Drawing loosely upon strategies associated with collaborative autoethnography we conceptualise the place of practice in the professional doctorate through four distinct moves each of which compel us towards the conclusion that research, and practice are mutually entangled. In our first move 'research informs practice'. In this space practice is a…

This paper deals with the role of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) among staff on teaching-only contracts in UK higher education, particularly in contrast with the activities of research-active staff. Drawing on the results of a quantitative study carried out during the summer of 2021 among modern foreign language teachers in 64 UK…

Educational researchers are increasingly expected to focus on their research productivity as per their professional performance. Such a trend may have influenced their professional identities and activities, especially in the Global South, where researchers have not been immersed in the new research culture and where their assumed primary role may…

This article provides a conceptual discussion of 'ownership' in various forms of participatory research. The discussion is grounded in our experiences from three research projects in science education. We seek to understand how and why ownership may be distributed between teachers and researchers at different stages in the research process.…

Despite an elusive definition of engineering leadership, educators and researchers forge ahead to identify disparate and complementary theories which frame engineering leadership.

Purpose: This paper aims to reveal learning potential in crossing disciplinary boundaries in facilitated workshops by exploring the research goal definition process of interdisciplinary research teams. It uses multilevel boundary crossing as a theoretical framework to illustrate the multilevel nature of team learning mechanisms in…

Drawing on Judith Butler's theory of performativity and positioning approaches, this paper examines how asylum seekers actively assert agency in navigating and (re)constructing their subjectivities and identities within research interviews. The analysis explores the power dynamics inherent in the interview setting and broader public discourse,…

This study aims to provide an overview of the distribution of the Spanish scientific workforce focusing on differences in authorship position by gender, academic age, number of authors, and research field. The results show some degree of parity in younger age cohorts and areas such as biomedicine, but little participation of females in the oldest…

The pandemic represented a context where rapid changes to planning, organization and service delivery were undertaken to respond to an urgent and life-threatening health system problem. There was intense interest in knowledge mobilization--mechanisms that allow the timely sharing of evidence with the aim of supporting improvement--to mitigate the…

Higher education is plagued by concerns about the return on investment of a four-year degree, low rates of degree completion, and the mental and emotional health of students. A factor in all these concerns is the frustrating reality that, at far too many of the nation's 2,000 four-year colleges, the work of teaching and mentoring is only a…

Research-Practice Partnerships (RPPs) have recently grown in popularity as they provide a formal framework for collaborative research between researchers and practitioners. Moreover, there is a plethora of guidance for executing effective RPPs. However, there is a continuing question of whether partnerships are practical and useful; thus, our…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), and particularly generative AI, into research methods is rapidly transforming both academic and industry marketing research, including both methods practices and education regarding these practices. AI application within methods offers new opportunities for enhancing efficiency, automating…

This paper reflexively explores the primary researcher's experiences when building rapport during an ethnography within an alternative education provision. Moving beyond the well-documented importance of rapport in ethnographic research, this article outlines the process of building rapport, which developed through the early stages of the research…

What is it to "care" and be "caring" as ethical music education researchers? Practices and principles of care have been explored critically in the domains of critical psychology, political theory, more-than-human-worlds, aesthetics, and feminist research practice. We need to do much more than integrate research ethics into…

This paper explores the role of intersectional reflexivity in conducting an autoethnographic exploration of personal transformation within academic research. Using autoethnographic data from regular journaling, I illustrate my shift from a profoundly ingrained positivist research mode toward embracing alternative theoretical traditions that…
