The aim of the current paper is to offer a unique perspective on eye movement analysis in reading research by applying techniques from social network analysis to examine integration processes between sentences during reading. In a first step, we explored how network measures relate to the often-used duration measures in reading research in order…

Purpose: The primary objective of this research paper was to examine the objectivity of the preselected items evaluation (PIE) method, a prevalent translation scoring method deployed by international institutions such as UAntwerpen, UGent and the University of Granada. Design/methodology/approach: This research critically analyzed the scientific…

An issue devoted to foundational skills and adolescents might center the cognitive skills and practices most needed to accelerate learning. While an understanding of these--whether multisyllabic decoding, fostering comprehension through discussion, or argumentative writing--is important, in this article, we advocate for the importance of attending…

Missing data are common with large scale assessments (LSAs). A typical approach to handling missing data with LSAs is the use of listwise deletion, despite decades of research showing that approach can be a suboptimal strategy resulting in biased estimates. In order to help researchers account for missing data, we provide a tutorial using R and…

Researchers frequently use survey methods to collect data about many music education settings. Low response rates associated with survey-based research may lead to biased results and to error in statistical analysis. The purposes of this literature analysis were to review recommendations regarding acceptable response rates for survey research in…

This primer systematizes the emerging literature on causal inference using deep neural networks under the potential outcomes framework. It provides an intuitive introduction to building and optimizing custom deep learning models and shows how to adapt them to estimate/predict heterogeneous treatment effects. It also discusses ongoing work to…

The neurocognitive mechanisms underlying prevalent learning disorders, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and their comorbidity, remain unclear and are the subject of ongoing debate. The core-deficit hypothesis has long been the dominant theory explaining these mechanisms across various learning disorders. However, this hypothesis faces criticism for…

The important advance in neuroscience in recent years has generated a lot of knowledge about the brain and its functioning. Many times this knowledge has been misunderstood, causing the appearance of erroneous ideas that are known as neuromyths. The present study considers whether specific training in psychology can help reduce belief in these…

This edited volume presents groundbreaking research in science education, focusing on the intersection of science and cultural heritage. Showcasing 23 high-quality studies, it draws from presentations at the 15th Biennial ESERA Conference held in Cappadocia, Türkiye, organized by Hacettepe University, Gazi University, and Nevsehir Haci Bektas Veli…

Many U.S. education researchers studying racism and minoritized groups, including Latinxs, face the question of how to conceptualize Latinx vis-à-vis race. This question is important to the education field because schools--and education research--contribute to our society's understanding of race and the formation of racialized groups. The author…

This article reports on a systematic review of journal articles that used dyadic interviews, also known as paired or joint interviews. The two basic formats for these interviews involve either interviewing participants separately or together, plus the additional possibility of using both formats in the same study. A search using the Social Science…

Pre-service teacher leadership is an emerging and crucial area of educational research, gaining significant attention due to its impact on future educational outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate research trends in pre-service teacher leadership globally from 2018 to 2024 using bibliometric analysis with the Scopus database. A…

Research paradigms offer a way for scholars to design, communicate, and reflect on their research effectively. A paradigm encapsulates the researcher's worldview, including the epistemology, ontology, and axiology of the research. Researchers are often initiated, whether explicitly or implicitly, into particular paradigms through graduate study.…

In conversation with colleagues, it has been repeatedly addressed that the field of education research, whether philosophical, historical, or political, can be wildly depressing. One source of frustration is the subject content. Discussing historical and contemporary injustices in education, such as forced assimilation through residential schools,…

Matching methods are widely used in educational research to estimate causal effects when randomization is not feasible. These techniques pair treated units (such as schools receiving an intervention) with similar control units based on observable characteristics. However, current statistical inference procedures for these methods can produce…
