Over the past 15 years, qualitative case study research has become more prominent in agricultural education. The first case study research appeared in the Journal of Agricultural Education (JAE) in 1997. To date, 33 qualitative case study research articles have been published in JAE. Additionally, case study research has become highly visible at…

Nature-based learning is increasingly being implemented and explored within early childhood education settings. Thus, including sustainability, environmental education, place-based education, and other similar topics may help prepare future educators and teachers to provide meaningful experiences for children in the outdoor environment. The…

This Case Study discusses a multiple case study based on my doctoral dissertation, which focused on a rural area of a western American state and the cross-case analysis of five gang-affiliated youths (ages 19 to 30 years) and their chosen mentors. The findings from the dissertation highlight the importance of familial relationships among this…

This case study focuses on a longitudinal study of changes in public acceptance of evolution in the United States. Change over time is often a central issue in social science research questions. There are two kinds of change over time. Time-series studies address change in populations or groups over time. Longitudinal studies address changes in…

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the alignment between sustainable performance and sustainability planning in higher education, proposing a strategic map that integrates planning with the implementation of performance actions and sustainable performance on campuses. Design/methodology/approach: The literature review development addresses…

This article analyzes the acquisition of the passive voice in Northern East (NE) Cree and pays particular attention to the interaction of frequency effects and language-specific cues in the way children form and employ expectations, the process of anticipating oncoming structure in the ambient language. The passive has long been of interest in…

This paper reports some results of a study on how Colombian primary-school teachers, experienced in the use of technological tools, integrate digital resources into their practice. Specifically, we investigate the processes of selection and integration (including appropriation and orchestration) of these resources in the teaching of geometry. We…

The first year of university can be a vulnerable time, especially for students who describe themselves as shy and who may be reluctant to engage socially. Shyness, which can be closely aligned with social anxiety, often reduces opportunities for students to belong. This paper presents the experiences of two students negotiating experiences of…

The use of inter-rater reliability (IRR) methods may provide an opportunity to improve the transparency and consistency of qualitative case study data analysis in terms of the rigor of how codes and constructs have been developed from the raw data. Few articles on qualitative research methods in the literature conduct IRR assessments or neglect to…

The rapid evolution of digital marketing, characterized by the surge in digital channels and data, has amplified the demand for graduates specialized in digital marketing analytics (DMA). Yet, marketing educators contend with insufficient theoretical guidance and practical pedagogical methods in the course design that aligns with industry…

Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) have a long history in clinical and educational disciplines. One underdeveloped area in advancing SCED design and analysis is understanding the process of how internal validity threats and operational concerns are avoided or mitigated. Two strategies to ameliorate such issues in SCED involve replication and…

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic extended to the education sector in South Africa, prompting the implementation of preventative measures by the National Coronavirus Command Council. These COVID-19 protocols included the wearing of face masks or face shields, ensuring maximum ventilation, washing of hands, and school attendance routines…

Research is needed that describes how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the employment of autistic youth. In this mixed-methods study, we present data on three cohorts of military-connected/dependent youth on the autism spectrum participating in a randomized, waitlist-controlled trial of Project SEARCH + ASD Supports to describe the potential effects…

Purpose: Critical realism is an increasingly popular "lens" through which complex events, entities and phenomena can be studied. Yet detailed operationalisations of critical realism are at present relatively scarce. This study's objective here is built on existing debates by developing an open systems model of reality, a basis for…

Artificial intelligence, also known as machine intelligence, is defined as the intelligence demonstrated by machines or computers. Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly being used in early childhood education to support learning and development for young children. Therefore, it is considered important to understand how children perceive…
