Hubbard, Katharine; O'Neill, Michael; Nattrass, Stuart – International Review of Education, 2021

Watermeyer, Richard; Derrick, Gemma Elizabeth; Borras Batalla, Mar – Research Evaluation, 2022
In aggressively neo-liberalized higher education systems and in 'high-performing' research units--typically academic schools in high-ranking research universities--research assessment has come to dominate the daily organization and enactment of research and research culture. So much so in fact that academics' research praxis, their employability,…

In this paper, we explore how diagram placement in mathematics textbooks influences (i) students' and teachers' perceptions of exposition quality and (ii) students' reading behaviour as indexed by their eye movements. Our findings contribute to research on the "spatial contiguity principle," which recommends that related educational…
