This study conducted a thorough bibliometric analysis for the knowledge domain of IAIS research using…

International research collaboration is a way to facilitate original knowledge production, share research equipment, promote learning together and talent pooling at a cross-border level. However, it takes place in a hierarchical and unequal global research space. Conditioned by various structural factors, researchers actively exercise their agency…

There is a crisis of expectation in relation to educational technology. This is sometimes interpreted as a failure of academic researchers to disseminate their work to educational practitioners. However, another interpretation dwells on the lack of vision characterising such research. Because teachers often encounter research most intensely during…

Therefore, this paper used a quantitative survey to investigate Chinese scholars' perceptions…

This article about collaborative research approaches between professors at Chinese universities and teachers in public schools examines theory-practice relationships and the cooperative interactions that need to be developed between those producing theory and those living practice. The work is based on a 24-year New Basic Education (NBE)…

This edited volume illustrates the idea of a successful research capacity model, critically addressing preconceived notions of early career research projects' impact and drawing together insights and implications around the encouragement of newer researchers to conduct useful, robust studies with real-world effect. Centring on research undertaken…

This article analyzes higher education research published in international higher education journals by researchers from China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Malaysia from 1980 to 2013.
