This article examines the concept and role of cosmopolitanism in studies that theorize cosmopolitan nationalism (CN) in educational policy. First, it articulates a spectrum of diverse views that can be held under the labels of cosmopolitan, nationalism, and patriotism. Next, it assesses how cosmopolitanism is invoked in educational policy studies…

Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses the science and engineering behind creating intelligent machines capable of tasks that typically rely on human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving. By analyzing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and making predictions that were once impossible, AI has…

In this essay, we explored the feasibility of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for qualitative data analysis in equity-focused research. Specifically, we compare thematic analyses of interview transcripts conducted by human coders with those performed by GPT-3 using a zero-shot chain-of-thought prompting strategy. Our results suggest that…

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and educational leadership has garnered significant attention in recent years due to advancements in knowledge technology and digital literacy. Despite growing interest from scholars and policymakers over the past decade, a comprehensive review of AI in the context of educational leadership and…

Generative AI tools (GenAI) are increasingly used for academic tasks, including qualitative data analysis for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). In our practice as academic developers, we are frequently asked for advice on whether this use for GenAI is reliable, valid, and ethical. Since this is a new field, we have not been able to…

Rating scales are ubiquitous in the social sciences, yet may present practical difficulties when response formats change over time or vary across surveys. To allow researchers to pool rating data across alternative question formats, the article provides a generalization of the ordered logit model that accommodates multiple scale formats in the…

Linking survey and social media data has gained popularity. However, obtaining consent from respondents to link social media is a known challenge. Using data from a nationally representative survey of the U.K. this study investigated whether respondents' a) activity frequency, b) activity variety and c) technical skills with smartphones are…

Research has documented numerous barriers to recruitment of marginalized individuals, including historic exploitation, distrust, and accessibility. Such challenges are commonly observed among racial minorities, unhoused individuals, and individuals with lower socioeconomic statuses. Public health researchers have led investigations on ways to…

Data mining has been successfully and widely utilized in educational information systems, and an important research field has been formed, which is educational data mining. Process mining inherits the characteristics of data mining which can not only use historical data in the system to analyze learning behavior and predict academic performance,…

Participation in citizen science, a research approach in which nonscientists take part in performing research, is a growing practice in schools. A main premise in school-based citizen science is that through their participation, students and teachers make meaningful contributions to the advancement of science. However, such initiatives may…

Evidence syntheses, such as systematic reviews, aim to summarise the current state of research in a field, often using the publication language of a study as a criterion for inclusion or exclusion. However, this has serious implications for capturing evidence from a wider range of geographical areas, and the potential for linguistic bias. In order…

Leadership assessment is analysed in 3 investigations: a) a quantitative study carried out with scientists (R&D), where a distinction between chief/leaders (units' director or chief) and subordinate members in academic units of research was made; b) 2 qualitative studies also carried out at the third-level: the first one with PhDs from 4…

This systematic review, conducted in accordance with PRISMA (2020) guidelines, analysed the consequences of gender stereotypes on language processing from 2012 to 2023. This review investigates the impact of stereotypical beliefs on the interpretation and understanding of language, including words, phrases, discourse, perceptions of professional…

This study presents a scientometric analysis of personalized learning research from 2020 to 2024. Using the Lens database, 4,463 scholarly articles were analyzed to identify key trends and patterns in this rapidly evolving field. The analysis revealed consistent publication growth over the 5 years, with journal articles dominating as the primary…

In this paper, I propose "A/autisms" as an organizing concept for considering the complex intersection of Autistic identity, autistic disability, and the contingency of the diagnosis "autism" in educational research. I draw from "Neuroqueer(ing) Noise"--my doctoral research-creation project in an integrated,…
