Background & Context: Intersectionality theory posits that each individual's unique intersection of identity is integral to understanding their lived experience. Intersectionality theory also understands that social positions interact with oppression to influence an individual's lived experience (Bowleg, 2012; Collins, 2007; Crenshaw, 1989).…

Current visions of science education advocate that students should engage with science in the classroom in ways that mirror the work of scientists in order to develop science proficiency. For this goal, teachers are tasked with the complex responsibility of supporting students in understanding not only the conceptual knowledge of science, but also…

The authors sought to test the fit of a new model of spirituality in music education by examining one jamming session through a hermeneutic phenomenological lens. In accordance with the work of Van der Merwe and Habron, the authors employ four lifeworld existentials as categories by which to organize the experience of the five musicians involved…

Despite the recent theoretical and empirical interest in understanding teachers' motivation to conduct research, there is an absence of an appropriate quantitative instrument to measure it. Thus, drawing on an argument-based approach to validation, Deemer, Martens, and Buboltz's (2010) Research Motivation Scale (RMS) was adapted and a network of…

This paper describes my practitioner inquiry as a newly qualified teacher, initially used as a form of teacher learning, but ultimately became the reason I remained in the physical education (PE) teaching profession. In Scotland, early-career PE teachers are encouraged to embody the role of teacher-researcher and pursue Career-Long Professional…

Researcher-practitioner collaborations often stop short of engaging researchers and teachers in collectively negotiating the moment-to-moment improvizational decision-making of instructional practice when students are present. We consider the potential for learning at one boundary that often exists between researchers and practitioners as they…

With current constraints of public funding of research the question of principal investigator (PI) success has gained prominence. Yet understanding grant success remains problematic. While often associated with peer acceptance of the proposal text, research fundability in large part is informed by PI participation in the social systems of research…

Problems framed as societal challenges have provided fresh impetus for transdisciplinary research. In response, funders have started programmes aimed at increasing transdisciplinary research capacity. However, current programme evaluations do not adequately measure the skills and characteristics of individuals and collectives doing this research.…

Despite profuse research on the matter, the widely acknowledged gap between educational research and teaching/learning practices suggests that considering the cultural cannons of participants under research remains an issue -among others- when addressing the legitimization of knowledge production in Comparative, International, Developing,…

This article reflects on the effect of gatekeepers, guides and ghosts on gaining access to research participants and field sites. Using a critically reflective approach, we examine our role as researchers and the roles of intermediaries in the process to access schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings show how gaining access is a…

The article contributes to the emerging literature on the intersection of academic mobility and precarity by examining the impact of the 2016 Brexit referendum result on the mobility and immobility projects of migrant academics on temporary contracts. We draw on 22 interviews conducted with early-career researchers in the UK and Switzerland. We…

Replication is a research methodology designed to verify, consolidate, and generalize knowledge and understanding within empirical fields of study. In second language studies, however, reviews share widespread concern about the infrequency of replication. A common but speculative explanation for this situation is that replication studies are not…

Since the normalization of the Basque language in the 1980s, this minority and co-official language of the Basque Autonomous Community has been increasingly present in the academic sphere. Universities and other public institutions have made a significant effort to ensure that this language coexists with Spanish, the majority language, and English…

This paper investigates how East-West cross-cultural collaboration affects team research impact. A dataset of international collaboration articles of Chinese scholars was constructed, and then the cultural background of each researcher was traced with a surname and culture category matching process and a manual search process. Empirical analysis…

Purpose: Studies have shown that research is a global innovation's "engine room." Therefore, young adult-built environment researchers (YABER), especially in developing countries, need research upskilling and reskilling training for better-integrated outcomes. Evidence shows that research training can improve YABER competencies and…
