The goals of science education must be sufficiently broad to support learners navigating changing scientific, social, and media landscapes. This position paper builds upon existing scholarship to articulate a set of constructs useful for navigating the modern information landscape including constructs with a long history in science education…

Access to and use of feedback is a key element in students' acquisition of knowledge and skills. However, given limited educational resources and large classes, technology-enhanced feedback is taking on an increasing role in education. These systems can assist the feedback process holistically by generating, delivering, and using feedback. In…

This reflective paper raises important questions regarding ethics in applied linguistics research. Starting with understanding the need for an analysis of ethics in the field, the reflective paper opens with an excerpt from Ema Ushioda's abstract from the 5th Psychology of Language Learning (PLL5) conference in Madrid in May 2024, which provided…

Although feedback is often presented as if it were a well-understood concept in health professions education, in practice it can mean many things. For some, feedback is a conversation about defining and improving performance, while for others it is the information generated by assessments and tools. Indeed, feedback has variously been defined as a…

Personalized System of Instruction (PSI), also known as the Keller method, is a specific instructional design. There has been limited research focused on how this method has been used in teaching in higher education. The aim of this systematic review is to focus on how PSI has been applied to teaching in higher education in the last 20 years.…

The impact of academic inbreeding on research productivity remains unclear. This study examines a critical yet often overlooked distinction: How the link between inbreeding and publication activity differs when academics' primary focus is teaching versus research. Focusing on highly productive Russian PhD holders, our findings reveal a complex…

Background: Given the increasing number of researchers engaging in engineering education research (EER) globally, there is intensifying interest in researcher development. Purpose: This study systematically reviewed the literature guided by the research question--"What are the key factors and how do they influence the development of…

Background/Context: Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) play an important role in evaluating interventions in psychological, educational, and behavioral research. Unlike between-subjects designs, SCEDs involve a small number of cases whose responses to controlled experimental conditions are measured repeatedly over time. The evaluation of…

Background: While there is substantial heterogeneity in the extent to which educational intervention impacts persist, it has proven challenging to identify outcomes and intervention features that reliably explain variation (Hart et al., 2024). The degree to which intervention impacts capture "real" effects on the underlying construct…

This guide will help researchers design and implement impact studies in education so that the findings are more generalizable to the study's target population. Guidance is provided on key steps that researchers can take, including defining the target population, selecting a sample of schools--and replacement schools, when needed--managing school…

The puzzle of how to connect research with policy and practice is a vital area for scientific inquiry. The William T. Grant Foundation believes that attempts to improve the use of research evidence in policy and practice should be subject to rigorous theory building and empirical analysis. The stakes are high for the research community: If we do…

The connections between critical pedagogy, living theory and participatory action research (PAR) are discussed to explore their combined strength for empowering students, positively impacting on their attitudes towards their mathematics learning and creating social change in their primary-secondary mathematics transitions. This transition is…

Reflexive commitments tend to be lacking, particularly from the perspective of early career scholars. This is particularly true in relation to published research, but evident in doctoral studies exploring teachers work. Using principles of phenomenological reflexivity, this methodological paper explores the critical incidents that have come to…

Background: Studying science identity has been useful for understanding students' continuation in science-related education and career paths. Yet knowledge and theory related to science identity among students on the path to becoming a professional science researcher, such as students engaged in research at the undergraduate, postbaccalaureate,…

Diffracting a research project in a UK primary school, this paper concerns feminist materialist orientations to odd-ness as a relational, distributed, and affective form of "thinking-feeling". It suggests that attuning to affect as it moves through a context resistant to disruption, involves becoming "bad researchers"; bad for…
