In recent years, online learning has received more attention than ever before. One of the most challenging aspects of online education is the students' assessment since academic integrity could be violated due to various cheating behaviors in online examinations. Although a considerable number of literature reviews exist about online learning,…

This study examines the special education studies on science education in the ERIC database. The main facts to be determined in the content analysis conducted in this study are as follows: subject types of special education studies in the field of science education, change of preferred studies according to years, main objectives, research methods,…

This paper uses Google Scholar citations to produce a novel ranking of journals in the fields of business and economic education. In doing so, we use the top 10 articles published in each of 38 business and economic education journals over the last 20 years, in addition to all articles published by journals in these fields over the past five…

The authors performed a scoping review using a five-stage methodological framework (Arksey & O'Malley, 2005; Levac et al., 2010) to map the nature and extent of the literature regarding universal design for learning (UDL) in deaf education contexts. UDL is a well-established framework that provides actionable recommendations for developing…

As institutions of higher education evolve and adapt to meet the increasing needs of their communities, faculty are faced with the choice of where and how to employ their time and expertise. To advance and encourage partnerships between institutions and their greater communities, academic reward structures must be designed in ways that support…

Higher education institutions adopt conversational agents, or chatbots, to perform and automate certain business functions. While chatbots exist to support Enrollment Services, Financial Aid, and other departments within an institution, Institutional Research lacks options. Institutional Research supports higher education institutions by providing…

Research and development spending by academic institutions totaled $89.9 billion in FY 2021, an increase of $3.4 billion (4.0%) from FY 2020 (table 1). R&D expenditures funded from federal sources accounted for $3.0 billion of the total increase. Federally funded R&D expenditures had not increased by $3 billion or more since FY 2011, when…

Currently the design standards for single case experimental designs (SCEDs) are based on validity considerations as prescribed by the What Works Clearinghouse. However, there is a need for design considerations such as power based on statistical analyses. We compute and derive power using computations for (AB)[superscript k] designs with multiple…

With the prevalence of missing data in social science research, it is necessary to use methods for handling missing data. One framework in which data with missing values can still be used for parameter estimation is the Bayesian framework. In this tutorial, different missing data mechanisms including Missing Completely at Random, Missing at…

Background: Meta-analysis refers to the statistical methods employed to combine results of several empirical studies in a topic of interest (Hedges & Olkin, 1985). Meta-analysis is often included in literature review studies to quantitatively analyze data from a collection of studies (Valentine et al., 2010). The statistical power of a…

Applied researchers faced with limited resources can utilize planned missing designs by incorporating missing data into their research design to collect more and higher quality data compared to a conventional experimental design. Two-method measurement planned missing designs (TMM-PMD) are a type of planned missing design whereby researchers…

The purpose of this article is to make visible collaborative pedagogical and research practices that opened space for community members to be co-educators and researchers with students and a professor on a youth violence assessment. We use Third Generation Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as a conceptual framework to examine the learning…

Education has been one of the areas most affected by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic since December 2019. This bibliometric review presents "the big picture" of the knowledge production on educational research conducted between January 1, 2020, and October 31, 2021. For this purpose, the current status of the related knowledge…

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in educators making a sudden shift to a largely online modality in teaching. For educators used to studio teaching, this change would require them to adapt their teaching approaches online and adopt new teaching approaches. Using the online videoconferencing tool (i.e., Zoom) for online interviews in real-time, a…

This case study details the experiences of two researchers at a large university in the UK, in carrying out a series of cognitive interviews with students, to examine their interpretations of and responses to items on an institution-wide questionnaire. Cognitive interviewing refers to a set of techniques used to assess the ways in which…
