This systematic scoping review was conducted to determine the extent of existing research on professionals’ attitudes toward school attendance problems (SAPs), including school refusal (SR), truancy ...(TR), school withdrawal (SW), and school exclusion (SE), in basic education. Five databases (ERIC, Academic Search Ultimate, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) were systematically searched for relevant literature. Forty-five studies met the inclusion criteria that were set prior to the search and were eligible for inclusion. The results of this systematic scoping review reveal that there has been a continuous increase in studies addressing professionals’ attitudes toward SAPs since 2000, with the greatest number of studies published after 2019 and in Europe. Most studies were descriptive, cross-sectional, and used a qualitative approach and the most common informants were school-based professionals (i.e., teachers, school administrators, and other school staff). The included studies used a variety of concepts referring to SAPs and types of SAPs, underlining the present challenges in terminology and definitions that characterize the research field. The results of this review contribute to identifying gaps in knowledge and offer guidelines for future research as a prerequisite to enhance the contemporary comprehension of SAPs in research and in practice.
This bibliometric study aims at exploring the publications on embodied cognition in China based on the China Net Knowledge Index (CNKI) database between 2005 and 2021. “Embodied cognition” were ...keywords used for searching relevant publications in CNKI, November 6th, 2021. There are 1107 articles collected excluding English literature, conference papers, and dissertations. The free software BICOMB 2.0 is applied for data analysis. Results indicated that the number of articles is on the rise yearly since 2005. Most of the articles are seen in the core journals. The leading authors are Hao-sheng Ye, Wei Chen, and Xun-dong Zheng. The 211 level universities in China published more articles than other institutions. There are 5 major clusters representing hotspot issues: embodied cognition in linguistics, the pedagogical application of embodied cognition, cognitive psychology and the study of the embodied mind, the design of teaching environment with embodied cognition, and psychology and cognitive science. The research of embodied cognition in China is still in theoretical discussion, lacking empirical research. Thus, the interdisciplinary applications of embodied cognition in education and the theory of emotional personalization are potential issues in future research. The significance and value of this study tempts to summarize the hotspots and development trends in the field of embodied cognition in China on the basis of literature visualization with the help of scientific knowledge mapping technology, in order to provide some reference for researcher.
ABSTRACT
Book workshops are widely regarded as yielding important benefits for junior scholars; therefore, these intensive feedback sessions have proliferated in recent years. However, closer ...consideration suggests some important notes of caution. A wealth of additional suggestions does not necessarily improve a post-dissertation manuscript; instead, comments and criticisms advanced by senior experts may induce young authors to back away from or tone down innovative ideas or to address numerous additional factors and conditions, which can make their theory unwieldy and complicated. More important than the potential pitfalls for the first book itself are the heavy opportunity costs created by book workshops, which can jeopardize a junior colleague’s career advancement. After all, the substantial revisions arising from these feedback sessions take time away from article production and the design and initial research for a second major project. In these ways, overinvestment in the first book can hurt a young scholar’s chances at tenure time.
Neoliberalism and patriarchal norms have shaped the working conditions for student affairs professionals. This case study collected individual and focus group interviews, leveraging the experiences ...and situated knowledge of working mothers in student affairs to develop organizational guidelines for more equitable and unified work environments. By applying mamapreneurialism as a conceptual framework, this study sought to understand how working mothers in student affairs realize their personal and professional aspirations. Findings showed that student affairs mothers need centralized access to information and experience marginalization and power differences with supervisors compared to faculty. They also face structural inequality in the higher education workplace. Structural barriers, such as inadequate university infrastructure (e.g., lactation rooms and parking), complicated participants' abilities to navigate working conditions. Findings focus on recalibrating institutions to become more inclusive for all.
A partir da identificação de 1000 Dissertações e Teses (DT) em Ensino de Biologia, selecionamos estudos caracterizados como Pesquisas de Natureza Interventiva (PNI). Tomando como marco teórico um ...conjunto de autores dedicados a estabelecer reflexöes teóricas e metodológicas sobre as pesquisas desenvolvidas na área educacional, foi desenvolvida uma análise das informaçöes relativas ao delineamento metodológico desses trabalhos comparativamente a um esquema munido de critérios utilizados para definir diferentes modalidades nas quais o desenvolvimento da investigação caminhou ligado a alguma forma de açâo-intervenção. Os resultados indicam a existencia de diferentes modalidades de trabalhos dessa natureza, trazendo exemplos para ilustrar e caracterizar cada caso. Revelamos que em parte das DT há confusâo dos autores quanto ao design do trabalho de pesquisa desenvolvido, expressando, em certo sentido, a fragilidade teórico-metodológica caracterizadora de parte da produçâo academica na área. No final do artigo, destacamos o significativo número de PNI identificadas, apontando reflexöes para a tendencia no sentido de que os resultados das pesquisas sejam aplicados diretamente nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem em sala-de-aula (micro-contexto). Adicionalmente, indicamos também o baixo número de trabalhos de parcerias colaborativas e de pesquisa-açâo. Finalizamos o texto com algumas reflexöes sobre problemas merecedores de atençâo por parte dos pesquisadores quando pensamos nos rumos da área para os próximos anos.
