Theories and practices to enhance multiple document comprehension and integration are crucial in both personal and work contexts, especially with the proliferation of printed and online sources. This experimental investigation replicates and extends (Wei et al., Educational Technology Research and Development 72:661-685, 2024) to examine how…

This study aims to characterise inter-organisational collaboration and support networks between schools in a privatised, marketised, and competitive school system. It is located within and contributes to a body of literature on school networks, which has primarily focused on studying the architecture and conditions for the sustainability of the…

One expected outcome of physics instruction is for students to be capable of relating physical concepts to multiple mathematical representations. In quantum mechanics (QM), students are asked to work across multiple symbolic notations, including some they have not previously encountered. To investigate student understanding of the relationships…

Purpose: Academic coaching (AC) has gained a significant attention to support student success and achievement in higher education, management and psychology. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of AC literature to identify the top authors, research patterns, hotspots and research topics in the field.…

Network meta-analysis (NMA) is an established method for assessing the comparative efficacy and safety of competing interventions. It is often the case that we deal with interventions that consist of multiple, possibly interacting, components. Examples of interventions' components include characteristics of the intervention, mode (face-to-face,…

In this article, I present a new multivariate regression model for analyzing outcomes with network dependence. The model is capable to account for two types of outcome dependence including the mean dependence that allows the outcome to depend on selected features of a known dependence network and the error dependence that allows the outcome to be…

This study investigates inter- and intracoder reliability, proposing a new approach based on social network analysis (SNA) and exponential random graph models (ERGM). During a recent exit poll, the responses of voters to two open-ended questions were recorded. A coding experiment was conducted where a group of coders coded a sample of text…

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is an important skill enabling students to co-construct knowledge and tackle complex problems through group interactions. While the importance of group interactions in CPS is well recognized, it is unclear how the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI), with advanced cognitive support, may alter…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) chatbots extend transformative impact in higher education. Current research requires more comprehensive evaluations of the collaborative learning fostered by students and GenAI chatbots. However, existing articles have rarely explored the dynamic process of student--AI collaboration in higher…

The interest in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has grown since its first put forward in 1978. In response to the overwhelming interest, systematic literature reviews, as well as bibliometric studies, have been performed in describing the state-of-the-art and offering quantitative outlines with regard to the high-impact papers on global…

The rapid growth of technology and computer science, which has led to a surge in demand for skilled professionals in this field. The skill set required for computer science jobs has evolved rapidly, creating challenges for those already in the workforce who need to adapt their skills quickly to meet industry demands. To stay ahead of the curve, it…

Socially shared regulation in learning (SSRL) contributes to successful collaborative learning (CL). Empirical research into SSRL has received considerable attention recently, with increasingly available multimodal data, advanced learning analytics (LA), and artificial intelligence (AI) providing promising research avenues. Yet, integrating these…

This study aimed to offer fresh insights into the analysis of attitudes towards learning and perceptions of lifelong learning affecting lifelong learning participation by exploring the differences in network structures between lifelong learning participants and non-participants and identifying the core items with the greatest impact on lifelong…

While methodologies are often presented as standardised procedures which, under specified conditions, should lead to the same conclusions, this case study presents the complex and deeply personal process of research (Addey and Piattoeva 2022). We analyse our application of network ethnography -- an approach presented by Ball (2016) -- to the study…

Mentorship is a valuable component of the growth of junior faculty, but mentorship and the mentorship network in the broadly defined agricultural education discipline is not well understood. This study describes junior faculty mentees in the discipline and their mentors, as well as the mentorship interactions, including the social network of…
