In this article, the author will discuss processes used by quantitative researchers to render judgments and decisions about the results of their statistical analyses, highlighting what "'p'-values" represent and how "p"-values became ubiquitous in quantitative social science research. Suggestions for alternative ways to measure…

Open-science reforms, which aim to increase credibility and access of research, have the potential to benefit the research base in special education, as well as practice and policy informed by that research base. Awareness of open science is increasing among special education researchers. However, relatively few researchers in the field have…

Textbooks have been the primary teaching tool since the 19th century. By their nature, they contained a comprehensive compilation of the content of a particular subject with the intention of explaining it; this knowledge, in turn, was usually filtered to conform to a particular society's expectations of elementary knowledge about the natural and…

Besides being able to cause death, it turns out that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused problems in various sectors, including education, health, and Social Life. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic also has an impact on the field of research, including the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which has become an interesting issue in the era of the…

Scientific research is a human endeavour, performed by communities of people. Disproportionate focus on only some of the features related to this obvious fact has been used to discredit the reliability of scientific knowledge and to relativize its value when compared with knowledge stemming from other sources. This epistemic relativism is…

GAM, combining games and agent-based models, shows potential for investigating complex social phenomena. Games offer engaging environments generating insights into social dynamics, perceptions, and behaviours, while agent-based models support the analysis of complexity. Games and agent-based models share the important ability both to input and…

Globalization's in-depth development is profoundly affecting the real world with its penetrating power and wide scope. As the main means of global participation in higher education, internationalization is bound to be affected by today's global challenges. This dissertation reports the research designed to investigate the impact of current global…

Though qualitative research has become more prevalent in practice over the last 30 years, there is still considerable uncertainty among researchers regarding how to ensure inter-rater consistency when teams are tasked with coding qualitative data. In this article, we offer an explanation of a methodology our qualitative team used to achieve…

This scientometric review takes 351 documents from 1992-2021 as the research object based on the Web of Science database. With the help of CiteSpace, this study aims to construct visualization mapping knowledge domains, display the research status in shadow education more intuitively, contribute opportunities for further research, and provide a…

Authors of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) intended for the policy to serve a strategic role in improving California public schools' capacity to engage with education stakeholders. Early criticism of the policy's implementation highlighted districts' pro-forma approach to soliciting and responding to stakeholder feedback during the Local…

Background: Studying causal effects is an important aim in education. Causal relationships indicate how well implements (e.g., interventions) work for the target subjects. A good strategy to get the inference in such relationships is to conduct randomized experiments. However, random assignment is limited in education research, even is discouraged…

Undergraduate research is an important experience that increases retention, ownership, and learning. Integrating research experiences into the classroom is the focus of course-based undergraduate research education (CUREs) and has become an important tool in curricula of many universities. This article will serve as a guide for those interested in…

Recent interest in promoting replication efforts assumes that there is well-established methodological guidance for designing and implementing these studies. However, no such consensus exists in the methodology literature. This article addresses these challenges by describing design-based approaches for planning systematic replication studies. Our…

There are currently no databases dedicated to indexing the research literature for disability studies. To identify which databases have more robust indexing of the literature of this field, the author compiled a list of relevant journals and searched for them in databases either frequently recommended in libraries' disability studies research…
