Decades of research has demonstrated the power of growth mindsets (i.e. belief in the malleability of the qualities of humans) to shape people's ways of making sense of their socio-cultural reality and influence their ways of thinking about and acting towards change.

Pablo Bezem; Anne Piezunka; Rebecca Jacobsen – Leadership and Policy in Schools, 2024
In an era of test-based accountability, school inspections can offer a more nuanced understanding of why schools fail.

Kseniia Marcq; Johan Braeken – International Journal of Testing, 2025
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) student questionnaire, despite being designed for low cognitive demand, may induce test burden due to its 306-item length, resulting in increased item nonresponse toward the questionnaire's end.

The rapid expansion of neo-liberal regimes has effectively transformed how students -- their role and purpose -- are understood in society.

More recent studies have begun to explore students' views of this construction.…

Blasius, Jörg; Thiessen, Victor – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
Identifying illicit behavior in survey research is inherently problematic, since self-reports are untrustworthy. We argue that fraudulent interviewers can, however, be identified through statistical deviance of the distributional parameters of their interviews. We document that a high proportion of the variation in the data is due to the…
