Plagens, Gregory K. – Education and Culture, 2011
Scholarly work on student and school performance poses a variety of explanations for observed variations.

Dumay, Xavier – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2014
Since the 1970s, schools have been characterized as loosely coupled systems, meaning that the teachers' work is weakly coordinated at the local level. Nonetheless, few studies have focused on the local variations of coordination modes, their sources and their nature. In this article, the process of local coordination of the teachers' work is…

Previous research has identified different moral judgments in liberals and conservatives.

Thus, some argue that conservatives have a more complex morality. We suggest…