This study identified emergent themes from the interview data of at-risk-for-completion doctoral candidates (N = 13; 59%), from a diverse demographic, who participated in a successful dissertation ...completion intervention program. The findings revealed four major themes including extrinsic factors, socioemotional, formal structures of the program, and personal development. The findings highlight the need for conscious processes used by vital leaders to develop program design in four key areas of leadership within a framework of open vital systems. Vital leadership acts as proxy agents to influence development of formal structures in the university leading to equity in educational opportunity for all students. Conclusions and parsimonious explicit implications are provided for doctoral program redesign focused on improving graduate student retention and completion rates for diverse student populations.
This paper examines the decision points over the course often years of development of an institutional repository. Specifically, the focus is on the impact and influence from the open-source ...community, the needs of the local institution, the role that team dynamics plays, and the chosen platform. Frequently, the discussion revolves around the technology stack and its limitations and capabilities. Inherently, any technology will have several features and limitations, and these are important in determining a solution that will work for your institution. However, the people running the system and developing the software, and their enthusiasm to continue work within the existing software environment in order to provide features for your campus and the larger open-source community, will play a bigger role than the technical platform. These lenses are analyzed through three points in time: the initial roll out of our institutional repository, our long-term running and maintenance, and eventual new development and why we made the decisions we made at each of those points in time.
Practice-based research is now widely accepted at doctoral level, and it is recognised that creative practice can be the mode, method, tool, object, subject and/or embodiment of research in the arts ...and humanities PhD. The growth of creative methods and arts-based methods also means that data is increasingly gathered through creative means in many social science and education doctorates. The doctoral contribution as thesis can therefore no longer be automatically assumed to be contained solely in a written text. This paper questions the extent to which research degree regulations and policies are reflecting and enabling the diversity of contemporary forms of knowledge articulation in practice-based research. Arising from my lived experience of supporting doctoral candidates to navigate regulations on the format and formatting of a submission, it draws on empirical research into research degree regulations at a number of universities in the United Kingdom, contextualised in relation to the literature. I reveal the assumptions and constraints embedded in regulatory practices and highlight ongoing concerns around the articulation and archiving of practice-based doctoral research.
It is an indisputable fact that technology is a part of our lives. It is known that research and education technologies are concentrated. By examining the articles and dissertations published in the ...field, the scope, strengths and weaknesses of the studies were determined. An important gap has been filled in to guide researches what kind of studies may be needed in the future. Many studies for this purpose were found in the literature. However, since similar studies dealing with educational technologies are outdated, this study is considered important in terms of gathering current research trends and results. The aim of this study is to analyse the articles published in the Scopus database on educational technologies and instructional technologies, thematically and methodologically. The study was designed by adopting a case study from qualitative research models. The sample has not been determined for postgraduate dissertations to be included in the study, and it was aimed to reach the whole universe. In this context, all articles have been accessed through the library system of the university in the Scopus database included. The keywords ‘educational technologies’ and ‘instructional technologies’ were used in the article search. The document types have been examined by year, by country, by authors, by field research and by place of publication.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to analyze the current state of knowledge of family businesses in tourism through a systematic review of international academic literature with an emphasis on ...Latin America.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper opted for a systematic review involving analyzing international academic documents, articles, dissertations and papers that presented both theoretical and empirical research results. The search was conducted from January to April 2019 on online databases and search engines.
Findings
Studies are concentrated in strategic planning and competitiveness. Most of them are published since 2014 by Ibero-American countries. Some features are coincident among the varied geographical contexts, as the importance of generational succession planning; search for family welfare throughout the business; and the existence of own capacities and resources. Besides, the owner's objectives and gender involvement differ in the research results of developed countries and emerging economies; some implications for Latin America are analyzed.
Originality/value
The family business has international economic relevance, especially in tourism. Still, the studies in this field are few, even when tourism implies processes and interactions that can influence the development of the companies that integrate their industry. In this way, a compilation of the recent works is carried out, in order to identify how the complex family dynamics with tourism are integrated into the studies, main contributions to the field and knowledge gaps.
