This paper addresses the role of 'emotional labour' in conducting sensitive research. As such it begins to unpick the emotional and embodied consequences of working with data which covers sensitive subjects, in this case perinatal death, and considers how such responses are likely to impact on the analysis of data. We draw upon two doctoral…

This quantitative case study employs weblog data supplied by six major academic journal publishers, known as HTTP referer [sic] data from Washington State University IP address ranges to reveal the sites that researchers and students use to retrieve academic journal literature. HTTP referrers to academic journal articles were categorized as…

This article aims to reveal the factors that affecting the impact of international collaboration papers in the field of social sciences and humanities. Based on resource-based theory and transaction cost theory, we analyzed the articles from a sample of 13,331 listed research papers come from the 42 world class universities in China using…

This article uses a context of increasing institutional demand to be geographically mobile to examine how early-career researchers move across borders. I explore the case of Swiss academia, a particularly competitive and attractive environment with the highest levels of inbound and outbound mobility in Europe. In line with the aims of the European…

In this article, we focus on students and teachers as practitioners of learning, a powerful notion seminal to Exploratory Practice, which is a form of practitioner research developed by working to understand local puzzles, by integrating research and regular pedagogic activities, and by emphasizing practitioners' understandings of the quality of…

Although English language teachers are increasingly being encouraged to engage in forms of collaborative practitioner research (PR), such as action research and exploratory practice, to date there are still comparatively few studies recounting the benefits of collaboration in research from teachers' perspectives. Drawing on cultural-historical…

Project SMURF is an initiative of the Planning and Research Section (PRS) to uplift the performance of the Schools Division of Calapan City in research. Accordingly, this action research tested the effectiveness of the project and investigates further its possible contributions in attaining DepEd Goals. Underneath the quantitative research method,…

Last year, the William T. Grant Foundation took stock of its initiative to support research on reducing inequality in youth outcomes. The aim was to understand, in part, the pathways through which grantees' research findings may be reaching audiences including researchers, journalists, policymakers, and practitioners. Five years into the reducing…

Cross-cultural qualitative research is essential to develop practical approaches to promote adult education and training in diverse societies. Yet, little systematic guidance is available to successfully conduct a large-scale cross-national qualitative inquiry in general, and in virtual settings in particular. The purpose of this study is to…

The confusion between an EdD or PhD, the two terminal degrees in education, remains as current as it was at the beginning of the degrees' existence. The common belief is that the EdD is practitioner-oriented and the PhD research-oriented. The aim of present research is to clarify the confusion by conducting a corpus analysis of the aboutness of…

The transition from doctoral student to higher education faculty member provides a unique set of challenges. Individuals attempt to balance research, service, and teaching requirements while also experiencing changes in their personal lives, such as geographical relocation. Peer-mentoring of early-career faculty may be used to support this…

In this article we present two narratives that have generated pedagogical insights into our identities in becoming researchers. We are concerned with the interaction of the self-as-researcher in a context, over time, with others who also have an expressed commitment to the educational world. Our commitment to better understanding educational…

This article explores a form of classroom inquiry linked to postgraduate primary student-teachers' education, whilst on practicum in England. The inquiry model is congruent with Stenhouse's' notions of 'teachers as researchers' undertaking 'systematic' inquiry in a 'naturalistic' environment. Feldman further develops Stenhouse's conception into a…

Research shows that when students engage with mathematical inquiry their problem-solving skills are strengthened. Demands in the revised Australian curriculum raised problem-solving of new senior secondary mathematics assessment, specifically in Queensland Problem-solving and Modelling Tasks (PSMTs). The challenge for Queensland was to scale…

This work engages with Karen Barad's philosophy and theory of agential realism through research practices of critical autoethnography and arts-based methods. The work explores how knowledge, memory, language, and experience remain alive within practitioners and inform who we become and how we inherit the stories involved in being educators and…
