Discipline-based education research (DBER) uses researchers' disciplinary background to inform investigations into university teaching and learning. The terms of student involvement in DBER are often dictated by the researchers, with student choice limited to whether or not they will contribute data. This is counter to the ethos of active student…

This review addresses the current knowledge on inclusive education suggesting that many studies focus on predetermined groups of disadvantaged learners . This review aims 1) to map the research on inclusive education for all (IEFA) and 2) to assess the consistency of studies in their approach to inclusive education (IE), research methodology and…

This paper presents a scoping review of relevant literature to characterise research on education in prisons. After reviewing 353 peer-reviewed articles spanning 10 years of research, we conclude that research on education in prisons in global research databases (i) is dominated by qualitative studies, (ii) is primarily focused on the…

As two Remida Reggio-inspired early childhood teacher educators, we (re)consider our research embedded in longtime writings and workshops together. (Re)cycling our public/visible thinking with Remida-inspired reuse materials' educational ecologies, we (re)write together here to find new ways of envisioning our shared identities as related to a…

The biology workforce has a need for undergraduate students trained in bioinformatics. Although bioinformatics is a critical sub-discipline of biology, it is not required in all biology degree programs. In parallel, there is a need to increase student access to research experiences. To address these needs, we offer a one-credit…

This case study is derived from a systematic literature review (SLR) examining the efficacy of flipped learning in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) within higher education. It explores the methodological rigor of synthesizing qualitative and quantitative research findings to evaluate educational pedagogies. Central to this case study…

This case study utilizes 's narrative inquiry framework, Labov's narrative analysis, and indigenous methodologies to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on teaching and learning in Trinidad and Tobago. The research emphasizes the importance of employing culturally sensitive approaches to authentically represent Trinbagonian voices in…

Within educational research, there is a growing interest in using neuroscience methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs) to probe neural mechanisms underlying students' learning and development, in natural, school-based settings. The results of these studies are beginning to appear in educational,…

This Case Study provides an understanding of the ways in which intersectional feminist research can be carried out despite the complexities of sensitive data and a precarious landscape. The term "sensitive data" captures the taboo nature and cultural hesitance surrounding women's bodies and the practice of female genital cutting.…

This chapter uses critical perspectives on whiteness to critique higher education's institutional research practice. After briefly describing institutional research, we summarize scholarship about autonomy, ethics, and predictive analytics to illustrate how existing guidance and beliefs about institutional research often dehumanize students by…

There have been debates about the quality and usefulness of education research for a long time, with opinion often dividing along methodological lines. Those on different sides of an apparent methodological schism often bemoan the lack of recognition and resources afforded to their chosen approach. Whatever one's position on the existence, or…

The purpose of this review is to present what we know about paternalistic leadership (PL) in education. Systematic content analysis was adopted to identify the manifest and latent information across 29 identified empirical studies obtained through the core educational leadership and management journals and the two databases, Education Resources…

This research brief describes key takeaways for researchers from a rigorous evaluation of Single Stop, a college basic needs intervention. The study team faced challenges with student take-up of Single Stop services such as application support, tax services, and case management in a randomized control trial of Single Stop that was conducted across…

This brief provides guidance to researchers on opportunities to strengthen implementation and student take-up in rigorous studies of college student support interventions. Researchers describe four lessons learned from "Connecting Students to Basic Needs Support: An Evaluation of Single Stop Across Ten Colleges," a RAND study of a…

Debates around the Science of Reading have often been couched in consideration of research scholarship. However, before a meaningful dialogue centered on empirical evidence can fruitfully take place, there must be some clarity around shared literacy values, and around how those values might be addressed through instruction. Drawing on…
