The language wars have driven decision-making and educational options for D/deaf and hard of hearing children for over a century, yet we still have not made sufficient progress in closing the linguistic and educational gaps between D/deaf and hard of hearing children and their hearing peers. Perhaps it is time to abandon the bifurcated approach…

Engaging students actively in assessment, using a range of formative activities, consistently over sustained periods is a common recommendation in the assessment for learning literature. Despite this, practice still lags behind. Our case study aims to bridge the widening gap between theory and practice by illustrating the application of recent…

Psychology majors typically conduct at least one research project during their undergraduate studies, yet these projects rarely make a scientific contribution beyond the classroom. In this study, we explored one potential reason for this--that student projects may not be aligned with best practices in the field. In other words, we wondered if…

Crowdsourcing is a digital method used in business and academia to engage public participation in the provision of services, ideas, or information. This original case study focuses on examining process-based challenges of combining knowledge and skills of diverse crowdsourcing stakeholders in a network for shared learning. Participatory action…

In participatory action research (PAR), university-based researchers often take foundational concepts such as transformation, empowerment, critical consciousness, and mutual understanding for granted as desirable or necessary outcomes or achievements. We discuss the danger of this and suggest that researchers recognize these as processes that…

This study aims to descriptively analyze the studies on multiple disabilities in Türkiye between 2008 and 2022. The data of the research were searched in Anadolu University Library, Google Scholar, and Higher Education Institution Thesis databases with the keywords multiple disability, multiple disabilities, and additional disability. In this…

In health technology assessment (HTA), population-adjusted indirect comparisons (PAICs) are increasingly considered to adjust for the difference in the target population between studies. We aim to assess the conduct and reporting of PAICs in recent HTA practice, by performing, a methodological systematic review of studies implementing PAICs from…

Originating from the learning sciences community, design-based research (DBR) is attracting interest from many educational researchers including those focused on mathematics. Beyond its research role, it is being seen as a collaborative way to engage teachers in deep professional development leading not only to changes in skill but also in…

This article reports on an integrative literature review of the self-study research published between 2009 and 2021 and examines how authors defined, enacted, and addressed validity within the self-study literature. We follow the example provided in the 2004 article by Feldman, Paugh, and Mills in order to gain more insights into the distinctions…

Preregistration involves researchers publicly registering key study elements before conducting a study to increase the transparency of research and limit the use and impact of questionable research practices. To support special education researchers' engagement with preregistrations, in this article we provide an overview of preregistration and…

The fields of implementation science and the study of research use in policy and practice travel on many of the same roads and share similar goals, chief among which is improving societal outcomes through the application of research. Both fields also attract interdisciplinary teams and create strikingly similar knowledge across contexts. However,…

"Researching Practices Across and Within Diverse Educational Sites" explores the role of educational research in uncertain, risky times. Researching practices and their consequences transpire unpredictably, depending on how we set about to understand these practices. The authors consider the unknowns in research action, and what promises…

Learning has a temporal characteristic in nature, which means that it occurs over the passage of time. The research on the temporal aspects of learning faces several challenges, one of which is utilizing appropriate analytical techniques to exploit the temporal data. There is no coherent guide to selecting certain temporal techniques to lead to…

Ways of knowing in social sciences and educational research are sculpted by normative knowing of ways that are rooted in prescriptive histories of positivist and qualitative traditions. In this paper, by subscribing to what St. Pierre and Lather initiated as the "postqualitative movement", we turn from tradition to re-search research…

"Re-Theorising Learning and Research Methods in Learning Research" explores the latest developments in the field of learning theory, offering an overview of emerging methods and demonstrating how recent research contributes to furthering understanding of learning. This book illustrates how theory and methods inform one another,…
