Institutional ethnography (IE) is a feminist approach to research focusing on the organising power of texts and language. This paper explores "how" to analyse texts in IE while considering the importance of reflexivity and accountability to feminist research. Based on a five year study of UK university audit processes, I developed a…

Academic integrity policies and processes vary from institution to institution and between countries. The last 30 years has seen increased attention on policies that provide a process focused on educating students and reintegrating those who cheat into their institutions rather than punitive and permanent sanctions, such as expulsion.

Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) have drawn a great deal of attention as promising structures for bringing educational research and practice closer together. However, promising as RPPs may be, challenges still exist and there have been calls for studies investigating how research can be used within RPPs, and how to include practitioners more…

Science education researchers agree about the importance of evidence in science practices such as argumentation. Yet, disagreements and ambiguities about what counts as "evidence" in science classrooms pervade the literature. We argue that these ambiguities and disagreements can be viewed as falling along three fault lines: (i) the…

In the 1947 Truman Commission, Zook noted a validation of international education for US community colleges and specified two recommendations for the internationalization of US community colleges. The first recommendation was to embrace internationalization in the curriculum, and the second was to create an educational context in which students…

We summarize qualitative research conducted on the mattering construct and then describe a qualitative investigation focused on mattering as a key aspect of the relational factors which influence the learning and development of students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 professors recognized for their teaching excellence.…

Although decolonial thought from Latin America and the Caribbean is a multifaceted field of research and sociopolitical praxis, it is often interpreted monolithically. To refuse this tendency, we argue that it is imperative to trace decolonial theory's intellectual genealogies and engage in transgressive decolonial hermeneutics to re-interpret…

In this study, I explore a time when I crafted a philosophy of practice (PoP) to inform team-teaching encounters. I articulate my experience through a blended auto-ethnographical account. I propose that integrating an intentionally designed PoP for team-teaching aids in uncovering group-based responsibilities, opportunities, and limitations. The…

The traditional academic pipeline has branched out significantly in recent years. The motivation of students pursuing higher degrees has also changed dramatically in response to wider socio-economic needs. Supervisors of PhD students are consequently faced with the need to adapt supervision practices to equip graduates with a broader suite of…

In this article, Bianca Thoilliez draws on pragmatist notions of fallibilism and pluralism to develop proposals for possible educational interventions to address the problem of "post-truth" conditions. Post-truth, she contends, is not only a political danger for liberal democracies, but it also poses a serious threat of extinction for…

Although policymakers have advocated for infusing sustainability throughout the higher education curriculum, we know little about how to teach students this complex subject matter. Therefore, using data from a sustainability survey of Michigan State University undergraduate students, this study charted students' exposure to promising practices of…

The ongoing reform of the Nepali education system is guided by the commitment of Nepal's Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology to improve educational outcomes through alignment with international educational policy. The reform goals require Nepali teachers to change their classroom practices to become child-friendly, flexible, and…

This paper provides a 'home international' comparative analysis of education policy on social and emotional wellbeing, drawing on the case of the UK and its four distinct education systems of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have developed more holistic policy in this area, which stands in stark…

Increasing student agency doesn't mean having students choose among preselected options in their learning experience. Understanding what it means to have agency and the power of using one's voice are life skills that should start being developed in the classroom. Tanji Reed Marshall, director of P-12 practice at The Education Trust, explains why…

Imagine yourself standing on a beach with the sand being pulled out from under your feet with each retreating wave. You must struggle to regain your footing each time. Now imagine standing on a cement pad on the same beach. Each time the waves come in, you can feel the force of their movement and their power, but your footing is not compromised.…
