In 2003, Bailey and Slater [A review of astronomy education research, Astron. Educ. Rev. 2, 20 (2003)] published a review of astronomy education research (AER) to survey the field, identify areas of robust coverage, and uncover gaps in the research to help guide future researchers. While our review is not intended as a direct comparison to their…

This Case Study is based on original research into the teaching and learning and wider needs of first-generation (or first-in-family) students studying at an elite U.K. university during the time of the online pivot engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic. It addresses the practical problems around conducting semistructured interviews online between…

Generative AI has undergone a radical transformation, becoming a revolutionary change as important as when the internet appeared. This systematic review explores the impact of AI in higher education, using the principles of Education 4.0 to guide the analysis as a framework. This research used the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic…

Early childhood educator co-researchers and a pedagogist-researcher think together about the processes of collaboration created with a pedagogical inquiry research project rooted in pandemic times. We detail our imperfect practices of creating digital methods of pedagogical dialogue that emerged in response to COVID-19 policies that bounded our…

Although there are empirical studies on the adaptation of fresh students in the country towards new life and conditions when they start university degrees and psychological processes following immigration, little is known about the adaptation problems of international students going abroad for university education. Similarly, scientific studies on…

School start regulations allocate children born immediately either side of a given date to different life paths: those slightly older starting school a full year earlier. School effectiveness literature exploits this to estimate causal effects described as 'the absolute effect of schooling' or 'the effect of an additional year's schooling', using…

Pedagogical research competence has recently become an essential educational outcome in future teacher training to conduct social and professional activities. The purpose of this study is to identify the state and means of development of research activity of future primary schoolteachers. A questionnaire survey of students at a pedagogical…

We offer ways that the inspection paradox can be usefully presented, even in the most elementary statistics courses, and provide guidance about how it can be revisited subsequently in the same course and in succeeding courses. Numerous situations in which the inspection paradox might occur are mentioned, and mathematically simple demonstrations…

Background: There is growing recognition in the education sector of the critical role empirical data plays in aiding strategic decision-making and supporting personalised learning. The call for increased and more nuanced data-driven decision-making has been primarily addressed by the institutional use of student learning dashboards and learner…

Work produced by community-engaged scholars often spans many genres from exhibitions to toolkits. Yet, our institutional structures often preassign value to deliverables produced from our community partnerships that align with academic genres, like the journal article or monograph. These structures can produce tension for the community scholar…

The frequency and richness of the theories developed, tested, and used by researchers in an academic discipline exemplify several pertinent factors, namely, the growth, the maturity, the independence, the legitimacy, and the influence of the discipline. Although organizations have been working on projects for centuries, Project Management (PM) is…

The purpose of this scoping review is to understand ways in which podcasting is used to communicate research findings and mobilize knowledge to a public audience. We address the use of podcasting as a broad research dissemination tool, as opposed to podcasting as a tool in formal education contexts. We summarize findings of individual studies,…

Penciling, a technique used to anonymize images for both human and machine vision, offers an opportunity to reduce technical traceability and retain visual data for online and social media research contexts. Drawing on methods for creating composite narrative and visual accounts to preserve participant anonymity, penciling enables researchers to…

The literature on entrepreneurial universities has grown exponentially over the past three decades. Concomitantly, the meanings attached to the terminology of entrepreneurial universities has proliferated, creating confusion amongst users. To fill this gap, an inductive analysis of entrepreneurial university conceptualisations from the term's…

In the interdisciplinary field of education, critical race theory (CRT) is the predominant framework for studying racism. However, some have argued CRT lacks a racial theory and that CRT-education scholarship should examine how education "racializes" (i.e. contributes to making racialized categories). In this theoretical article, I…
