This study aims to estimate the latent interaction effect in the CLPM model through a two-step multiple imputation analysis. The estimation of within x within and between x within latent interaction under the CLPM model framework is compared between the one-step Bayesian LMS method and the two-step multiple imputation analysis through a simulation…

The thesis by publication is expanding across countries, institutions and disciplines, and so a more in-depth understanding of the format across contexts is warranted, to ensure that all stakeholders understand the implications of this format and implement it in a fair and transparent manner. This paper provides a cross-sectional analysis of…

Background: People with neurodevelopmental disabilities are frequently prescribed or administered psychotropic medication, particularly to manage behaviours of concern. Reducing inappropriate psychotropic use has been the target of international research and policy for several decades. Methods: Six electronic databases were searched for…

This paper begins by establishing the A+ Inquiry model as a theoretical lens for assessing needs related to program assessment workload by demonstrating its alignment with elements of five published frameworks associated with higher education assessment. Then, it uses the model as a frame of reference to explore faculty needs related to program…

The early childhood workforce in England has experienced periods of policy attention and more recently policy neglect. During the past two decades (2000--2022) the extent of interest in workforce policy has fluctuated with episodes of investment followed by phases of disinvestment. Throughout this period, early childhood educators have been…

This paper is concerned with the process of selecting between the increasingly popular bi-factor model and the second-order factor model in measurement research. It is indicated that in certain settings widely used in empirical studies, the second-order model is nested in the bi-factor model and obtained from the latter after imposing appropriate…

The role of ethics becomes even more significant given the huge advent and increase of cyber-criminal activities in cyberspace. It has become an urgent necessity to curb the menace of unethical practices in cyberspace and contribute ethical guidelines to a safe and secure digital environment. To minimize the growth of cybercrimes and unethical…

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…

One of the aims of clinical supervision is to ensure counselors meet the ethical obligations of the counseling profession, which include religious and spiritual (R/S) competence. To date, however, there has been no framework for the supervision of R/S competence in the research literature. We use an extension of the spiritually competent…

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses aggregate research findings across studies and populations, making them a valuable form of research evidence. Over the past decade, studies in medical education using these methods have increased by 630%. However, many manuscripts are not publication-ready due to inadequate planning and insufficient analyses.…

The advancement of artificial intelligence in education (AIED) has the potential to transform the educational landscape and influence the role of all involved stakeholders. In recent years, the applications of AIED have been gradually adopted to progress our understanding of students' learning and enhance learning performance and experience.…

This is the protocol for a Campbell evidence and gap map. The objectives are as follows: identify and map all existing primary studies, systematic reviews (published and unpublished), guidelines and policies on education during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a live, searchable and publicly available evidence and gap map.

This article proposes a pragmatic approach to data justice in education that draws upon Nancy Fraser's theory. The main argument is premised on the theoretical and practical superiority of a deontological framework for addressing algorithmic bias and harms, compared to ethical guidelines. The purpose of a deontological framework is to enable the…

Today, social media is gaining particular attention for providing users with multiple applications to connect with friends, family, and businesses. While most social media platforms can be beneficial, there are also risks. Educators, school psychologists and graduate students need to monitor how they present themselves to the public and how they…

A burgeoning literature, policy landscape, and set of practice resources and guidelines have emerged around ethical educational technology development and implementation, particularly in the context of data or artificial intelligence informed tools. However, while these resources provide valuable tools to support navigation of the ethical…
