Jeannette Pols; Amade M'charek; Sonja Jerak-Zuiderent; Jonna Brenninkmeijer – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2024
There are worries about the quality of scientific research, the validity of the knowledge it produces and the integrity of academics.

Anouk Zuurmond; Laurence Guérin; Piet van der Ploeg; Daan van Riet – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2024

Waslander, Sietske; Hooge, Edith H.; Theisens, Henno C. – Journal of Educational Change, 2023
This paper develops a new, broader, and more realistic lens to study (lacking) linkages between government policy and school practices. Drawing on recent work in organization theory, we advance notions on cluster of organization routines and the logic of complementarities underlying organizational change. This lens allows looking at how schools do…

Chris Percy; Tristram Hooley – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2024
Return on investment (ROI) has become part of the policymaking toolkit, particularly pertinent for activities like school-based career guidance deemed optional by some policymakers.

In the long history of the Catholic school in Europe, it has taken various forms, linked to local cultures and to the history, particularly religious but also political, of each state. While it is possible to account for this diversity, it is also important to highlight common features and challenges, such as secularisation and globalisation,…

This article investigates attitudes to societal impact of research as an entry point into understanding academic identities. Conceptually, we position academic identity at the intersection of global scientific fields and national science policies. We argue that the degree of alignment or misalignment between the two can create coherent academic…
