Post qualitative inquiry has called for method-less research and warned against the incommensurability of the use of systematic research methods with poststructural and new materialist theories. This essay offers a counterpoint to the incommensurability argument by presenting four examples of studies informed by poststructural and new materialist…

Teaching coding and computational thinking is an emerging educational imperative, now embedded in compulsory curriculum in the United States, Finland, the UK, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Australia. This meta-synthesis of 49 studies critically reviews recent international research (2009-2022) of coding and computational…

Classroom observations are an integral part of qualitative educational research. Traditionally, classroom observations have been done in-person, with one or more researchers being physically present in a classroom to observe and take field notes. With the proliferation of video technology, researchers are now able to conduct classroom observations…

Individual differences in mathematical skills emerge early and are influenced by a range of cognitive and environmental factors. One of these is the Home Mathematics Environment (HME), which includes adult-child mathematics talk. Nevertheless, large variations in methods used to investigate and code adult-child mathematics talk exist. We conducted…

The effectiveness of written corrective feedback, WCF, has been much disputed even till the present day. Various strategies of WCF are still being developing with the aim to enhance students' writing performance especially in the English language. Coded corrective feedback, CCF, is classified as an indirect WCF method, and the studies of CCF are…

This study explores the potential of the large language model GPT-4 as an automated tool for qualitative data analysis by educational researchers, exploring which techniques are most successful for different types of constructs. Specifically, we assess three different prompt engineering strategies -- Zero-shot, Few-shot, and Fewshot with…
