Students' active role is heavily emphasised in contemporary assessment research, policies and practices. Even then, students remain the objects of assessment in an era defined by accountability measures, testing and measurement: students are rarely heard on why, how and when assessment is conducted. In this way, assessment may hinder educational…

The current best evidence meta-analysis reanalyzed the data from a meta-analysis by Graham et al. (J Educ Psychol 115:1004-1027, 2023). This meta-analysis and the prior one examined if teaching writing improved the writing of students in Grades 6 to 12, examining effects from writing intervention studies employing experimental and…

Mathematical induction is a powerful method of proof, taught in most undergraduate programs involving mathematics and in secondary schools in some countries. It is also commonly known to be complex and difficult to comprehend. During the last five decades, mathematics education research has produced numerous studies on the learning and teaching of…

Although research scholarship offers valuable guidance to those hoping to use improvement science in their teaching and practice, it tends to center the perspectives of researchers and EdD program faculty. Less research has focused on the voices of practitioners who use improvement science in their schools and organizations. We draw on sensemaking…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are becoming integrated into the domains of teaching, learning, assessment and administration of educational institutions. While these advances are seen to provide opportunities, new concerns have arisen about the ethics of AI use. This has precipitated the publication of various AI ethics guidelines, however,…

Prior research has suggested that clustered regression discontinuity designs are a formidable alternative to cluster randomized designs because they provide targeted treatment assignment while maintaining a high-quality basis for inferences on local treatment effects. However, methods for the design and analysis of clustered regression…

There is increasing interest in research-based education in the Western World as it is assumed to strengthen school improvement capacity. Previous research shows that school principals play a pivotal role in realising such vision. The aim of this article is to explore the influence of principals on research-based education in their local municipal…

Drawing on decolonizing methods and relational-cultural theory, we argue for the importance of relationship building and collaboration in counselor education research. Based on our partnerships with refugees and migrants, survivors of interpersonal violence, and youth of color, we share concrete strategies for fostering relationships and…

This article provides clear and practical guidelines for researchers seeking to use national secondary datasets to conduct evidence-based research. Drawing from our own experiences, we discuss a six-step research process model (Bryan et al., 2010, 2017) to help researchers navigate the use of these datasets. We present examples from the school…

Student self-assessment has received considerable research interest. While several review articles have mapped self-assessment studies, there remains a need to synthesise the insights from field and the differing views and approaches within. In this critical meta-review, we conduct a discourse analysis of 28 earlier review studies concerning…

This study explores the development of research on creative thinking in education over the past ten years through a bibliometric analysis of 249 Scopus peer-reviewed articles. The findings indicate a significant increase in interest and number of publications. Innovative methods, such as problem-based and collaborative learning, were identified as…

Mathematical representation is one of the skills that students need to master because it can help them in various problem-solving tasks. This research is a literature review of articles related to mathematical representation in mathematics education. The articles are those published in journals indexed by Scopus from 2020 to 2024. The results of…

This study explored the contemporary trends and groundbreaking educational innovations to redefine quality learning practices in mathematics education. This employed a scoping review to systematically examine and integrate existing research on contemporary trends and educational innovations in mathematics education. Findings revealed two (2) main…

This study aims to synthesize teachers' assessment literacy (AL) reviews of past studies to find how AL is conceptualized, measured, and developed and formulate recommendations for further empirical studies. As AL is important for teachers to contribute to teaching and learning improvement, a growing body of teacher AL research has been…

Drawing upon the theories of transaction cost and agency theories, this study aims to understand how ethics construct is conceptualized in accounting research. To reveal the conceptualizations of the research community on ethics and morality in accounting research, articles with keywords "ethics" and "accounting" in their…
