Intersectionality is a key framework for understanding complex experiences of inequality and discrimination in contemporary societies and specifically in educational contexts. This scoping review examines academic discourse on intersectional pedagogy from 2020 to 2024, following the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Using…

Background: Citation practices are fundamental to teaching scholarly writing. With the emergence of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, students need a structured way to cite when and how these technologies are used. Objective: This paper introduces an instructor resource, an AI Contribution Statement, which provides students…

Probes are follow-ups to survey questions used to gain insights on respondents' understanding of and responses to these questions. They are usually administered as open-ended questions, primarily in the context of questionnaire pretesting. Due to the decreased cost of data collection for open-ended questions in web surveys, researchers have argued…

In fall 2021, I interviewed 6 teachers about their experiences with lactation (pumping) in schools following the birth of a child. Participants recounted heartbreaking stories as the neopatriarchal norms of their institutions clashed against the unpredictable nature of the embodied labor of infant feeding. This pain, however, is an incomplete…

Background: Collaboration in early childhood services is essential for integrating interdisciplinary efforts to support child development. Despite its importance, research trends in this area remain fragmented and require systematic mapping. Aim: This study aims to analyse research trends on collaboration in early childhood services over the past…

Background/purpose: In this systematic and bibliometric review, we aim to document the approaches and methodologies used to evaluate the impact of educational programs in high schools. Focusing on the main components, such as teacher training, student support, and technology integration, the study explores the different evaluation methodologies,…

Conversation analysis (CA) has become increasingly prevalent in early childhood education research interested in exploring children's everyday interactions with others. Positioning CA as a creative methodology, this article demonstrates one practical and applied way of 'doing' CA research with early childhood teacher-practitioners that facilitates…

This paper offers a creative methodology for co-creating and analysing data when conducting research with children, families and practitioners in the early years. Instead of relying heavily on either adult observation or language when, for example, interviewing children, we propose the method of choreographed visual montage. We show the novelty…

In this paper, we report findings from a multiple case study that examined how instructors used shared data when teaching qualitative data analysis. More specifically, we explored both instructor and student experiences in two graduate-level qualitative methods courses located at U.S. universities. Drawing upon thematic analysis and the theory of…

Curricular battles within the United States are often simplified as ideological clashes between progressive and conservative forces. One notable example is the Harold Rugg textbook controversy of the 1930s. This case study discusses how historical-comparative case study methodology was used to evaluate the reliability of the popular narrative used…

Cell biology research methods and techniques is one of the training courses for graduate students before enter the laboratory in many universities. However, due to the limited time of experimental teaching while the teaching contents are increasing, choosing suitable teaching content has always been a challenge faced by experimental teaching.…

The unequal presence of women in scientific and technological fields compared to men may have its origins partly in the compulsory educational stages and performance of teachers involved therein. This study aims to systematically review the existing literature on science and technology teacher training to address the gender gap in STEM studies,…

This Technical Annex report sets out methodological and technical notes for the 2024 Technical Education Learner Survey. It accompanies two substantive reports -- 'Technical Education Learner Survey 2024: progression of the 2nd T Level cohort' and 'Technical Education Learner Survey 2024: progression of Level 4/5 learners'. The main body of the…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and apply machine learning methods that accommodate and leverage process heterogeneity when investigating mediation. We develop causal machine learning methods that relax assumptions of (indirect) effect homogeneity, accommodate high dimensional mediator sets, capture heterogeneous,…

Doctoral students and apprentices are much alike. Doctoral students are treated as junior academic scholars. They must follow and learn different knowledge and research skills from their senior academic scholars, mainly supervisors and other congenial faculty members within the department. During the process, reflectivity is one of their vital…
