This review aimed at portraying a nuanced picture of the trajectory of teacher well-being research during 54 years from 1968 to 2021. This review used descriptive quantitative analysis with a dataset of 774 journal articles. The developmental trend demonstrates a considerable change in the volume of publications conducted during the most recent…

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) follows a set of submission rules. Here we analyse whether the submission rules of the impact element arguably shaped the submission sizes of the submitting units -- a group of academics researching on a specific subject area in higher education providers -- to the REF in 2014. The number of impact case…

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…

Visualization and argumentation are central processes in the learning of geometry, giving rise to specific lines of research in mathematics education. However, it is worth asking whether they should be developed independently or if it is possible and in what way an articulation between them can be promoted. The objective of this paper is to search…

The status of women in academia, including comparative education, has grown rapidly. We build on the extensive literature on women's work in the academy by investigating the macrohistorical cultural processes that promote expanded emphasis on feminist, gender, sex, and sexuality (FGSS) topics in comparative education. We use computational methods…

Educational Design Research (EDR) employs a diverse range of methods to study learning, teaching, design, and technology--and new ones are shared in this special issue. We contend that a focus on methods inherently requires examination of the questions they are used to answer and the ways in which the resulting findings advance scientific…

The field of special education stems from the efforts of parents, adults and children with disabilities, invested policymakers, and other civil rights advocates within legal and policy forums. Yet, over time, as intervention- and scientific-based research within special education were moved to the forefront, the focus on how special education…

Despite a large amount of critical research literature, traditional examinations continue to be widely used in higher education. This article reviews recent literature in order to assess the role played by the approaches adopted by researchers in the gap between research on exams, and the way exams are used. Viviane Robinson's 'problem-based…

Hamdani et al. recently provided guidance for prospective authors on a wide range of issues encountered in quantitative research papers submitted for review at the "Journal of Management Education." Building on their insights, this essay focuses on experimental designs and provides more specific guidance and recommendations for…

The Tennessee State Department of Education (TDOE) was one of 21 states to be awarded a Preschool Development Birth-5 (PDG-5) federal planning grant in the Spring of 2023. This grant provided funding to support research on the current early child care & education (ECCE) system, conduct stakeholder engagement and experimentation to determine a…

Background: Service learning has been studied and applied in diverse educational settings for the past seven decades. While several research reviews have explored service learning from varied perspectives, none have employed bibliometric methods to investigate its evolution as a "knowledge base." Purpose: This review documents the…

The scope of homeschooling has increased significantly in recent years in several western countries. Studies of the subject have shed light on the perspective of parents who choose to homeschool--reasons for the choice, educational goals and actual results-- from their point of view. The research literature also teaches us about the perspectives…

Purpose: This study re-examines the relationship between "jiao" (lit. teaching) and "xue" (lit. learning)-- the foundational education concepts in the traditional Chinese cultural context--to enlighten our contemporary understandings of education and educational research. Design/Approach/Methods: This study first lays its…

Drawing inspiration from the sociocultural turn in language teacher cognition research, this conceptual article argues for the utilisation of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) as a theoretical framework for researching and understanding teacher cognition as a social phenomenon. In this article, three CHAT-related concepts, namely…

Student hazing activities on American college campuses have resulted in numerous deaths reported in the news media. Despite regular reports on hazing-related fatalities, no research has examined how these deaths are reported. The current study aims to bridge this research gap by analyzing articles covering hazing deaths in the U.S. between 1994…
