While there exists an extensive body of literature on Early Career Researchers (ECRs), there has been a notable lack of focus on the hurdles encountered by ECRs in social sciences at local universities when it comes to academic publishing. This study addresses this gap by conducting in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 15 Chinese university…

This bibliometric study aims to identify the most widely used educational practices in this field between 2014 and 2024, exploring their applications within a constantly evolving technological context.…

This study offers a bibliometric overview of the English language assessment research from 1992 to 2024. It aims to uncover the current state, research trends, and future directions of the field. A total of 927 articles published in Web of Science (WoS) were analyzed using the VOSviewer bibliometric software tool. Based on the sample of 927…

Background/purpose: Neurodiversity, including ASD, ADHD, and dyslexia, has a powerful impact on the learning processes and interaction with education.

'Literacy' and 'science' are power words and the interaction between them is of potential interest to people working at other boundaries between text and content, such as that characterising wider disciplinary literacy. 'Scientific literacy' has a deep enough literature base to support an attempt to build a model of these interactions. If robust,…

Significant research in science and mathematics education should advance the field's knowledge and understanding of the teaching and learning of science and mathematics. How, then, should the significance of a research question in science and mathematics education be assessed? And, when disseminating the findings of research, how should the…

As the low-consensus field of higher education grows, it negotiates constraints and possibilities in the topics engaged and the scholars included. To trace the shifting patterns of research topics in higher education studies during the past 20 years, we examined networks of the topical structures of ASHE conference papers and a subset of U.S.…

The "Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education" ("CJSMTE") is celebrating its 20 years in 2020.
