We conducted a systematic literature review of 111 empirical studies published between 1969 and 2018. We found that research does not exponentially grow in comparison to research on higher education or leadership; empirical research emerging in the 1980s does not completely replace non-empirical inquiry. Studies from English-speaking authors…

Purpose: This study aims to delve into the evolution, trends and implications of scientific production related to service learning (SL) and community engagement for sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs). Because HEIs play a crucial role in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs), experiential learning approaches are…

Qualifying social work education is recognised as playing a critical role in equipping practitioners with the skills and interest to develop a 'research minded' approach to practice, yet in the UK context, the profession continues to grapple with questions about how to support practitioners to sustain and develop these skills post-qualification.…

Unethical research practices are prevalent in China, but little research has focused on the causes of these practices. Drawing on the criminology literature on organisational deviance, as well as the concept of "cengceng jiama," which illustrates the increase of pressure in the process of policy implementation within a top-down…

Innovative approaches to teaching genetics are essential for improving student engagement and comprehension in this challenging field. Laboratory-based instruction enhances engagement with the subject while fostering the development of practical competencies and deepening comprehension of theoretical concepts. However, constraints on time and…

Research increasingly seeks to answer the question: does special education work? This is different than asking if specific interventions have positive effects and instead aims to identify system-wide impacts. We systematically review published quantitative research on the impact of receiving special education services on student outcomes using…

Intersectionality is a key framework for understanding complex experiences of inequality and discrimination in contemporary societies and specifically in educational contexts. This scoping review examines academic discourse on intersectional pedagogy from 2020 to 2024, following the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Using…

Background: Citation practices are fundamental to teaching scholarly writing. With the emergence of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, students need a structured way to cite when and how these technologies are used. Objective: This paper introduces an instructor resource, an AI Contribution Statement, which provides students…

In fall 2021, I interviewed 6 teachers about their experiences with lactation (pumping) in schools following the birth of a child. Participants recounted heartbreaking stories as the neopatriarchal norms of their institutions clashed against the unpredictable nature of the embodied labor of infant feeding. This pain, however, is an incomplete…

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of intellectual disabilities education towards inclusion research from 2004 to 2024. Using the Scopus database and VOSviewer software, we analyzed 1,562 articles to identify research trends, key contributors, and emerging themes. The results reveal a significant increase in publication…

Micro-credentials are increasingly meeting the growing need for a flexible workforce and are particularly well suited to the open and distance learning (ODL) environment. While artificial intelligence (AI) is driving educational advancements, its integration into micro-credentials for ODL remains fragmented, hindering further growth. This research…

Background: Collaboration in early childhood services is essential for integrating interdisciplinary efforts to support child development. Despite its importance, research trends in this area remain fragmented and require systematic mapping. Aim: This study aims to analyse research trends on collaboration in early childhood services over the past…

This study highlights the efforts of a Detroit-based community research group to understand chronic absenteeism in a way that acknowledges its underlying complexities. Employing Participatory Action Research, an intergenerational team of community members and university researchers examined the disconnect between educators' strategies for…

Background/purpose: In this systematic and bibliometric review, we aim to document the approaches and methodologies used to evaluate the impact of educational programs in high schools. Focusing on the main components, such as teacher training, student support, and technology integration, the study explores the different evaluation methodologies,…

This paper offers a creative methodology for co-creating and analysing data when conducting research with children, families and practitioners in the early years. Instead of relying heavily on either adult observation or language when, for example, interviewing children, we propose the method of choreographed visual montage. We show the novelty…
