This study explores the feasibility of forming detailed inferences about museum visitor behavior based on analysis of data collected via "Dr. Discovery"--a mobile question-and-answer app. We analyzed 5656 questions asked by 795 visitor groups recorded by Dr. Discovery across two museums in the American Southwest. Analysis of this data…

Schools are significant settings for the development of young people, yet few studies have investigated the multiple facets of school climate and students' well-being. This research aims to map the literature production in the two intertwined concepts: students' well-being, and school climate. The study applied bibliometric analysis to map the…

Identifying online users' contexts can help researchers understand their needs. However, the validity of different methods for identifying the location of online users has been underexplored.

In this conceptual paper, we propose that a theorization of space has the potential to advance the scope of research methods in educational administration and leadership. In particular, we argue for the incorporation of the notion of 'spatial justice' to the research, analysis, and practice of educational administration and leadership in…
