This case details a narrative inquiry into the experiences of early career researcher pathways. I conducted conversations with eight early career researchers from three different continents to collect the data for the study. During the study I developed and applied to my data a novel jigsaw analytical process. That process exposes tensions within…

In this case study, I provide the methodologic approaches I used to investigate four in-service biology teachers' perspectives when using science instruction to address racial stereotypes within secondary science education. This case study provides practical advice for novice qualitative researchers who wish to conduct and design an intervention…

Individuals with multiple disabilities are among the most challenging to serve and AAC teams often lack direction in determining effective interventions. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the research evidence on AAC interventions for individuals with complex communication needs and simultaneous motor, and visual impairments as…

Purpose: Caregiver-mediated communication intervention outcomes are inconsistently measured, varying by assessment settings, materials, and activities. Standardized materials are often used for measuring outcomes, yet it remains unknown whether such standardized contexts equitably capture caregiver and child intervention outcomes representative of…

Science process skills (SPS) are considered essential for scientific and technological eras nowadays. This study aims to provide information on how SPS in Indonesia have been researched from 2016 to 2022, including the number of studies conducted, research designs used, frequently addressed science topics, interventions, assessment instruments…

Researching daily activities of young children poses methodological challenges that necessitate diverse approaches for effective inquiry. This method article introduces a new digital participatory research method -- Living Journals -- to study young children's everyday digital media practices at home in Azerbaijan. Employing this method, mothers…

The Nuremberg Code established ethics for the involvement of humans in research, initially in the area of health and medical research. While aspects of the code have been extended to the social and behavioral sciences, program evaluation does not always implement those policies, procedures, and protocols for protecting research participants,…

Educational research enquiries differ based on philosophical beliefs and assumptions regarding researchers' explicitly stated views. This paper critically explores the most dominant philosophical stances in social research sciences, namely positivism, interpretivism and pragmatism. It begins with an overview of the role of the aforementioned…

By design, randomized experiments (XPs) rule out bias from confounded selection of participants into conditions. Quasi-experiments (QEs) are often considered second-best because they do not share this benefit. However, when results from XPs are used to generalize causal impacts, the benefit from unconfounded selection into conditions may be offset…

Manipulation checks are an essential component of quality experimental design in motor learning. Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses framework, this methodological systematic review examined the utilization of manipulation checks in focus of attention research. Seventy-eight protocols from four…

Comics-based /arts-based research is increasingly employed in anthropology and other social science disciplines. As part of my ongoing doctoral research on the experiences of young adults with learning disabilities in India, I have engaged in researcher-produced drawings/comics to depict my fieldwork findings. In this paper, I present three…

This paper highlights the importance of considering both researcher and participant contexts when exploring everyday educational lives. It emerges during a period of increasing and sustained social inequality in England, and against a backdrop of increasingly tight research timeframes and resources in higher education. Drawing on a project…

In general, quantitative data (numerical and measurable) and qualitative data (descriptive and subjective) in higher education institutions represent quality and finally result in the quality of the higher education institutions. This research paper is focusing on the overall theory values of quantitative data in terms of qualitative outcomes. In…

Due to recent pedagogical developments, colleges and universities have offered instructional modes in classrooms that diverged from the traditional in-person classroom model. One example was the flipped (or inverted) pedagogical model. We set out to investigate if the student experiences and outcomes were similar or different between flipped and…

This case study delves into the intricacies of internationalization in higher education through the lens of phenomenology and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Based on original research with 30 international students and staff across three UK institutions, the study reveals the hidden dimensions of xeno-racism, angelism, and ethical…
