Research has highlighted the important role that the senses play in mathematics thinking and learning, particularly in the area of visualisation, but also in relation to physical movement. Recent scholarship suggests that sensory experiences are not limited to the five cardinal senses but involve a range of other specific senses as well as…

Despite the growth of the professional doctorate in education (EdD), its potential for capturing practice is restricted by academic tradition. In this hybrid paper, we argue that arts-based research (ABR) can help rectify this. We bookend the paper with creative non-fiction of our own EdD experiences, where ABR is restricted and afforded. We…

This paper aims to contribute to the advancement of methodological practice for phenomenographic research by introducing the notion of a "lens of awareness," as a device that can enable researchers to zoom into the detail of the research process (the parts of the whole) and out again to the related context of a phenomenographic study…

In this article, the author uses speculative essay to take up the metaphor of the blank canvas and critique it as part of a majoritarian narrative in educational research. To do this, the author applies the work of Sylvia Wynter (1992, 2003, 2020) and others on the creation of Knowledge and Man in terms of how canonical educational research…

The purpose of this Glossary of Terms is to help novice researchers in understanding basic research terminologies in educational research. It provides definitions of many of the terms used in the guidebooks to conducting qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods of research. The terms are arranged in alphabetical order.

The last decades have seen an enormous growth in published research and evaluations, which makes it difficult for a researcher to stay up-to-date in their own field, let alone complement their knowledge with insights from other fields. In this paper we give an elaborate overview of a methodology that aims to tackle this task. It builds on the…

To date, there have been four responses (Dumas & Edelsbrunner, "Educational Psychology Review," 35, 48, 2023; Grosz, "Educational Psychology Review," 35, 57, 2023; Mayer, "Educational Psychology Review," 35, 64, 2023; Zitzmann et al., "Educational Psychology Review," 35, 65, 2023) to the Brady et al.…

Considering the increasing importance of educational technologies and the debates about the role of technology in education, it is of great importance to reveal research trends in educational technologies. It is also possible to present the big picture of trends and the comparative role of the UK in this picture, which is one of the main countries…

The purpose of this exploratory study was to document aspects of research methodology in educational leadership directed at emerging school leaders and the academic community that supports them. The intricacy of educational challenges highlights the necessity for a thorough investigation, the results of which will inform suitable reforms. Scholars…

This article elucidates what narrative inquiry is as a research method, what questions or puzzles it addresses, the research tools used, and ethical considerations in conducting this type of research. Published exemplars are provided to reveal how narrative inquiries are utilized in real-life education studies. As a storied format of personal…

Meta-analysis methodology has evolved with the development of more robust statistical techniques; however, few reviews in special education have focused specifically on methodological rigor in meta-analyses. In this study, we examined 29 meta-analyses of mathematics interventions published from 2000 to 2022 to determine the extent to which…

This paper focuses on the nature of the legacy that Lawrence Stenhouse bequeathed in the field of curriculum development and research, particularly in relation to his idea of 'the teacher as researcher'. In the process, it explores the contemporary relevance of this legacy to those who are currently attempting to rethink and re-enact the…

This article uses meta-ethnography to identify the challenges of working in solidarity with the experiences and interests of marginalised and exploited social groups. It focuses on what the main challenges seem to be, and on how to overcome them in struggles to change education in just directions by means of educational research. It is therefore a…

Purpose: This article argues that the potential of the vast amount of research, published each year in the history of education, remains untapped. Given the rapidly growing number of academic publications in the field, there is a need for research that is based on articles, chapters and monographs already published. While analyses of existing…

Gamification has gained an increasing attention from researchers and practitioners in various domains including education as it can increase learners' engagement and motivation. However, little is known about how educational gamification experiences can be influenced by learners' characteristics. Therefore, this study provides a systematic…
