This paper draws on my experience of supervising research degrees undertaken by practising artists, mainly painters. It is driven by the question of whether and how practice might be incorporated into the review process to encourage the development of more relevant research skills for practitioner-researchers. The aim is to develop methods of…

Collaborations between researchers and practitioners have recently become increasingly popular in education, and educational design research (EDR) may benefit greatly from investigating such partnerships. One important domain in which EDR on collaborations between researchers and practitioners can be applied is research on simulation-based…

This paper reports on the first iteration of the Computational Thinking Summer Institute, a month-long programme in which high school teachers co-designed computationally enhanced mathematics and science curricula with researchers. The co-design process itself was a constructionist learning experience for teachers resulting in constructionist…

The author reflects on the ingenuity and improvisation of black women as research methodology. She summarizes the contributions of the special issue to discuss the role and importance of creativity and lived experience in the work of black women researchers.

The relationship between education practice and education research has a long history. In modern times, education practice and its relation to education research has been central to debates about the nature and quality of education as an academic discipline in universities. This article reports an empirical study that investigated a new…

Background: Embedded research involves co-locating researchers within non-academic organisations to better link research and practice. Embedded research initiatives are often complex and emergent with a range of underlying intents, structures and processes. This can create tensions within initiatives and contributes to ongoing uncertainty about…

Purpose: This article discusses the need for continued evaluation of health education interventions/curricula and provides tools and resources to facilitate the selection of appropriate, evidencebased interventions/curricula for school health education programs. Methods: We review the literature related to the evaluation of school health education…

We investigate in-service teachers' reasons for trust and distrust in educational research compared to research in general. Building on previous research on a so-called "smart but evil" stereotype regarding educational researchers, three sets of confirmatory hypotheses were preregistered. First, we expected that teachers would emphasize…

Neoliberalism has become a highly dominating and taken-for-granted way of organising the university sector around the world. In the critical educational literature, this market-based rationality has been scrutinised in detail over the past decades. However, rather scant attention has been directed to how university managers and administrators,…

In contemporary writing on higher education, globalization and internationalization are increasingly popular terms, and they are also increasingly being used as frameworks for higher education research. This article discusses the meaning and application of these terms, documents their usage in higher education research, and critically reviews this…

This article focuses on how the capacity of diffractive readings is put to work in a study of two different types of visual material in research conducted in a preschool. The analysis with the help of--the language of the flat ontology--and the diffractive readings take place in educational research among three-year-olds. Children's photographs…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the quantitative measurement tools used in fields of study related to coproduction, as an approach to mobilizing knowledge, in order to inform the measurement of impact. Design/methodology/approach: An overview methodology was used to synthesize the findings from prior instrument reviews, focusing…

There is an increasing need for cross-cultural qualitative studies in an era of globalization. A focus group of five researchers, who were involved in a large international research project, identified effective strategies and challenges associated with five key domains of qualitative research with key informants: identification, recruitment,…

This work investigates the emergent nature of research on emotions and wellness in early childhood education and in life. The research discussed in this thesis was emergent and contingent. Through my experiences as an educator, student, mother, human being living through a pandemic, and daughter, I embraced opportunities for research in various…

The digital environment of journalism has transformed the business of gathering information (Van Der Haak, Parks, & Castells, 2012). This teacher-researcher case study explored the process in which students advance their knowledge within a self-directed university TV Broadcast Journalism course. Journalism is a process to develop a system of…
