Pérez-Bracchiglione, Javier; Meza, Nicolás; Bangdiwala, Shrikant I.; Niño de Guzmán, Ena; Urrútia, Gerard; Bonfill, Xavier; Madrid, Eva – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Overlap of primary studies among systematic reviews (SRs) is one of the main methodological challenges when conducting overviews.

Fingerhut, Joelle; Xunyun, Xu; Moeyaert, Mariola – Grantee Submission, 2021
A variety of measures have been developed to quantify intervention effects for single-case experimental design studies. Within the family of non-overlap indices, the Tau-U measure is one of the most popular indices. There are several Tau-U variants, each one calculated differently. The appropriateness of each Tau-U variant depends upon the data…

Swaminathan, Raji; Mulvihill, Thalia M. – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2019
The purpose of this paper is to further examine 'place-reflexivity' as a methodological tool for engaging in site-seeing in qualitative research. Qualitative research often involves a site or field. Yet, the 'where' of qualitative research has often been overlooked in methodological discussions. This approach is akin to sightseeing where sites are…

I quickly adapted to using V-Note in research as it is easy to navigate, widely accessible, and most necessary features are included for free. Through this paper, I explore some possible applications of V-Note in education research. I…

In this article I examine the ways in which Black and Latina/o urban high school youth pressed me to reflexively examine my positionality and that of my research tools during a year-long ethnographic study documenting their communicative repertoires. I reflect on youth comments on my researcher tools, as well as myself, in order to wrestle with…

Paterson, Mark; Glass, Michael R. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2015
Google Glass was deployed in an Urban Studies field course to gather videographic data for team-based student research projects. We evaluate the potential for wearable computing technology such as Glass, in combination with other mobile computing devices, to enhance reflexive research skills, and videography in particular, during field research.…
