Biologists pursuing faculty jobs are often married to other biologists who may also desire faculty positions. This increases the complexity of the job search, with little guidance for early career researchers about doing this successfully. Couples have been surveyed, but less research qualitatively investigates the lived experiences of couples…

Reflexivity has become a key concept in RE. It plays a vital role in the interpretive approach and the broader contexts of hermeneutics, anthropology, and research methodology. Moreover, reflexivity is closely related to other terms like self-awareness and self-reflection. How can we conceptualise reflexivity and these related concepts? What are…

Background: The peer review process plays a vital role in the advancement of engineering educational research because it is largely through this process that the field determines which knowledge claims are considered valid. Unfortunately, peer review processes may reinforce inequities when peer reviewers, as readers, are not reflective about the…

This article presents a challenge to notions of clarity--and its relation to understanding--within the college composition classroom by relying on Lacanian pedagogical theory. While the field of composition has issued criticisms against clarity in student writing, there has been less emphasis on interrogating clarity in instruction. By delineating…

Data-based decision-making (DBDM) is an important, evidence-based framework that schools and teachers can utilize to elicit positive student outcomes. However, much of the research on DBDM has occurred at the elementary level. Crone and colleagues wrote a compelling article on how 25 middle school teams were functioning in terms of DBDM essentials…

Background: Coughing and throat clearing are different airway protective manoeuvres elicited in the framework of dysphagia. However, coughing and throat clearing may be auditorily confused during a clinical swallowing evaluation. In addition, literature reporting comparisons between coughing and throat clearing via gold standard airflow metrics is…

Many large-scale assessments model proficiency with a latent regression on contextual variables. Item-response data are used to estimate the parameters of the latent variable model and are used in conjunction with the contextual data to generate plausible values of individuals' proficiency attributes. These models typically incorporate numerous…
