While skin color is relevant and important in the Latinx community, as it is associated with colorism, little is known about how often it is measured or the best way to measure it. This article presents results from two studies examining these key concerns in three prominent journals, where Latinx research is typically published (i.e., the…

Sentiment analysis (SA) is widespread across all fields and has become one of the most active topics in education research, and there is a growing body of papers published. So far, however, there has been little discussion about comprehensive literature reviews in SA in education. Therefore, this study aims to review the high-qualified scientific…

Differentiated instruction is an important teaching approach that adapts educational experiences to fit the varied needs and learning styles of students in the classroom. This study examines the trend of research on differentiated instruction, using a bibliometric analysis to understand the current state of research in this area. The analysis was…

This practice report argues that, in a higher education system where publication is a key performance metric, existing resources, such as textbooks, can be used and modified to make engaging and valuable professional development resources for researcher/educators -- both students and academics. The report outlines a series of writing workshops…
