This article seeks to bridge two educational concepts: the "Knowledge-Building Community" (KBC) and "Polyphonic Education" (PE), both of which address the contemporary challenges of constant change and complexity. First, it outlines a collaborative knowledge-building process within a professional community of teacher trainers.…

Using a qualitative, multiple cross-sectional research design, this study investigated the evolving perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and academic integrity between two cohorts of English as a Foreign Language learners (n = 48 and n = 96, respectively) enrolled in an English Language Preparatory Program at a Turkish…

This study applied Lambert's 3R framework (redistributive, recognitive, and representational justice) to explore the impact of social justice framing and open educational practices on undergraduate students' perceptions. Using a within-subjects design, 191 participants were exposed to four hypothetical course syllabi, each reflecting different…

The integration of immersive technologies, such as 360-degree virtual reality (VR) in education presents a promising avenue for enhancing teaching and learning. However, educators often face challenges due to limited technical expertise and resource constraints. This study examined the usability and readiness of educators in adopting the 360 VR…

While conflict event data sets are increasingly used in contemporary conflict research, important concerns persist regarding the quality of the collected data. Such concerns are not necessarily new. Yet, because the methodological debate and evidence on potential errors remains scattered across different subdisciplines of social sciences, there is…

Using a transdisciplinary approach, this paper shows how creativity studies and game design research can complement each other and open new research avenues. In order to study the role of creativity in game designers' practice, we first touch on the epistemological foundations of creativity studies and game design research. After presenting these…

The chemical enterprise is recognizing that inclusive and equitable environments are essential to its mission and advancement. As such, the education and training of chemists requires a reassessment of how academic programs integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a core principle of educational quality. This article describes a 3-year…

A significant body of the literature has documented the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) in education, but little is known about the effects of AR-supported instruction in tertiary-level Medical Education (ME). This quasi-experimental study compares a traditional instructional approach with supplementary online lecture materials using digital…

Purpose: Systematic review and meta-analysis are regarded as standard and valuable tools for providing an objective and reproducible synthesis of research findings in the literature. Their increasing popularity has led to heightened expectations for comprehensiveness and rigor in conducting scientific reviews and analyses. The purpose of this…

Support from caregivers is critical for children's learning both at home and at school. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and disruption of education systems globally created additional expectations for parents to support their children's learning at home. This particularly affected the most marginalized children as the crises exacerbated already…

This case study explores how Mary Quirke aimed to engage in Inclusionary Research for her doctoral research project and how her "Inclusion as Process" approach depended on and related to an "Ethics as Process" approach. The case study explains "Inclusion as Process" as an approach to research and discusses ethical…

An early care and education (ECE) coach's caseload might shape the way they coach. Caseload includes the number of programs, center or family child care (FCC) classrooms, and center teachers or FCC providers that an ECE coach works with. This brief describes findings from 2019 surveys of ECE coaches, center teachers, and FCC providers about coach…

This conceptual paper discusses two frameworks, developed independently by the lead author, that will provide the conceptual foundation for the identification and evaluation of mental computation strategies students demonstrate during an upcoming research project entitled Mental Computation in Year 5. These frameworks will be used by the lead…

With the advent of technology and digitization, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its tools for the imperative dissemination of information to learners are gaining more ground. During the process of the conveyance of lectures, it is mostly observed that students (learners) are supposed to take notes (minutes) of the…

Estimation of within-trial interactions in meta-analysis is crucial for reliable assessment of how treatment effects vary across participant subgroups. However, current methods have various limitations. Patients, clinicians and policy-makers need reliable estimates of treatment effects within specific covariate subgroups, on relative and absolute…
