The corona pandemic has had a significant impact on society and posed multiple challenges for national research systems to provide guidance to policy makers in the face of the rapidly changing global crisis situation. However, existing methods generally do not allow for an early and reliable assessment of how national research systems have reacted…

This article considers the multiple relations that emerge from and between Facebook commenters, as well as between commenters, researchers, and the research project during recruitment. To do so, we draw on our experiences of recruiting individuals who have concerns about or are opposed to a range of recent social and legal changes in…

This article takes up multimedia storytelling and interference as methods on the move in and beyond critical Autism studies and considers their contributions to post and qualitative studies in education. We write as a collective of Autistic and non-Autistic researchers, kin, artists, and educators. We think generatively about the tensions of…

This article presents the qualitative complement to Pizarro Milian and Zarifa's (2021) analysis of Canadian quantitative research on student transfer and mobility. Drawing on 75 qualitative peer-reviewed articles and institutional reports published between 1991 and 2022, we summarize the main findings and outline the data and methodological gaps…

Research teams are an important means by which knowledge is generated in Health Professions Education (HPE). Although funding agencies encourage the formation of interdisciplinary and interprofessional research teams, we know little about how our interdisciplinary and interprofessional research teams are functioning, nor how best to ensure their…

Practice-based research (PBR) has emerged as a valuable alternative to traditional scientific methods by generating knowledge through practice and enhancing the relevance of research to practitioners. However, knowledge about PBR has largely been developed within disciplinary silos, leading to its limited cross-disciplinary understanding. This…

Over the past decade there has been a striking increase in the number of quantitative studies examining the effects of social mobility, with almost all based on the diagonal reference model (DRM). We make four main contributions to this rapidly expanding literature. First, we show that under plausible values of mobility effects, the DRM will, in…

This paper is a philosophical piece relating to an issue in education theory: what is the epistemological nature of the product of education research and what are the consequences for the reporting of findings and conclusions in particular, what form of contribution to knowledge and/or understanding can emerge from education research? Education…

This systematic review examines the application of Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in educational technology research from 2013 to 2023. Following PRISMA guidelines, 57 studies were selected from Scopus and Web of Science databases. The review process involved rigorous screening, data extraction, and analysis using…

The recognition that researcher discretion coupled with unconscious biases and motivated reasoning sometimes leads to false findings ("p-hacking") led to the broad embrace of study preregistration and other open-science practices in experimental research. Paradoxically, the preregistration of quasi-experimental studies remains uncommon…

In recent years the notion of teachers as researchers in their own educational settings has become more prominent and encouraged in research literature. In the context of early childhood education (ECE), the participatory role of teachers is especially suited given its multidisciplinary and practice-based research space. This paper explores this…

Medical students must understand statistical reasoning and sample size selection to design and interpret clinical trials. Beyond achieving sufficient statistical power, ensuring meaningful precision in treatment effect estimates is equally important. We developed free, interactive Shiny/R tools that let learners explore how varying sample sizes…

The development of research methodology in any scientific field is closely tied to technological advancements that allow for deeper and more sophisticated data analysis. To help readers understanding the scope of current lexical availability research, this chapter provides a description of the tools and research resources specifically developed…

The research project assignment can create meaningful opportunities for students to apply sociological concepts. For grading these projects, assessment rubrics are useful pedagogical tools to evaluate students' abilities in achieving course learning objectives. In this study, I analyzed final research papers collected over multiple semesters in my…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the role of Linda Tuhiwai Smith's book "Decolonizing Methodologies" in our work as Indigenous scholars. Design/methodology/approach: This article explores the application of Indigenous-centered research methodologies as outlined by Linda Tuhiwai Smith in "Decolonizing…
