Information units (IUs) have been proposed as a way of grading students' notes. However, little work has been done to validate and check the reliability of such an approach. This study explores how teacher-researchers (TRs) use information units (IUs) to rate content items in students' listening notes using a rubric. Data were collected from six…

In Ireland as elsewhere, the value of putting evidence and scientific advice at the centre of public policy-making, has rarely been more evident. The prominence of the science-policy interface has renewed interest in the prospects for evidence based policy (EBP) in education. Notwithstanding the political rhetoric around EBP in education, little…

Background: Beliefs are a complex research construct with deep connections to innumerable different research areas and agendas. Engineering education researchers are increasingly studying beliefs, and synergy across these efforts can lead to a greater impact in translating beliefs research into educational practice. Purpose: Our purpose was to…

This research examines the role of input and process-based approaches in enhancing faculty members' commitment to their research careers in the context of higher education. Specifically, we investigate the mediating effect of research self-efficacy on the relationship between professional research network and commitment to research career, as well…

This article reports on the development of a research attitude in secondary education teachers who are conducting teacher research. We aimed to investigate the professional development of teachers who are conducting teacher research, focusing on the development of their research attitude. We operationalised the concept "research…

University-based scientific research has long been argued to be a central source of commercial innovation and economic growth. Yet at the same time, there have been long-held concerns that many university-based discoveries never realize their potential social benefits. Looking across universities, research and commercialization activities such as…

Instructors manage several tensions as they engage students in defining, conjecturing, and proving, including building on students' contributions while maintaining the integrity of certain mathematical norms. This paper presents a case study of a teacher-researcher who was particularly skilled in balancing these tensions in a laboratory setting.…

Based on focus groups with justice-involved youth in the United States, this case study considers researcher responsibility and ethics when engaging with vulnerable populations in research projects. Specifically, this case explores how trauma-informed research strategies work to empower these youth while supporting an iterative and reflexive…

Education researchers often encounter scenarios where an abrupt policy change occurs within or across jurisdictions or populations that affect key student outcomes. Difference-in-differences is a research design analysts can use to estimate causal effects of these "natural experiments." This article introduces education researchers to…

Research groups spend time and resources in the process of applying for funding. This issue raises important questions regarding inefficiency and whether the currently used funding mechanisms are adequate. This article aims to identify ways of reducing the inefficiency and the waste of resources when making research funding calls. We look at four…
