How do researchers of cognitive development work to make sure that our field evolves so that our contribution to humanity is emancipatory? We can take inspiration from researchers near and far. Inspiration may be found in other areas of psychological research (social, cultural, etc.) and other social sciences (public health, sociology, etc.).…

In this study, I explore a time when I collaborated on an education-focused research project, which failed. I articulate my experience of failure as a positive means for improving collaborative research practice. I achieve this by repositioning the critiquing of failure through an auto-ethnographical account, integrating an adapted version of the…

Amidst worries of the world in precarious times, like the COVID-19 pandemic, glimmers of the possible emerge in nature reclaiming space. Similarly, children's literacy practices reflect this shift. Children and the natural world are not "discussing" change; they are "doing," "being," and "living" it. Their…

The paper presents findings from a research study of 318 mathematics teachers' experiences of access to, and use of, digital technology in their professional development in marginalised communities in ten districts across Bangladesh. The innovative two-cycle qualitative study design involved early career researchers collaborating with…

This empirical article offers a practical framework to complement Sandmann's integrated theoretical model for advancing the praxis of engaged scholarship in higher education institutions. The article introduces a newly developed integrated service-learning praxis (ISLP) approach, which served as a research context for constructing the practical…

This paper explores leadership learning of seven early career teachers who attended eight leadership for inclusion community of practice (LIn-CoP) workshops in the Republic of Ireland. A meta-model approach was used to inform this research drawing upon a community of practice approach using participatory action learning action research processes,…

Researchers have increasingly understood their positionality should be actively considered. However, these considerations usually focus on select characteristics, treat "identity" as a fixed construct, and are limited to discussions of research methodology. Returning to fieldnotes from one community that has long exemplified the…

The availability of expert reviewers, essential for academic publishing, is increasingly under threat, due to workload pressures and lack of development pathways. This inquiry, undertaken by the editors of an emergent higher education journal, draws on reviewers' experiences as articulated in 'reviewer stories' and examines key questions around…

In this collaborative analytic autoethnography, five researchers and teacher educators from various contexts describe how their participation in a network of critical action researchers led to rhizomatic growth across their landscapes of praxis. Through the authors' narratives, we learn how Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) concept of the rhizome and…

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the experiences of female academics and researchers in tertiary institutions in South Africa as a means of bridging the gaps in research productivity. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopted a qualitative research design of a phenomenological type to explore the experiences of purposively selected 20…

This introductory 'research paradigms' article discusses Indigenous methodologies in relation to those approaches more familiar to educational researchers. A useful Table introduces methodological frameworks for research students in education, highlighting the significance of theoretical and philosophical thinking for research.

Integrating research into teaching gives future practitioners the opportunity to inform and enhance their own professional capacities and practices with research. This study analyses integration practices currently employed by a sample of 124 university teachers delivering teacher education and education studies courses from three…

This article engages in an examination of reflecting upon a researcher's honesties within the context of conducting an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The purpose of this article is to outline how a researcher's reflexivity and awareness of emotions is central to IPA research which investigates Further Education practitioners' lived…

The aim of this study is to learn how a series of 3-day international seminars, emphasizing networking, and an academic writing, reviewing, and leading discussions, supports PhD students' professional learning and development by providing both a formal and non-formal context. The sample of this study consisted of PhD students from three countries…

Background/purpose: Unethical research conduct, particularly resource harvesting and neglecting knowledge holders, persists despite global regulations. Whether deliberate or unintentional, this outcome precipitates data exploitation, erosion of trust, and non-compliance among the individuals involved. The current study emphasizes the consciousness…
