In Ireland, as elsewhere, there has been growing recognition around the importance of using research evidence to inform educational policy and practice at both a national government and individual school level. Despite such importance, there is currently a dearth of empirical, peer-reviewed studies regarding the use of research evidence in the…

Augmented, virtual, and mixed reality offer digital alternatives for implementing innovative educational processes, significantly expanding opportunities in university education due to the available resources and the psycho-evolutionary development of students. This study aimed to analyze the scientific production on this topic in Scopus using…

Background: Engineering education and other discipline-based education researchers may motivate their work with claims that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) norms and culture are unique, thus requiring focused study. As research on disabled students gains momentum in engineering education, it is important to understand…

Rapid technological developments have heightened global interest in pedagogically sound uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education. However, universal principles for ICT integration need to better align with the local realities of teachers and schools for optimal uptake. Using Chile and Finland as case studies, this…

The main objective of this methodological article is to discuss the contribution of response times as a tool in education research. The use of response times in research is largely a legacy of the work carried out in cognitive psychology, which has made it possible to describe the cognitive processes involved in information processing. In…

This article provides a broad-based overview of how the current global context impacts the ability for educational research conducted by women and female scholars. Women's engagement in three critical areas of education--curriculum concerns, scholarship, and research--is addressed, and the way education policy is under duress in light of changing…

Background: This study investigates the use of large language models to create adaptive, contextually relevant survey questions, aiming to enhance data quality in educational research without limiting scalability. Purpose: We provide step-by-step methods to develop a dynamic survey instrument, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), and introduce…

Worldviews influence research--from design to interpretation and reporting. Historically, psychometrics has been predominantly situated within a positivist paradigm, while social research has often aligned with interpretivist or critical paradigms. However, emerging perspectives in the philosophy-of-science are challenging this rigid alignment,…

Physical education (PE) programs are uniquely situated to promote the development of fundamental movement skills (FMS). The aim of this systematic review was to examine the elements of PE-based interventions globally for the development of FMS, as assessed through the test of gross motor development (TGMD). A systematic literature search was…

Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) in education have been on the political agenda in Sweden during the last years. RPPs are long-term collaborations between higher education institutions and school districts (municipalities) and schools which intend to facilitate teacher-researcher collaboration in close relation to the teaching practice. This…
