This paper puts forward a research agenda in the area of explicit and implicit knowledge and learning of second or additional languages. Based on a brief overview of reliable findings as well as open questions in the field, three agenda items are highlighted. First, valid and reliable measures of explicit and, in particular, implicit knowledge and…

Purpose: This paper contends that data generated by research on supervision are often taken as authentic data. Through an examination of studies that use audio/visual recordings to investigate supervision, the paper both promotes and problematises the recording of supervision meetings as a useful technique for doctoral supervision research. This…

This paper explores the challenges of filming as a qualitative research method in practical school subjects. We exemplify with an observation study using video data collected from lessons in Home Economics, but the issues we discuss are also relevant for other subjects with practical elements, such as Arts, Crafts, Music, Physical Education, and…

Excellence in research is essential for advancing knowledge, fostering innovation, and addressing societal challenges. This article proposes the INDEX Strategy Framework as a structured, evidence-based guide to optimize the research process. The framework encompasses five critical phases: Identify Focus Areas, Network and Collaborate, Design…

Participatory research is one pathway for advancing the agenda of autistic advocates; however, little is known about the attitudes and values of autism researchers toward participatory research. This is a participatory research mixed-methods study of 215 survey respondents and 21 interviewees, all corresponding authors of published autism research…

Purpose: This paper discusses participatory research as a way to amplify the voices of students with blindness and visual impairment, drawing on insights from a participatory research project on the perceived barriers and opportunities for these students to participate in specialized PE, as well as their imaginations of a digitized, and more…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the evolving role of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework in teacher education. It aims to explore the development of TPACK scholarship, identify key contributors, and evaluate its academic and societal impact, thereby offering a comprehensive understanding of its influence…

The purpose of this exploratory study was to document aspects of research methodology in educational leadership directed at emerging school leaders and the academic community that supports them. The intricacy of educational challenges highlights the necessity for a thorough investigation, the results of which will inform suitable reforms. Scholars…

The transformative turn in research and innovation (R&I) policy calls for new approaches to monitoring and evaluation, yet most evaluands are still rooted in previous policy paradigms. For evaluators tasked with conducting ex-post evaluations, this situation creates multiple challenges that have received little attention to date. In this…

The reproducibility crisis in the sciences is now well established. Curiously, only sporadic attention has been paid to it in kinesiology. This is a mistake. The scientific research produced in kinesiology is not exempt from the causes of the crisis. These causes include human, statistical and philosophical limitations inherent to the scientific…

Background: Research quality is often discussed in terms of excellence, emphasising replicability and trustworthiness. Practice-based research instead emphasises implementability and practical impact, and thus, may reflect other values and logics and challenge how high-quality practice-based research is defined. The aim of this study is to explore…

Canada does not have a national system wide assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of academic research. We do not have a Research Excellence Framework such as in the United Kingdom. Yet Canadian researchers, funders and institutions are interested in research impact, particularly the methods and processes for generating impacts to complement…

This paper describes the development of a bibliometric strength, potential and risk analysis tool, and its applications for research strategy and evaluation. We focus specifically on the motivation, organizational strategic needs, the development and evaluation of the tool. Furthermore, we highlight the co-creation process of the tool and discuss…

Rapid approaches are essential when resources are limited and when findings are required in real-time to inform decisions. Limitations exist in their design and implementation, which can lead to a reduced level of trust in findings. This review sought to map the methods used across rapid evaluations and research to facilitate timeliness and…

If post-qualitative studies is committed to rethinking epistemologies and ontologies of matter and humanism, then why is the field perpetuating narrow, "one-slit," theorizing? Does it matter who we theorize with? And what matter matters in post-qualitative inquiry? These questions guide the discussion in this essay as Pillow offers a…
