The training of researchers in the development of educational competencies is the central issue of this study. The process for research training is described. Training researchers in the development of educational competences is advocated and a profile of research skills developed. Training for research is different from training for the teaching…

Mathematics education researchers (MERs) engage in interdisciplinary collaborations that contribute to the mathematics education discipline. MERs' learned forms of work and discourse, i.e., practices, are particular to their mathematics education discipline and might not align with practices needed to conduct interdisciplinary work. We interviewed…

The Black Church is the oldest anti-racist institution in America. Having educated generations of Black families, birthed schools, universities, hospitals, financial institutions, various music genres, and nurtured numerous advocates and martyrs for freedom, including access to literacy, it is directly responsible for many of the most significant…

Research shows that when students engage with mathematical inquiry their problem-solving skills are strengthened. Demands in the revised Australian curriculum raised problem-solving of new senior secondary mathematics assessment, specifically in Queensland Problem-solving and Modelling Tasks (PSMTs). The challenge for Queensland was to scale…

In this 2022 Organization of Educational Historians Presidential Address, Platt states that in the face of a world fettered by anti-intellectualism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and class disparity; as well as harmful state legislation that hampers academic freedom, heightens political disunion, and frustrates social justice; it is essential that…

While the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on the world economy, international research collaborations were disrupted by problems like hiring freezes, stopped lab and fieldwork, delayed research infrastructure, health effects, and restricted travel. This study aims to identify the most critical indicators with the highest…

The effectiveness of academic research enterprise depends on several factors including talented and interconnected scholars, adequate and dependable resources, and quality research. These elements need to function in harmony in order to result in research knowledge that adds value to society. Given that research capacity and innovation are…

Early career academics are crucial to the long-term vitality of teaching and research, and to the future of universities. They are the next generation of teaching staff, of cuttingedge innovation and research leadership, and are a valuable resource to be nurtured and developed. There is a pressing challenge for universities to create an…

Using neurodiversity as our theoretical framework, rather than a deficit or medical model, we analyze the narratives of five dyslexic research mathematicians to find common strengths and challenges for dyslexic thinkers at the highest level of mathematics. We report on 3 themes: (1) highly visual and intuitive ways of mathematical thinking; (2)…

Teaching resources and professional development based on mathematics education research have the potential to support teachers to develop and sustain improved pedagogies. The Queensland Department of Education provided online professional learning modules for teachers of Prep (Foundation) to Year 10 mathematics. To support implementation of the…

In this paper we reflect on our combined work in some of the most marginalised educational contexts in the Southern Hemisphere. We draw on the work of Bourdieu to frame the paper. We propose the working in marginalised education settings requires a particular habitus or way of being to be able to play the research game. Underpinning our approach…

We interrogate the opportunities and challenges of using mixed methods (MM) within a developmental evaluation (DE) context by drawing on two illustrative cases that investigated educational change in Canada. Methods: Multi-case design and cross-case analysis, with a focus on examining common patterns across the two cases, enabling new ways of…

In efforts to provide effective support in STEM education in general and to help school teachers and leaders to consider STEM approaches and carry them out effectively, the perceptions of researchers active in STEM education or initiatives regarding STEM are significant. Despite many efforts to disseminate and implement STEM education, little…

Given the rapid growth of research-practices partnerships (RPPs), we need a framework that helps the field understand how RPPs can facilitate mutual learning for those involved. Drawing on both cultural-historical and organizational learning theories, we argue that learning can happen in RPPs for both researchers and practitioners at the…

Research-practice partnerships have become increasingly popular for promoting evidence use, and this is similar to how evaluators partner with practitioners. Researchers and evaluators working in partnership with practitioners participated in a survey measuring evidence use, research rigor and relevance, and interpersonal factors (e.g.,…
