This embedded single-case study investigates four secondary school L2 teachers' perceptions of metacognitive oracy instruction (MOI) over a two-year Design-Based Research (DBR) project and examines the effects of the project on their declared practices almost a year after its completion. Questionnaires, learner notes, and interviews to the double…

In the literature, research education is insufficiently addressed. Existing studies often document pre-/post-educational interventions. Accounts of individual scholars colored by their views and experience are rarely considered. This study describes the research experience of a faculty member in academic medicine and examines the values and…

This article reports the impact of an exploratory action research (EAR) project on developing teachers' action research competencies. Through various face-to-face and online activities, the project facilitated four English language teachers to conduct EAR in their teaching contexts. Qualitative data were collected through reflective journals and…

A growing number of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and health sciences (STEM-H) faculty are interested and find value in learning how to conduct research in the education setting of their discipline.
