Pacewicz, Josh – Sociological Methods & Research, 2022
Most social scientists agree that case studies are useful for "theory building," but ethnographic methods papers often look to survey research for case selection strategies. This is due to a common but untenable distinction between theoretical and empirical generalization, which obscures how theoretically inclined ethnographers make…

Crotts, John C. – Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, 2022
This case is framed around the personal experience of a faculty member whose dispute with supervisors lead to the resignation of a chair, the eventual firing of a dean, and the loss of good will with key community stakeholders. It focuses on the analysis of an internal grievance process that brings the student to two decision points, namely, (a)…

Miles, Danielle Christine – Natural Sciences Education, 2022
With the onset of global change, forest species diversity has declined in recent decades as pristine habitat in biological hotspots rapidly diminishes. Many carbon mitigation efforts directed at decreasing emissions from forest degradation and destruction assume that faunal biodiversity will benefit from such efforts. Yet, conservation of faunal…

Logan, Alvin, Jr.; Saunders, Margaret – Journal of Museum Education, 2022
Caring for many objects is one of the more challenging aspects of the museum profession. In museums that collect cultural belongings, utilizing best care practices ensures that objects of cultural heritage can be studied and appreciated by the peoples whose cultures they represent. Thus, providing collections care is necessary to support learning…

Arroyabe, Marta F.; Schumann, Martin; Arranz, Carlos F. A. – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
Since the introduction of the concept of entrepreneurial university in 1980s, the number of studies has dramatically increased, in particular since 2015. This had made the literature on the entrepreneurial university complex, fragmented and difficult to navigate. This paper provides a comprehensive review of all topics covered in the body of…

Luke W. Miratrix – Grantee Submission, 2022
We are sometimes forced to use the Interrupted Time Series (ITS) design as an identification strategy for potential policy change, such as when we only have a single treated unit and cannot obtain comparable controls. For example, with recent county- and state-wide criminal justice reform efforts, where judicial bodies have changed bail setting…

Tim Tenneriello – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The performance of public education in Michigan has been significantly below average across the country for decades (US News, 2019). Lawmakers in Michigan sought to remedy this in the 1990's with the introduction of charter schools into the educational landscape. Throughout the years, there has been significant debate around whether charter…

Fabien Accominotti; Freda Lynn; Michael Sauder – RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, 2022
We argue that the properties of status hierarchies, independent of the positions actors occupy within them, have important effects on the degree of inequality in material rewards generated by status processes. We first discuss how a focus on status hierarchies differs from, complements, and extends the traditional focus on individual-level status…

Angela M. Lyle; James P. Spillane; Christa Haverly – Educational Policy, 2024
This comparative case study explores how 18 state education agencies (SEAs) support school districts in advancing standards-based elementary science reform. We identify how SEAs understand their work in advancing elementary science reform and describe how SEAs sought to engage districts in bridging from standards to classroom practice. Based on…

Gamze Kurt; Özge Çakioglu – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2024
This study aims to investigate students' computational thinking (CT) through mathematical tasks integrated with programming in Scratch. Participants completed four tasks that required students to solve coding problems, which were focused on prime numbers and the prime factorization algorithm. The study was designed as a case study and the unit of…

Yann Shiou Ong; Lee Yew-Jin; Miechie Leowardy – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2024
Opportunity to learn (OTL) is a ubiquitous measure of the likelihood of learning in educational research, which typically has been characterized by three dimensions: time, coverage of content, and quality of instruction. The last dimension has been defined in highly divergent ways, which gives it a double-edged nature. While it may be…

Cathal de Paor – Studies in Continuing Education, 2024
An effective system of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) requires assessment processes that are appropriate for the nature of the experiential learning being assessed. Otherwise, potential candidates may be discouraged from engaging in RPL applications and therefore not benefit from the lifelong learning opportunities available. It has been…

Brooke Hildebrand Clubbs; Eu Gene Chin – Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2024
Structural equation modeling and autoethnography have rarely been integrated in scientific studies. The example employs a convergent intensive longitudinal data collection strategy and an explanatory bidirectional framework for data merging analysis to examine one instructor's practices of incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) and…

Alicia Bruno; Irene Polo-Blanco; Steven Van Vaerenbergh; Raúl Fernández-Cobos; María José González-López – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
This study examines the multiplicative problem-solving strategies used by a 14-year-old student with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities during an instructional process based on the Conceptual Model-based Problem Solving (COMPS) approach. The instruction aimed to enhance conceptual comprehension of problem-solving by the use of…

Sufiana Safiena; Yang Miang Goh – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Traditional teaching methods like lectures can hinder the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in higher education. To address this challenge, digital simulation games (DSGs) offer promising solutions through immersive and interactive learning experiences. Research shows that DSGs can motivate learners, enhance subject…
