This article reports on a systematic review of journal articles that used dyadic interviews, also known as paired or joint interviews. The two basic formats for these interviews involve either interviewing participants separately or together, plus the additional possibility of using both formats in the same study. A search using the Social Science…

The debate about the characteristics and advantages of quantitative and qualitative methods is decades old. In their seminal monograph, "A Tale of Two Cultures" (2012, ATTC), Gary Goertz and James Mahoney argue that methods and research design practices for causal inference can be distinguished as two cultures that systematically differ…

In 2007, Kim Dooley advanced a conceptual framework for qualitative work within agricultural education. To date, little has examined JAE's adherence to this call or promoted opportunity to further develop qualitative research within AAAE. In answer to Dooley's call, we specifically explored the key tenets of phenomenology, JAE's published work…

It is a necessity for a researcher to ensure that the validity and reliability of the study is met to prove a discovery. However, there are still qualitative researchers who are still reckless and do not emphasize the concept of validity and reliability when designing, collecting, and analysing the research findings. The quality of a qualitative…

This study analyzed articles from the last four years regarding how science education research is framed and discussed as qualitative research. The research question that guided this study was: "To what extent do qualitative secondary science teaching research publications reflect high-quality practices found in mainstream methodological…

Qualitative researchers in school psychology are asked to reflect on how their identities, goals, and backgrounds influence their research studies, and to disclose these influences in their manuscripts. Given that reflexivity is a process and not an event, it can be challenging to decide what and how much about oneself, or selves, to disclose in a…

Mathematics teacher leadership is promising, yet complex work, and research interest in this form of leadership is on the rise. This systematic review takes stock of the current research landscape on mathematics teacher leadership, specifically mathematics specialists as teacher leaders (MSTLs), and approaches the questions: (1) What are the…

This paper focuses on the considerations in determining the number of participants for qualitative research because of the lack of clear guidelines in this area. The study has employed a semi-systematic literature review that is embedded with the researcher's experience. The study has concluded that the purpose of the research, methodological…

This study investigated the role of ChatGPT-assisted data analysis in mathematics education research within the post-modern scholarly milieu using a scoping review approach. This examined how ChatGPT contributes to ethical, reliable, rigorous, and context-sensitive data analysis in mathematics education research. The findings reveal five (5)…

The interaction of quantitative and qualitative methodology in the mixed methods research (MMR) is analysed in a context of distinctions of the meanings between the terms typically used for description, combination, and integration. The interaction in the phases that precede the results, and their interpretation is considered. As an indicator of…

This study used scoping review as an approach to examine and determine the extent of studies undertaken in civic engagement roles of libraries and librarians in times of rapid growth of information disorders in the social media environment. The research identified concepts, and methods by providing a systematic examination of academic and…

Inspired by the evolving nature of qualitative research, this study aims to examine the use of "qualitative survey", a newer technique in qualitative data collection methods than interviews and observation. In addition to trends in research capacity, collaborations and research topics, the extent to which this data collection method has…

The purpose of this qualitative meta-analysis (QMA) is to provide a concise and comprehensive picture of findings across qualitative studies to answer this question: What factors contribute to systematically closing the opportunity gap for all students, and particularly for students labelled linguistically and culturally diverse? The ultimate goal…

The purpose of this study is to discover the main themes and categories of the research studies regarding digital literacy. To serve this purpose, the databases of WoS/Clarivate Analytics, Proquest Central, Emerald Management Journals, Jstor Business College Collections and Scopus/Elsevier were searched with four keyword-combinations and final…

The short time frame associated with rapid reviews can be challenging for researchers conducting qualitative evidence synthesis. In these circumstances a Best-Fit Framework Synthesis, drawing upon existing theory and/or research, may be conducted to rapidly make sense of qualitative evidence. This article discusses a "Rapid Best-Fit"…
