Doctoral students' ability to understand, use, and build on theory in educational research is a critical aspect of their learning to be successful scholars. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of work that explores the voices of graduate students articulating their experiences as they learn about theory. Using Positioning Theory to frame their work,…

Background: Beliefs are a complex research construct with deep connections to innumerable different research areas and agendas. Engineering education researchers are increasingly studying beliefs, and synergy across these efforts can lead to a greater impact in translating beliefs research into educational practice. Purpose: Our purpose was to…

Purpose: This paper contends that data generated by research on supervision are often taken as authentic data. Through an examination of studies that use audio/visual recordings to investigate supervision, the paper both promotes and problematises the recording of supervision meetings as a useful technique for doctoral supervision research. This…

This review focuses on studies on students' views of inclusive education in the field of educational research. The studies reviewed in this study focused on research conducted in inclusive comprehensive schools. A total of 62 studies published between 2006 and 2022 were included, in which both qualitative and quantitative research methods were…

When a learner receives feedback, important motivational and emotional processes are triggered that control whether and how the learner reengages in a learning activity and successfully adjusts in response to what the feedback suggests. We aim to highlight how motivation and emotion processes influence feedback effectiveness, and how our…

Art education has a range of purposes. Art is said to support students to explore, interpret, ask critical questions, communicate and realise ideas, experiment, take risks, collaborate, tell stories and/or engage in social and political actions. In this paper, we consider whether educational researchers have the same capacious view of students'…

Properly designed feedback can be highly conducive to students' learning. Therefore, teacher education needs to equip future teachers with research-based knowledge of how to provide effective feedback. The present study reports the implementation and quasi-experimental evaluation (a pre-post control group design; N = 141) of a four-week…

This paper set out to contribute to mathematics education research by elaborating on a methodology developed during a study, trying to understand, view and follow shifts in prospective teachers' "discursive patterns." The methodology aims to illustrate and describe how prospective teachers adapt to the context of teaching through a…

Affect (e.g., beliefs, attitudes, emotions) plays a crucial role in mathematics learning, but reliance on verbal and written responses (from surveys, interviews, etc.) limits students' expression of their affective states. As a complement to existing methods that rely on verbal reports, we explore how graphing can be used to study affect during…

Purpose: This paper aims to exemplify how Chen's idea of "Asia as method" can be employed in a case study on Korean experiences of modern schooling. Design/Approach/Methods: It does so by focusing on the author's personal experiences of modern schooling as both a student and a teacher in modern Korea. In this description, the author…

Since Facebook announced itself as Meta, the metaverse has been popular with educationalists. However, scanty studies have bibliographically analyzed the use of the metaverse in education. This study complements the missing link in the literature by bibliometrically analyzing the research into the use of the metaverse in education using both…

Fostering students' competence in applying interdisciplinary knowledge to solve problems has been recognized as an important and challenging issue globally. This is why STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education has been emphasized at all levels in schools. Meanwhile, the use of robotics has played an important role in STEM…

Purpose: Universities assess and evaluate students concerning competence in essential disciplinary knowledge and skills. Those assessments impact learners' attitudes, beliefs, and emotions. Negative impacts may be overcome if students regulate their responses to assessment and feedback. Design/Approach/Methods: This article systematically locates…

Organic chemistry reaction mechanisms are central to the discipline of organic chemistry but challenging for students to learn and for instructors to teach. Due to the unique challenges surrounding the topic, reaction mechanisms have been the focal point of many studies within organic chemistry education research. This article provides a scoping…

In this collective essay the authors consider the nature and consequences of reading and researching across difference in an international and intergenerational team, whose core members are focused on understanding how curriculum operates and the nature of textbook representation of diversity in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau.…
