Research development, also known in Canada as research facilitation, is a strategic approach used by research institutions globally to enhance research capacity and competitiveness. However, there is an absence of literature describing how the function is structured and implemented in the Canadian context. This descriptive study contributes some…

Many qualitative researchers have incorporated poetry in qualitative research to analyze data and present findings. Found poetry, poetic transcription, and data poems are well-known poetic methods in qualitative data analysis that scholars have adopted to analyze data and artistically represent findings. The research project that this case is…

Purpose: Securing ethical approval can be a frustrating and opaque experience for some creative practice research students who may find the processes required of them not well suited to their specific inquiry. This can lead to an erosion of trust between students and their institutions. This paper aims to synthesize perspectives representing both…

When reflecting on my years as a doctoral student, I recall several questions that often came to mind throughout my journey: what is participatory health research? Is such an approach to research truly feasible in the pursuit of a doctoral degree? Is it worth it, or have I inadvertently made things more challenging for myself? My response to these…

In a pioneering effort, we tried to measure and explain Political Science (PS) students' perceptions of their discipline as science. We analyzed as dependent variables the single option answers to the question "Why does the word 'science' exist in the name of our discipline?" Those responses represent a range of perceptions from the most…

In this article, we reflect on our experiences with teaching ethnographic skills and sensibilities to MSc students at a Dutch university. Using methods such as (self)observation, journaling and reflection, we highlight dilemmas (conceptual, practical, ethical) faced by students when doing ethnographic fieldwork and dilemmas that emerged in…

Over the past decade, there has been an increased emphasis on tailoring men's health promotion programs. To optimize outcomes, participatory action research that involves and elicits feedback from end-users has been highlighted as important to creating gender-responsive interventions. In this scoping review, we examine (a) how participatory action…

This study explores how qualitative health researchers navigate the demands of medical research ethics committees in Germany where qualitative research is subject to approval only when it is conducted in medical contexts. We present the results of a grounded theory study to investigate qualitative health researchers' experiences with procedural…

This systematic review examines how preservice teachers' (PSTs) domain-specific epistemological beliefs (EB) are studied and understood within initial teacher education (ITE) with attention to theoretical, contextual, and methodological aspects. Findings from 24 empirical studies published up to 2024 were synthesized. The review analyzed…

The education system has relied on conventional single-score assessments, which provide limited insights into students' cognitive abilities. Cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA) offers a promising alternative by providing detailed information on students' cognitive processes. The review aims to explore the recent trends of cognitive diagnostic…

Maintaining academic research quality in higher education institutions (HEIs) has become increasingly important due to the need for knowledge advancement, public accountability, institutional credibility, and adaptability in the changing academic environment. This study investigated the practices of maintaining academic research quality at three…

This case study is based on original research for a new teaching toolkit at the University of East Anglia (UEA), in Norwich, UK. The toolkit seeks to support the cultivation of equitable, fair, and dignified learning environments in UK Higher Education. It is grounded in decolonial principles that emphasize the relevance of ongoing reflexivity and…

This paper reflects on the dynamic of co-developing knowledge within a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) project in the UK that set out to direct teenage and young adult Ambulatory Care. This is a service that offers cancer treatment that would have once required inpatient hospital stays. Working within a Community-of-Inquiry (CoI),…

Purpose: This paper contends that data generated by research on supervision are often taken as authentic data. Through an examination of studies that use audio/visual recordings to investigate supervision, the paper both promotes and problematises the recording of supervision meetings as a useful technique for doctoral supervision research. This…

This paper explores the challenges of filming as a qualitative research method in practical school subjects. We exemplify with an observation study using video data collected from lessons in Home Economics, but the issues we discuss are also relevant for other subjects with practical elements, such as Arts, Crafts, Music, Physical Education, and…
