We offer this case study as an example of the important work that often happens quietly, and without grants or public recognition, and that only rarely appears in academic literature, and reflect to theorize our practices (Stepney & Thompson, 2021), making space for culturally relevant and impactful research practices by moving from practice…

This case study focuses on the use of qualitative interview methodology to understand the socioemotional states of undocumented students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields during the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of a recent research project. The term "socioemotional states" refers to the emotional…

Internet parent-implemented interventions show promise as an ideal format for the provision of stand-alone or supplemental services. However, the interventions are only useful if they are accessed. This case will help the reader to understand issues and solutions related to the recruitment and retention of parents in a digital intervention…

The aim of this research was to explore personal and professional influences on practice when constructing academic feedback for undergraduate students from a lecturer perspective, an under-researched area of practice. Autoethnography was used to foreground my personal experiences from which a more relational understanding of the intersecting…

Providing effective written feedback is an important aspect of the learning process, yet very little empirical research has attempted to address the "psychology" of receiving tutor feedback. As a consequence, this remains an extremely under-researched area. This study aimed to find out whether participants' subjective perceptions of…

This research stems from our work at the University of Hong Kong that explores new ways to develop high-quality teachers, arguably the most influential element in any education system. Set against a complex backdrop of globalization, high-stakes comparative studies of educational systems, and increased demands on teachers at primary and secondary…

Conversation Analysis uncovers features of talk-in-interaction during "real life" conversations. When these phenomena are repeatedly observed in the data, conclusions can be drawn regarding the function of the phenomena as elements of talk. In this project, we drew on a corpus of video-recordings collected in five different early…

The purpose of this single-subject study was to examine the effectiveness of video feedback in improving the job-related behaviors of twin adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities. The targeted behaviors included active engagement, decision-making, responding to others, hygiene, and transition making. A…

In 2008, we decided to investigate error learning processes in German vocational schools. Our focus was on accounting education because accounting is a central topic in commercial vocational education, and it is known to be error-prone. We therefore wanted to learn more about how well teachers diagnose student errors and how they react after…

This case study examines how performative methodologies can offer opportunities for children to represent their emerging knowledges of the "constructed" and "embodied" dimensions of emotional experiences. I show how children's dramatised performances reveal how they appropriate the discourses of emotion (constructed emotion)…

Student-led tutorials were introduced at the Liverpool Hope Business School after some issues arising in the existing "teacher-led" model. It was felt that these tutorials were becoming just another form of mini-lectures, with the lecturers going through tutorial readings in class with minimal student participation and engagement. The…

While few question the importance of teacher-student relationships, less is known regarding which aspects have the most impact on students. However, exploring these aspects requires distinct measures to assess the various domains of these relationships. Several years ago, we embarked on an endeavor to create a new survey instrument to measure…

This article examines a research method of conducting interviews with pairs of individuals, who may be friends or relatives. The authors critically reflect on their experiences of collecting qualitative data in an interview with two respondents. While one-on-one interviews and focus groups are more established and well-studied forms of gathering…

This case provides an account of how micro-ethnography and fiction narratives were used together on a PhD that explores teachers' emotional involvement with their day-to-day work in 'special-alternative' schools. The case study presented here focuses on examining the practicalities and challenges of putting together those methods. A…

Designing, developing, and implementing a multi-year randomized control trial targeting what works in gifted education mathematics study is challenging, at best. In response to the United States Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences request for proposal, we carefully constructed a mixed-methods study by assembling a diverse…
