This paper examines translation in qualitative research as an ethic of care. I conceptualize care-ful translation in conversation with teachers in India who enact care as a complex entanglement of establishing normativity, carrying out responsibility, and being responsive. I focus my examination on dhyaan, a Hindi term used by teachers when…

This study explores the perceived gap between journalism education and professional practice in Tanzania and Zambia. Through interviews with educators and journalists and an analysis of 12 journalism curricula, the findings reveal that both educators and journalists acknowledged a gap, with a shared desire for improved alignment between academic…

In a higher education (HE) landscape that is becoming increasingly internationalised and diversified, the importance of inclusive teaching practices, particularly in the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), is gaining growing international attention. While comprehensive frameworks and strategies are developed through educational…

This article conceptually explores different practice theoretical vantage points in empirical studies of professional and organisational learning processes. Through an ethnographic study of a management development program in Denmark, possibilities and limitations of three different practice-theoretical approaches are considered. Firstly, learning…

This study examines educators' experiences of implementing research--practice partnership (RPP) in three schools in Finland's capital area. The data consisted of educator interviews (N = 12) and self-report questionnaire responses (N = 101). Teachers' experiences were traced by data-driven thematic analysis of the interviews and quantitative…

Research on Self-regulated Learning (SRL) increasingly emphasises contextual factors, highlighting the contingent, dynamic and temporal nature of self-regulation. However, the experiential aspect of how learners actually perceive and engage with SRL still remains relatively unexplored. While SRL emphasises active learner involvement in learning,…

Professional practice doctoral education is distinguished by its focus on practice-based pedagogies aimed at fostering students' development as researching professionals--individuals who are adept at using evidence to tackle educational issues. To advance students' research competence, the doctoral study should facilitate the integration of…

This scoping review aims to provide an overview of how multimodal learning analytics has been applied in K-8 research and offers methodological insights and recommendations to bridge the gap between theory and practice. We identified 14 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2011 and 2023 through searches in relevant databases and…

Understanding how student teacher professional agency (STPA) develops during teacher education is crucial for educators and curriculum developers interested in strengthening it. To explore this process comprehensively, environmental factors (i.e., curriculum coherence between theory and practice and the learning environment) and individual factors…

The British Educational Research Association (BERA) has promulgated a concept of close-to-practice research that is seen as vital to defending and promoting education as an academic discipline. However, what is overlooked are the questions of what education is for and what educational practice is--questions that need to be addressed for any…

The challenge faced by newly graduated nurses from undergraduate study to practice is a persistent theme in nursing practice literatures. However, there is a lack of understanding about how this transition happens. This focused ethnographic study explored how newly graduated nurses (novices) interacted with experienced nurses and learnt in a…

Theory-focused joint displays represent an innovative approach to data and results integration with potential to build understanding of complex constructs, including factors that influence change over time. However, the extant literature offers few examples for doing so, particularly in convergent research designs. Therefore, the purpose of this…

Factors influencing evaluation use has been a primary concern for evaluators. However, little is known about the current conceptualizations of evaluation use including what counts as use, what efforts encourage use, and how to measure use. This article identifies enablers and constraints to evaluation use based on a scoping review of literature…

Research in mathematics education can be understood as a system of activities addressing the basic and applied problems related to teaching and learning of mathematics. Such a system includes the activities of foundation, planning, implementation, evaluation of mathematics instruction, and teacher professional development, which are supported by…

In this article, we try to understand the phenomenon of pedagogical tact as a particular form of power to judge. For this, we rehearse Immanuel Kant's idea of "Urteilskraft" as it first appears in the "Critique of Pure Reason," where it is also rendered in educational terms. However, the power to apply rules works without any…
