Inspired by the evolving nature of qualitative research, this study aims to examine the use of "qualitative survey", a newer technique in qualitative data collection methods than interviews and observation. In addition to trends in research capacity, collaborations and research topics, the extent to which this data collection method has…

The purpose of this qualitative meta-analysis (QMA) is to provide a concise and comprehensive picture of findings across qualitative studies to answer this question: What factors contribute to systematically closing the opportunity gap for all students, and particularly for students labelled linguistically and culturally diverse? The ultimate goal…

We analysed the full text of all journal articles returned to the education subpanel of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF2021). Using a latent Dirichlet allocation topic model, we identified 35 topics that collectively summarise the journal articles that research units, typically schools of education, selected for submission. We found…

Using a content analysis methodology, we examined 15 peer-reviewed articles published between 2009 and 2019 that used qualitative and mixed methods approaches to explore how college and university students experience food insecurity. Concerningly, there was limited variety in the methods employed across these articles and more discussion of…

This study utilizes quantitative content analysis (QCA) and deductive qualitative approach (DQA) grounded in Ruiz's orientations of language planning to understand the landscape of bilingual educational research. This QCA included targeted counts from bilingual journal articles (n = 102) covering methodology, participants, region, and bilingual…

This systematic review examines the empirical research conducted in the past decade to investigate the application of immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) in geography higher education.
