Evaluation in Design education is subjective and generally depends upon the pedagogues' personal perspective. Conducting subjective evaluation on a large scale is associated with multiple challenges; therefore, digitized evaluation is integral to maintain consistency in the evaluation process. This systematic literature review utilized SCOPUS, Web…

Quantile regression (QR) provides an alternative to linear regression (LR) that allows for the estimation of relationships across the distribution of an outcome. However, as highlighted in recent research on the motherhood penalty across the wage distribution, different procedures for conditional and unconditional quantile regression (CQR, UQR)…

It is now half a century since Joey explained to Paul Willis: 'Vandalising […] that's the opposite of boredom -- excitement, defying the law', one of many similar comments subsequently recorded in "Learning to Labour" (34). The book rapidly became an academic best-seller, and has since become an academic 'national treasure'. But, before…

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is known for its capacity to reveal ideology reproduced through discourse, but when applied to educational research, its focus on mere language constrains its utility for understanding and improving social reality. In this paper, through the example of a textbook study, we explore how CDA can be strengthened by…

This paper will explore the dichotomy of direction and stimulus through a reflection on arts-based methods used in a research study into post-industrial communities in South Wales and consider whether in participatory processes, a catalyst for artistic creativity could become construed as researcher-led control over the activities. Through an…

The circumplex model posits a circular representation of affect and some personality traits. There is an increasing need to examine the viability of the circumplex model with multivariate time series data collected on the same individuals due to the development of new data collection methods such as smartphone applications and wearable sensors.…

Progress in understanding students' development of psychological literacy is critical. However, generative AI represents an emerging threat to higher education which may dramatically impact on student learning and how this learning transfers to their practice. This research investigated whether ChatGPT responded in ways that demonstrated…

Purpose: This systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis examines the accuracy of sentence repetition (SR) tasks in distinguishing between typically developing (TD) children and children with developmental language disorder (DLD). It explores variation in the way that SR tasks are administered and/or evaluated and examines whether variability…

Differences in effect sizes between researcher developed (RD) and independently developed (ID) outcome measures are widely documented but poorly understood in education research. We conduct a meta-analysis using item-level outcome data to test potential mechanisms that explain differences in effects by RD or ID outcome type. Our analysis of 45…

Background: A systematic review is a secondary research method that follows a predetermined protocol to identify, synthesize, and assess the quality of primary studies that meet pre-established eligibility criteria to answer a specific research question (Higgins & Green, 2011; Higgins & Thomas, 2019). It uses systematic and transparent…

Evaluators widely agree that the involvement of key actors is a central aspect of quality practice. However, a scoping review of to what extent and how youth are included has not been explored. This is an important omission because many evaluations are done on programs that directly serve youth. We examined 159 evaluation reports in a publicly…

This case study reflects upon practices of community-engaged scholarship and teaching as autoethnography research rooted in Indigenous educational sovereignty and decolonization. In this case study, readers are invited to contemplate how their positionalities, and practices in their respective fields, could be framed into active research. Readers…

This book considers the generative tension between the materiality and virtuality of walking methodologies in a/r/tography and arts-based educational research. It explores the materiality of practice--manifestations, manipulations, residues, and traces of both real and imagined experiences and events. Authors present artistic representations,…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate and discuss the application of mindfulness practices rooted in Buddhism as the methodological praxis in implementing participatory action research (PAR) projects with older Thai adults. Design/methodology/approach: The paper draws on the researchers' reflexive accounts of participatory action…

This article aims to problematize knowledge production as merely an academic researcher endeavour by investigating how research can invite preschool-aged children to activate knowledge "in situ." Informed by Isabelle Stengers' theoretical framework, we developed the research methodology of Research prACTivisms through three propositions:…
