The Impact Agenda, introduced with Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF), constituted a revolution in research evaluation in the UK. 'Research impact' (impact of scholarly work outside of academia) became one of three profiles under which research quality is evaluated. This shift in the British evaluation system was followed, and often…

Policy tools have become widespread in education, which indicates efforts to standardise content and professional practices. However, such standardisation might be in contrast to Nordic early childhood education and care (ECEC) traditions of diversity and local variation. We therefore study the distributors and enactment of policy tools in ECEC in…

Aotearoa New Zealand's educational landscape is complex, characterised by diverse cultural and emotional dynamics. This single case study explores how primary school leaders harness cultural intelligence (CQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ) to inspire agility amid complexities. Set in a semi-rural context marked by leadership changes and…

This case study, framing teaching as a dialogic relationship between teachers and students, investigates how educators can learn how to manage the complexity of instructional decision-making through a professional learning routine. The study analysis examined how the "Teacher Time Out" routine, when embedded within collaborative teaching…

The integration of technology-enhanced learning has significantly transformed educational practices, especially within DE contexts. Livestreaming, delivered through virtual platforms such as Microsoft Teams, has emerged as a crucial tool for enhancing student engagement, supporting language acquisition, and improving teacher training. This…

Worldwide interest in Lesson Study (LS) and the opportunities offered for student learning through the use of a Structured Problem-Solving Approach (SPSA), as typically adopted in Japanese LS research lessons in mathematics, have left largely unanswered questions about the extent to which these can be replicated elsewhere. This paper presents a…

Studies in the field of science education have discussed using historical approaches. Although previous studies have shown the potential advantages to addressing national sciences in the classroom in countries underrepresented in the history of science, there are still few initiatives in this direction. Thus, this paper aims to explore a…

Online collaborative argumentations need instructional support to ensure social interactions and in-depth cognitive engagement. It is known that graphic organizers assist in comprehending information and negotiating meanings for individual and collective tasks. This study intends to compare the effects of different graphic organizers in…

This study investigated the forms, causes, effects, and solutions to challenging behaviours in primary schools in Ibadan South West Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. The qualitative research design of the case study type was used for the study. The study population consisted of pupils, teachers, and school heads. The purposive sampling…

This study synthesized 14 published and unpublished group design and single-case design studies on bullying interventions for individuals with disabilities. The specific objectives were to examine the general characteristics and design qualities of the studies, quantify the magnitude of the intervention effects, and identify potential moderating…

Ethnic Studies courses are expanding in U.S. schools. While research has demonstrated the benefits of Ethnic Studies for racially minoritized students, less research has interrogated the process of Ethnic Studies curriculum development. Counternarrative--a central component of Ethnic Studies curricula--may present tensions for teachers crafting…

Disability-inclusive education and development have become priorities for global governance organizations over the past decade and have thus introduced new complexities to existing development narratives. One reason for this is the long-standing discourse of "disability models" (medical, social, and cultural models) most often found in…

This case study reflects on the first iteration of a new course in film education, titled Introduction to Film Education, which ran for the first time at Queen Margaret University in Scotland in 2021. It considers the upskilling of both teachers and film education practitioners in film education, while reflecting upon the co-creation of a film…

Wireless electroencephalography (EEG) devices allow for recordings in contexts outside the laboratory. However, many details must be considered for their use. In this research, using a case study with a group of third-grade primary school students, we aim to show some of the potentialities and limitations of research with these devices in…

Recently developed randomized-test procedures for two independent-samples single-case designs are presented and applied to a memory-strategy intervention study with eight underperforming students from low SES backgrounds. Research design aspects, data-analysis features, and various output measures are provided to demonstrate the potential utility…
