Large language models (LLMs), through their exposure to massive collections of online text, learn to reproduce the perspectives and linguistic styles of diverse social and cultural groups. This capability suggests a powerful social scientific application--the simulation of empirically realistic, culturally situated human subjects. Synthesizing…

This study aims to synthesize teachers' assessment literacy (AL) reviews of past studies to find how AL is conceptualized, measured, and developed and formulate recommendations for further empirical studies. As AL is important for teachers to contribute to teaching and learning improvement, a growing body of teacher AL research has been…

Dyslexia and its associated learning challenges are often misconstrued as intellectual deficits, leading to erroneous assumptions that individuals with dyslexia cannot thrive or contribute meaningfully to academic institutions. However, this article contends that the unique thinking patterns associated with dyslexia are complementary to and can…

Social mobility scholars have long been interested in estimating the effect of intergenerational mobility, typically measured by differences in the socioeconomic status between parents and offspring, on later-life outcomes of offspring. In a 2022 article "Heterogeneous Effects of Intergenerational Social Mobility: An Improved Method and New…

This paper examines the use of qualitative creative methodology in studying young children's humor drawing from the experience of the previous work of the author on humor with young children. The author describes, analyses and reflects on the use and value of each method and tool employed in exploring young children's humor development and the…

Student engagement plays an important role in realising the potential of interdisciplinary learning in monodisciplinary higher education, in which developing interdisciplinary student collaboration has proved challenging. A necessary first step to further discussions around cultivating and supporting disciplinary student engagement in…

Expectations of how theory, empirical material, and methods should be dealt with in academic writing has not always been explicitly communicated to students. Due to a heterogeneity in student populations enrolled in higher degree courses worldwide, diversity in academic writing practices has increased. This paper explores academic writing…

Since its inception, no formal content analysis of the "Sport Management Education Journal" has been conducted. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine article characteristics, assess topic diversity, determine predominant themes and methodological frameworks, and identify editorship and authorship gender differences. A total of…

We compare the scheme for educational dialogue analysis (SEDA) to the actor-network theory (ANT) for the analysis of educational dialogues. We show that ANT unearths the socio-material structure of classroom talk as networks in which human and non-human actors (texts, diagrams, instructions, etc.) exert power on each other. The application of ANT…

Opportunities to closely monitor and evaluate students' mathematical thinking enables accurate interpretations of their conceptual understanding. This methodological paper reports on a novel and versatile analysis approach to extract student thinking during mathematical games through the generation of Dynamic Learning Artefacts (DLAs).…

Scenarios, or short descriptions of hypothetical situations, can serve as a methodological tool to gather insights and develop an understanding about participants' perceptions. Studies have made use of scenarios to gauge student beliefs about the acceptability of various writing activities that may be considered help, plagiarism, or something…

Our field is brimming with insights into how children learn mathematics. Yet, much of this treasure fails to reach a group that holds significant influence over children's learning: parents. While most parents want their child to succeed in the subject, many do not know how to help, or are so wounded from their own mathematics education that they…

The aim of this study is to obtain an overview of the literature on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods in educational research, to map the literature, to identify existing knowledge and application areas, to reveal the methods used and their purposes of use, and to reveal the thematic structure of the field. This study followed a…

Linguistic ethnographers are invested in empirically studying, rather than presupposing, social problems that are produced in language. Their dialogue with subjects who experience these problems helps explain why fields such as sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology are considered critical. This article critiques the criticality in this…

Purpose: Poetic inquiry is an approach that promotes alternate perspectives about what research means and speaks to more diverse audiences than traditional forms of research. Across academia, there is increasing attention to decolonising research. This reflects a shift towards research methods that recognise, acknowledge and appreciate diverse…
