Teacher shortages in schools are a global issue. One solution to this problem, offered in Australian policy, is the notion of the career change teacher (White et al., 2024). Our article outlines a mixed-methods research protocol designed to develop and refine initial design principles for initial teacher education (ITE) programs that specifically…

Students exposed to school violence are at risk for adverse short- and long-term impacts on physical and psychological well-being. Behavioral threat assessment (BTA) is a strategy used to identify, assess, and manage student threats to mitigate the risk of violence. However, anecdotal BTA cases have highlighted how BTA processes can negatively…

The PeeR Investigators Mentoring Experiences in Research (PRIMER) program was developed to enhance mentorship and support in Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) at our institution. This program leverages PRIMER's prior research experience in computational biology courses to mentor students in our bioinformatics-focused CUREs.…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are an effective strategy to teach students about the process of scientific research. Students participating in a CURE also benefit in numerous other ways, such as gaining increased enthusiasm for science and increased retention in a STEM field. Because scientific research is increasingly…

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, online interviews have become a cheap and practical way to collect research data with no need to travel, from the comfort of your office or home. In 2023, we interviewed online 15 academics working in initial teacher education using an unstructured interview approach, without a schedule of interview questions or…

This paper reflects on a set of exploratory feminist research practices used by a cross-disciplinary group of adult education practitioners and academic researchers in a recent project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in the United Kingdom (UK). The authors, one of whom is a paid home care worker, consider if caring,…

This study responds to an imperative for increased support and recognition of mentor teachers within Australian initial teacher education (ITE) programs in response to recent reviews highlighting mentor teachers' critical role in preparing "classroom-ready" graduate teachers. By addressing the recurrent challenges faced by mentor…

In recent years, there has been active discussion regarding the potential role of mathematics education research in informing teaching practice. As both a holder of a Ph.D. who continues to publish research in international journals, and a practising secondary school teacher with ten years of classroom experience, I propose in this essay a…

This article uses fieldnotes along with student and practitioner feedback to recount the challenges, benefits, and broader learnings of engaging master's students in a participatory research seminar. The students developed research proposals about a real-world socioeconomic challenge with and for local practitioners. Proposals were consistent with…

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,…

Purpose: The study aims to understand what learning is evidenced regarding knowledge about the teaching of mathematics by five primary teachers when they reflect on research lessons. To do so, we used situations from the formal and informal reflection sessions that took place after teaching four research lessons. Design/methodology/approach: It is…

Funders are increasingly requiring international collaboration for research projects and such projects add to the reputation, rankings and research gravitas of institutions and individual researchers alike. The power asymmetries in global knowledge production means that international research collaboration comes with a range of taken-for-granted…

Research conducted by Universities of Applied Sciences (UASs) is frequently driven by professional practice where researchers are challenged with finding solutions to real-life problems. These real-life solutions are significantly enhanced by the participation of stakeholders. Through this inclusion and the resulting interactions, activities, and…

For several decades, digital formative assessment tools and platforms have been promoted as promising for supporting adaptive teaching. For learning goals such as procedural fluency, this promise has been held across a range of subject-matter topics. For conceptual learning goals, however, the available digital formative assessment tools are much…

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…
