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 paper, based on the established Vitae Researcher Development Framework (RDF), we introduce a new framework, tailor-made specifically for Vietnamese educational researchers, namely, Vietnam's Framework for Educational Researchers (VFER). VFER is expected to serve as a tool for Vietnamese educational researchers to self-evaluate their skills…

This paper reflexively explores the primary researcher's experiences when building rapport during an ethnography within an alternative education provision. Moving beyond the well-documented importance of rapport in ethnographic research, this article outlines the process of building rapport, which developed through the early stages of the research…

This paper explores the role of intersectional reflexivity in conducting an autoethnographic exploration of personal transformation within academic research. Using autoethnographic data from regular journaling, I illustrate my shift from a profoundly ingrained positivist research mode toward embracing alternative theoretical traditions that…

Assessing research impact and the practical value of research output can be effectively accomplished by considering various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as they may interpret and measure research impact in distinct ways. This paper aims to identify research grants that are aligned to SDGs, identify researchers' perceptions of the research…

Conversations between colleagues, significant for academic development, do not always take place centre stage. In fact, these serendipitous collaborations are often brief and fleeting, but can start a dialogue that has the potential to influence lives in academia and can lead to qualitatively different conceptions of learning and teaching. This…

In Ireland as elsewhere, the value of putting evidence and scientific advice at the centre of public policy-making, has rarely been more evident. The prominence of the science-policy interface has renewed interest in the prospects for evidence based policy (EBP) in education. Notwithstanding the political rhetoric around EBP in education, little…

Cultural brokers play a critical role of helping researchers navigate cultural and language barriers to gain insight into communities. This paper focuses on one cultural broker who helped facilitate community-based research among the refugee community. Her professionalism, expertise and knowledge of the community made her a valuable resource for…

Background: This study examines the engagement of knowledge users in knowledge mobilisation (KMb) research on Canadian K-12 teaching and education policy. Research on and around KMb has grown in the decade since this field was first assessed comprehensively. Thus, it is timely to re-evaluate if current knowledge producer-user relationships in KMb…

Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) offer a strategy for supporting educational change and bringing researchers and practitioners into meaningful engagement around pressing issues. Whereas traditional research models often position researchers in hierarchical relationships with those who take part in their projects, RPPs aim to shift power…

The aim of this study is to learn how a series of 3-day international seminars, emphasizing networking, and an academic writing, reviewing, and leading discussions, supports PhD students' professional learning and development by providing both a formal and non-formal context. The sample of this study consisted of PhD students from three countries…

There have been debates about the quality and usefulness of education research for a long time, with opinion often dividing along methodological lines. Those on different sides of an apparent methodological schism often bemoan the lack of recognition and resources afforded to their chosen approach. Whatever one's position on the existence, or…

Lesson study's international popularity spread as a unique, agency-oriented model of teacher professional development that is context-rich and deeply rooted in teacher subjectivities. This project aimed to answer the question, what do mathematics teacher education researchers learn about teacher learning by focusing on uncertainties as they arise…

Systematic reviews have witnessed significant growth across many fields, including education. In this article, we outline the background of this growth, highlight the tendency to focus on methodological considerations, and propose a framework to support education researchers in preparing systematic reviews with broad impact. We draw on our…

Several studies on research misconduct have already explored and discussed its potential occurrence in universities across different countries. However, little is known about this issue in Spain, a paradigmatic context due to its consolidated scientific evaluation system, which relies heavily on metrics. The present article attempts to fill this…
