The concept of 'centre and periphery' has become ubiquitous in the study of higher education, especially in an international context. Through an engagement with the recent scholarly literature, we argue that simultaneously this concept has been decontextualised and naturalised. Its origins were largely forgotten and centre and periphery started to…

In his 2017 ASHE Presidential Address, Shaun Harper first named some historical, compositional, curricular, and editorial manifestations of white power in U.S. universities and in the study of higher education. He then talked specifically about the preservation of white property rights and racialized socialization norms in our field. President…

Pre-service teacher leadership is an emerging and crucial area of educational research, gaining significant attention due to its impact on future educational outcomes. The purpose of this study is to investigate research trends in pre-service teacher leadership globally from 2018 to 2024 using bibliometric analysis with the Scopus database. A…

Educators have been concerned about students' time management skills for decades. Subsequently, scholars have studied approaches for better time management to intervene and help students. Prior research has described organizing, scheduling, and completing tasks to meet time constraints. Although insightful for understanding key mechanisms at the…

Whilst the importance of research in teacher education is widely emphasised, debates continue about issues of value, legitimacy and contributions to the knowledge base. This paper aims to contribute to these debates by looking at research in, on and for teacher education, by teacher educators. Drawing from 20 interviews of international…

This article theorises how the concept of "affective imaginaries" can be taken up in higher education research to turn attention to institutional affect. The discussion brings into conversation socio-cultural and affective-political readings of "social imaginaries" to argue that analytical work on affective imaginaries makes it…

Within descriptive phenomenology, participants' lived experiences provide data about the studied phenomenon, in this case academic freedom in teacher education in a tension between certainty and uncertainty. The current phenomenon was examined in a phenomenological study about preservice teachers' possibilities to develop critical and autonomous…

Although there are empirical studies on the adaptation of fresh students in the country towards new life and conditions when they start university degrees and psychological processes following immigration, little is known about the adaptation problems of international students going abroad for university education. Similarly, scientific studies on…

The literature on entrepreneurial universities has grown exponentially over the past three decades. Concomitantly, the meanings attached to the terminology of entrepreneurial universities has proliferated, creating confusion amongst users. To fill this gap, an inductive analysis of entrepreneurial university conceptualisations from the term's…

While much has been written about the methods that should inform narrative and systematic reviews, far less consideration has been given to their purpose. While the narrative review is a common text type in higher education research, relatively little is known about how these reviews seek to make a novel contribution. Reviews can play a role in…

Psychoeducation, merging educational strategies with psychological insights, is pivotal in modern psychology for managing mental health. Understanding psychoeducation trends is vital for its optimization as mental health awareness grows. This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of psychoeducation research over the past decade,…

In this study, we conducted a holistic analysis of educational studies on social network analysis (SNA) in higher education. To this end, articles published in Web of Science between 2010 and 2020 on social network analysis at higher education level in the field of educational sciences were analyzed using content analysis. A systematic review of…

This article contends that there is a plausible claim that peer-reviewing and editorship, two significantly impactful activities in our field--as in other disciplinary areas--function under black box approaches whereby the opacity of the process is overlaid by lacunae in learning, onboarding, and mentorship. In other words, current professional…

Biochemistry is becoming increasingly crucial for undergraduates majoring in biology, chemistry, agriculture, and medicine. In recent years, much research has been carried out on promoting this course's teaching outcomes. However, the knowledge structure of undergraduate biochemistry teaching research has yet to be formed. Here, 715 validated…

All fields of knowledge are challenged to adopt newer, more sophisticated methodologies to cope with growing complexity. Phenomena under study require further multidisciplinary and mixed methods collaborations to achieve expertise able to improve research strategies and practices. Furthermore, traditional methodological approaches face limits to…
