This case study utilizes 's narrative inquiry framework, Labov's narrative analysis, and indigenous methodologies to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on teaching and learning in Trinidad and Tobago. The research emphasizes the importance of employing culturally sensitive approaches to authentically represent Trinbagonian voices in…

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…

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…

Purpose: The study's purpose was to examine the faculty-driven organization's design and development that supports faculty research needs, track the emergence of the community of practice (CoP) and provide greater insight into continued organizational design iterations. Design/methodology/approach: In this longitudinal design case study, the…

Cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) appears to match the tenets of post-qualitative inquiry. However, post-qualitative inquiry is credited with being averse to method and to adopt post-modernist stances that are not consistent with CHAT's structured reading of social reality. Notwithstanding this, it is possible to propose an interpretation…

Research and Development (R&D) projects are inherently ambitious, complex, uncertain, and risky. On the one hand, they increasingly involve diversified groups of people and entities that gather around common goals, with different objectives for each one. On the other hand, science and technology policies promoted and implemented by public…

Students with concealable identities, those which are not always visually apparent, must navigate the difficult choice of whether to reveal their concealed identities--a choice that has been found to impact an individual's psychological well-being. Research that gives voice to those with concealable identities is highly lacking, and subsequently,…

Digital learning platforms (DLPs) can transform educational research by serving as infrastructure that bridges the gap between practice and research. This white paper examines the progress of DLPs in SEERNet, a multi-year initiative funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), which aims to advance research infrastructure. Through…

An increasingly complex and demanding research landscape has seen university libraries rapidly evolve their services. While research data management, bibliometrics, and research impact services have predominantly featured in the literature to date, the full scope of support libraries are currently providing to their institutions is unknown. This…
