This scoping review aims to provide an overview of how multimodal learning analytics has been applied in K-8 research and offers methodological insights and recommendations to bridge the gap between theory and practice. We identified 14 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2011 and 2023 through searches in relevant databases and…

This case study is derived from a systematic literature review (SLR) examining the efficacy of flipped learning in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) within higher education. It explores the methodological rigor of synthesizing qualitative and quantitative research findings to evaluate educational pedagogies. Central to this case study…

Many qualitative researchers have incorporated poetry in qualitative research to analyze data and present findings. Found poetry, poetic transcription, and data poems are well-known poetic methods in qualitative data analysis that scholars have adopted to analyze data and artistically represent findings. The research project that this case is…

Within educational research, there is a growing interest in using neuroscience methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs) to probe neural mechanisms underlying students' learning and development, in natural, school-based settings. The results of these studies are beginning to appear in educational,…

This Case Study provides an understanding of the ways in which intersectional feminist research can be carried out despite the complexities of sensitive data and a precarious landscape. The term "sensitive data" captures the taboo nature and cultural hesitance surrounding women's bodies and the practice of female genital cutting.…

This chapter uses critical perspectives on whiteness to critique higher education's institutional research practice. After briefly describing institutional research, we summarize scholarship about autonomy, ethics, and predictive analytics to illustrate how existing guidance and beliefs about institutional research often dehumanize students by…

There have been debates about the quality and usefulness of education research for a long time, with opinion often dividing along methodological lines. Those on different sides of an apparent methodological schism often bemoan the lack of recognition and resources afforded to their chosen approach. Whatever one's position on the existence, or…

Productive struggle (PS) has emerged as a critical construct in mathematics education, emphasizing the importance of persistence, cognitive engagement, and conceptual understanding in problem-solving. However, inconsistencies in its conceptual and operational definitions have hindered its effective implementation and assessment. This study…

The purpose of this review is to present what we know about paternalistic leadership (PL) in education. Systematic content analysis was adopted to identify the manifest and latent information across 29 identified empirical studies obtained through the core educational leadership and management journals and the two databases, Education Resources…

This research brief describes key takeaways for researchers from a rigorous evaluation of Single Stop, a college basic needs intervention. The study team faced challenges with student take-up of Single Stop services such as application support, tax services, and case management in a randomized control trial of Single Stop that was conducted across…

This brief provides guidance to researchers on opportunities to strengthen implementation and student take-up in rigorous studies of college student support interventions. Researchers describe four lessons learned from "Connecting Students to Basic Needs Support: An Evaluation of Single Stop Across Ten Colleges," a RAND study of a…

Debates around the Science of Reading have often been couched in consideration of research scholarship. However, before a meaningful dialogue centered on empirical evidence can fruitfully take place, there must be some clarity around shared literacy values, and around how those values might be addressed through instruction. Drawing on…

Epistemologies are understood as ways of knowing that stem from an individual's ontological orientation. Such orientations are intimately tied to personal experiences that educational scholar Gloria LadsonBillings (2001) argued create "systems of knowing" based on majority-normative epistemological stances. In this manuscript, we were…

Design-based research is a methodological approach that has been applied in the field of educational technology since the beginning of this century. The main aim of this article was to explore its use in the field of educational research, specifically in the context of higher education during the 5-year period from 2019 to 2023, coinciding with…

This article presents a systematic literature review of Bhabha's Third Space theory in empirical research focussing on children (aged 4-12 years) in multicultural educational institutions. Communities around the world are becoming ever more diverse and, within educational policy, there is a resultant paradox between increasing diversity on the one…
