The purpose of this study is to evaluate the scientific production and performance of the concept 'challenging schools' from 2000 to today through a bibliometric analysis complemented by scientific mapping. The study resorted to different processes to quantify, analyse, evaluate, and estimate the scientific output by means of specific software…

Prior learning assessment (PLA) uses testing or competency portfolios to assess and grant credit for college-level learning, thus offering personal and professional empowerment to adult learners. The purpose of this review was to systematically examine global academic literature related to PLA over a decade. An earlier review of U.S. literature…

It has been over 60 years since interpreter and translator trainers began to generate and disseminate knowledge in the 1950s. Although there have been reviews of 10 to 15 years of research, no attempts have been made to review the literature published over the past six decades for an overall landscape of knowledge creation in T&I education.…

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of studies on the measurement of frontier efficiency in higher education. We review the database of 89 studies assessing higher education efficiency by applying both parametric and non-parametric methods. For the selection of studies, the Scopus-indexed journals from 1977 to 2022 are screened and…

This study explored research trends in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Descriptive analysis and co-word analysis were used to examine articles published in Social Science Citation Index journals from 2011 to 2020. From a search of the Web of Science database, a total of 761 articles were selected as target…

The purpose of this research article is to explore how social justice in education has evolved over the past 50 years of peer-reviewed article publications in Kansas State University College of Education's academic journal, "Educational Considerations." The research sought to unveil how social justice in education has evolved over the…

Published articles within the "Journal of Research on Technology in Education (JRTE)" report on original research and include project descriptions, evaluations, literature syntheses, assessments, and theoretical or conceptual positions. These works inform the field of educational technology related to teaching and learning. As the…

This systematic literature review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the experimental intervention research being published from 2010 to 2020 within "Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals" (CDTEI). We critically evaluated studies found through a hand-search of CDTEI and identified patterns and trends across…

Given limited investigation into the state and status of physical education policy research internationally, we suggest there is a need for a more comprehensive empirical review of physical education policy research internationally to inform a future research agenda. The purpose of this scoping review is to map the international peer-reviewed…

Having, in Part I, introduced the Math Ed Majors, the purpose of this article is to introduce a novel, unconventional, professional-golf-based author productivity index for those publishing their research and scholarship in the field of mathematics education. Once again, I look to men's professional golf, and men's major championships; however,…

Research on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) has tended to have a bad reputation within the field of public administration. In this manuscript, I discuss the issue of impactful research within the field and provide an argument for why we should be focusing more on pedagogical research than more traditional avenues. Not only does…

The main part of this dissertation study consists of a survey of the types of articles (e.g., articles based on qualitative research, articles based on quantitative research, theoretical articles, etc.) that appear between 2016 and 2021 in five of the leading mathematics education journals (N = 1,317). In addition, for the articles that carry out…

The purpose of this mixed methods bibliometric study was to identify the trends and issues in student-run peer-reviewed journals of education and to determine predictive factors of journal longevity. To that end, a search for journals was conducted, yielding 11 journals and 1,105 records. Journals were coded for editorial procedures, goals, and…

The purpose of this article is to identify, from the plethora of journals dedicated to publishing research in the field of mathematics education, in general, and from mathematics education's 'Group of Seven', in particular, what I call the Math Ed Majors. In order to do so, I look to men's professional golf, and men's major golf championships.…
