The current study reviewed the practice and application of social validity assessments in single-case design (SCD) studies within the field of school psychology. Social validity refers to the acceptability of intervention or program goals, procedures, and outcomes to educators, families, and students. Understanding the ways social validity is…

Research in mathematics education constantly oscillates between theoretical or 'Is' questions and practical or 'Ought' questions: Researchers are not only pursuing theoretical questions by investigating what those involved in the teaching and learning of mathematics do, but they are also working on practical recommendations for what they ought to…

Grounded in Quantitative Critical Race Theory (QuantCrit), this study utilizes Critical Content Analysis to examine how educational sessions at the Association for Institutional Research's annual conference, AIR Forum, have engaged issues of race and racism. On average, race was mentioned in just 6.2% of AIR Forum sessions annually, and only three…

For educational research findings to impact educational practice, effective communication is essential. One communication device is a summary that consolidates research literature and presents it in a practitioner-friendly format. There has been little research on how to design educational research summaries effectively, especially not for early…

Increasingly, there are expectations internationally that schools will use research to inform their improvement initiatives. Within this context, this paper brings together findings from two large-scale Australian studies - the Monash Q Project and the University of Newcastle's Quality Teaching Rounds Project - to explore educators' patterns of…

In the ever-evolving realm of educational research, the design and validation of curricula is gaining prominence. Ensuring both the internal and external validity of such designs is vital, with external validity, specifically applicability, highlighting the practical feasibility and relevance in real-world educational contexts. Drawing on Dewey's…

In a higher education (HE) landscape that is becoming increasingly internationalised and diversified, the importance of inclusive teaching practices, particularly in the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), is gaining growing international attention. While comprehensive frameworks and strategies are developed through educational…

The British Educational Research Association (BERA) has promulgated a concept of close-to-practice research that is seen as vital to defending and promoting education as an academic discipline. However, what is overlooked are the questions of what education is for and what educational practice is--questions that need to be addressed for any…

In this article, we try to understand the phenomenon of pedagogical tact as a particular form of power to judge. For this, we rehearse Immanuel Kant's idea of "Urteilskraft" as it first appears in the "Critique of Pure Reason," where it is also rendered in educational terms. However, the power to apply rules works without any…

This study shares perspectives on how a teaching-research nexus could be developed in teacher education practices. The focus is on one teacher-educator's experience of learning to communicate the mutuality of teaching and research initiatives with a group of learner-teachers and colleagues during a college-based teacher education course in…

The use of established and discipline-specific theories within research and practice is an indication of the maturity of a discipline. With computing education research as a relatively young discipline, there has been recent interest in investigating theories that may prove foundational to work in this area, with discipline-specific theories and…

The relationship Terry and I developed as colleagues and friends illustrates elements of the legacy she leaves. Our overlapping research interests stimulated conversations about synergies and differences between our theoretical perspectives. Depending on the situation and purpose, these interactions possessed different characteristics. Terry…

"Teacher as Researcher: Becoming Familiar with Educational Research to Connect Theory to Practice" is written for teachers involved in research on improving classroom instruction and helping students in their learning process. This is a complete guide for in-service teachers doing research in their classroom or for pre-service teachers…

The production and use of explicit models of mathematics are important elements of research in Didactics of Mathematics. In this paper, we present and compare two different European approaches to didactical modelling. The first, centred around the notion of basic idea (Grundvorstellung), arose in German-speaking countries as a development within…

This essay argues that contemporary debates about the role of practice in teacher education run the risk of reproducing mind/body, thought/action dualisms. Absent these binaries, practice is understood as always theoretical, principled, and contextualized and knowledge and identity are understood as always embodied and enacted. The author…
