This study aimed to develop a mentoring-based model for enhancing the action research (PAOR) competency of lead research teachers for the deaf in Thailand. The study employed a research and development (R&D) approach, consisting of four phases. Phase 1: Situation Analysis involved assessing the current research competency of 66 teachers at…

A growing body of scholarship foregrounds research-practice partnerships (RPPs) as venues for advancing equity in education. However, few studies focus on partnerships with state education agency leaders, despite their influential roles connecting policy and practice. This article explores state leaders' experiences collaborating in an…

This paper introduces the concept of 'hyper-ambition' in academia as a contributing factor to what has been termed a 'replication crisis' across some sciences. The replication crisis is an umbrella term that covers a range of 'questionable research practices', from sloppy reporting to fraud. There are already many proposals to address questionable…

Building from established literature and his research, Milner introduces a framework for designing consequential research. The framework is constructed to help researchers design, identify, and assess research as potentially consequential. In particular, the framework is developed for researchers to intentionally include essential elements that…

Chinese higher education institutions are facing an increasing threat of campus crises, especially the academic and sexual misconduct of faculty members, which have caused severe impacts on the reputation and development of universities and colleges. Crisis communication strategies are one of the critical measures for universities and colleges to…

Human ratings are ubiquitous in creativity research. Yet, the process of rating responses to creativity tasks -- typically several hundred or thousands of responses, per rater -- is often time-consuming and expensive. Planned missing data designs, where raters only rate a subset of the total number of responses, have been recently proposed as one…

Community-partnered educational research projects exist in a complex network of stakeholders, values, time constraints and funding limitations. Many researchers are beholden to mandates around their funding, as well as the tenure clock and the 'publish or perish' mindset. However, building rapport and trust with communities takes time and resource…

The requirement that a doctoral dissertation must contribute an original body of knowledge can present a quandary to the doctoral candidate, how does one pursue this route without embracing risk? Through reflective storytelling, this narrative delves into the transformative journey of a teacher-researcher navigating the doctoral study environment.…

Despite the enormous investment in educational technology research, there are sincere questions about whether it is having a meaningful effect on issues that really matter. Put simply, is education better because of us? In this paper we argue that our field is not having the impact it could, due largely to our instrumentalist approach to ed tech…

This case study surfaces the process of enacting an ongoing 5-year (2022-2027), decolonizing, participatory action research (PAR) project in which Ugandan and Canadian researchers, educators, parents, community members, and NGOs have worked together to understand how effective child rights education can be implemented in diverse global contexts.…

This case study is based on a research project with an aim to explore the experiences of student teachers who are also parents, at a large university teacher education provider in Yorkshire. The project team included two student parents from a teacher education program at the university, and three academic members of staff who work in teacher…

This article interrogates the affective, discursive, and material registers of academic precarization for Swiss and international Early Career Researchers (hereafter: ECRs), specifically in a three-step initiative put forward by a larger self-organised committee of ECRs institutionally regarded as promising scholars. First, in this…

To provide insights into how institutions can scaffold institutional researchers' construction of strong professional identities, we employed a qualitative approach, rooted in the constructivist paradigm, which involved conducting semi-structured interviews with 11 IR professionals regarding how they conceptualized their professional identities.…

Background: Parents are uniquely placed to support their child's development. Interventions which are designed to be delivered by parents therefore hold considerable promise, particularly for children with neurodevelopmental conditions that are associated with particular developmental strengths and challenges. Aims: This study worked in…

The involvement of non-academics in academic research is key to boosting knowledge exchange and ensuring that academic research is more effective in contributing to tackling the challenges faced by organizations and citizens. Although incentives, together with new organizational and knowledge producing modes, have fostered this involvement, the…
