The ability to analyze large data sets ("Big Data") is an increasingly important skill in modern science. In Biochemistry, the increased volume and velocity of data is particularly evident in the rapid expansion of biological databases. We present a modular bioinformatics course to survey the analysis of genomic data for advanced…

The terms giftedness and genius entered the research literature in the 19th century. Although not synonymous, both terms were defined according to potential or actual achievement in a specific domain. However, in the early 20th century, both terms became defined according to performance on domain-generic IQ tests. Given the empirical relations…

Problem posing research in mathematics education has increased in the last decade. As a result, the intent of the present study is to examine and summarize the research that has been conducted. Specifically, we examined articles published from 2011-2020 that studied the impact of problem-posing instruction on students' problem-solving abilities.…

While higher education scholars have become progressively more interested in employing critical approaches within quantitative research, there is a significant need to improve our understanding about the dissemination and publication of such work. Drawing from a systematic scoping review of 15 years of published higher education literature that…

Fifteen bibliometric research studies were published between 1979-2019 on articles published in journals focusing on higher education and student affairs. This study used the data science tool Altmetric Explorer for Institutions to answer research questions and complete article-level analyses on research impacts, subject area patterns of research…

This article highlights the current state of "what we know we do not know" about student leadership development and suggests specific research agendas and program assessment methods. This article includes the practical description of how rigorous methods could be used to address these issues using examples for both researchers and…

This paper emerges from a seven-year, ongoing relational poetics between two poets and their former secondary English teacher. Organized by the world's urgencies, the three authors have studied the force of poetry throughout incidences of violence against Black lives close to home and across the United States. This practice began in the classroom…

In this study, I explore a time when I collaborated on an education-focused research project, which failed. I articulate my experience of failure as a positive means for improving collaborative research practice. I achieve this by repositioning the critiquing of failure through an auto-ethnographical account, integrating an adapted version of the…

In recent years, adult education program closures have led to a historically low presence for adult education in U.S. research institutions. For a research-to-practice field, the implications of this are considerable. One reason for this development is the field's abandonment of what McIntyre calls the scientific attitude: a commitment to evidence…

Changes in digital landscapes have complex effects on the meaning-making that they mediate (Thorne et al., 2015). There is a growing interest in examining the daily digital literacy practices of today's multilingual young adults and adolescents, who are going to become the generation of future global communicators (Kim, 2016). Addressing current…

Augmented reality is a technology used in almost every stage of our daily life. It has become widespread in several fields such as engineering, healthcare, advertising, defense industry, and entertainment. The use of augmented reality technology that combines virtual and real environments is increasing every day. Augmented reality technology,…

Background: Within learning disability research, it is important to involve people with learning disabilities at all stages, but there are limited opportunities for them to learn about the research process or to gain research skills. Method: An eight-session research training course for people with learning disabilities was developed and piloted…

Science has greatly enhanced what we know about reading and writing. Drawing on this knowledge, researchers have proffered recommendations for how to teach these two literacy skills. Although such recommendations are aimed at closing the gap between research and practice, they often fail to take into account the reciprocal relation that exists…

Young offenders' perceptions of their educational experiences are little researched not least because of methodological and ethical challenges. These include being difficult to access, questions on their reliability as interviewees and their 'doubly vulnerable' position, due to the secure locked context and their age. This article draws on…

As the education and workforce development community looks more and more to CTE to help ensure students are both college and career ready, understanding and using CTE data and research becomes increasingly important. This is the first in a series of six practitioner training modules developed as part of the Career & Technical Education (CTE)…
