Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual frame for scholars who draws on the conflicting logics of the postpandemic university. Design/methodology/approach: This feature paper is based on a systematic review of research and studies conducted in the field of higher education. It illustrates broader trends with respect to how…

Assessment and feedback research constitutes its own 'silo' amidst the higher education research field. Theory has been cast as an important but absent aspect of higher education research. This may be a particular issue in empirical assessment research which often builds on the conceptualisation of assessment as objective measurement. So, how does…

Theory and practice in entrepreneurship education are still a subject of research. This paper proposes a simulation in which, based on the External Enablers of New Venture Creation approach, students can translate environmental changes generated by the unbalancing conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic into strategic entrepreneurial actions. The…

Teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and research behaviors are critical to both professional development and the quality of instruction. Thus, teachers are expected to accept and apply the research findings generated by educational researchers to solve a classroom, student, or instructional issue. This article aimed to determine teachers'…

This framework explores the plurality of ways that research-practice partnerships (RPPs) conceptualize issues of equity, and with what consequences for what gets studied, whose voices are included in inquiry, and what knowledge is foregrounded in partnership activity. We draw on institutional theory and the perspectives of members from diverse…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the perceptions of undergraduate students studying early childhood education who took an academic course in which transformative pedagogy is adopted as part of a holistic approach designed to create transformative change and strengthen the students' self-efficacy for sustainability, and thus, help reduce the…

Since the mainstream racial awakening to pervasive and entrenched structural racism, many organizations have made commitments and adopted practices to increase workplace diversity, inclusion, and equity and embed these commitments in their organizational missions. A question often arises about how these concepts apply to research. This paper…

Research-supported knowledge about how children develop language is considered foundational for high-quality instruction and as such, measuring and developing teachers' knowledge has been emphasized across the field of early childhood. However, there is a critical gap in understanding how this static knowledge gained through pre-service and…

This paper provides an analysis of a research-practice partnership's approach to supporting equitable K-5 science teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors highlight the strength of the partnership and the diverse methodological and theoretical approaches that allowed for timely and effective data collection and analysis in…

This laboratory exercise integrates chemistry and biology concepts to give third/fourth-year undergraduate students an opportunity to apply knowledge from different subject areas to address a real-world biomedical issue such as pathogen inhibition using composite materials. It involves the preparation of a bacteria-derived cellulosic biopolymer…

In all fields of chemistry, it has become essential to use quantum chemical calculations and machine learning for explaining and predicting chemical phenomena. However, it is challenging to apply textbook knowledge to practical research. In this study, we developed teaching material based on computational chemistry to promote the integration of…

Practitioner inquiry (PI) is a practitioner-based research method used to systematically and intentionally study and improve one's own professional practice. This research methods case study describes one teacher educator's experience using PI as a reflective research method to study her own facilitation of an action research project with a small…

This study aims to identify how mathematics teachers understand whole-class discussions and to know the influence of lesson study on the way they orchestrate these discussions. This is a qualitative study, conducted with two groups of middle school teachers. We analyze data concerning three teachers, Patrícia, Marta, and Diana, collected through…

In this article, I make a case for bridging what I see as the competing demands faced by teacher-scholars in higher education: our institutional orientations, our students' motivations, and our aspirations as scholars and educators. I contend that teaching about religion, broadly understood, regardless of theoretical and methodological orientation…

In this paper we investigate the practices and capacities that define successful societal interaction of research groups with stakeholders in mutually beneficial processes. We studied the Finnish Strategic Research Council's (SRC) first funded projects through a dynamic governance lens. The aim of the paper is to explore how the societal…
