What are the essential components of a doctorate program in mathematics education or didactics of mathematics concerning research, coursework, seminars, and collaboration? The purpose of this study was to learn from doctoral students across the world about how their programs in mathematics education are preparing them for research and teaching in mathematics education; how their programs provide academic research and writing support; and what they view as missing from their experiences. Online surveys, along with follow-up interviews from a subset of survey respondents, indicated that doctoral students from 17 different countries stressed the importance of international collaboration, examining fundamental theories of learning mathematics, and identified a need for more support with academic writing.

This presentation explores various transformations that inform Deaf Studies research, ranging from transformations in deaf networks to larger sign language networks and transformations in applied linguistics, society, and language ideologies, and the related potential impact on sign language policy and revitalisation. After discussing some new research lenses in Deaf Studies, such as visual methods, the presentation suggests some ways forward for Deaf Studies in terms of research priorities and rights discourses.

The purpose of this study was to learn from university faculty with a doctorate in mathematics education from across the world about how programs in mathematics education should prepare doctoral students for research and teaching in mathematics education. Online survey responses indicated that 99 mathematics education university faculty from 33 different countries stressed the importance of providing doctoral students with opportunities to examine and compare fundamental theories of learning mathematics; examine current and historical research in the field of mathematics education; and develop broad and deep knowledge of the big ideas ages 2-20 years (i.e., grades preK-14) mathematics.

This special edition is dedicated to the research of Professor Cornelia Roux. The articles captured in this edition are contributions from some of her scholarly friends, nationally and internationally, the doctoral candidates she has delivered over the years, and her postdoctoral fellows. The works reflects the main themes in Roux’s research over the years and illustrates the evolution it has undergone, i.e. moving from Religious Studies to Human Rights in Education for diverse cultural, religious and gender contexts.

Educational institutions in higher education encounter different thresholds when scaling up to institution-wide learning analytics. This doctoral research focuses on designing a model of capabilities that institutions need to develop in order to remove these barriers and thus maximise the benefits of learning analytics.

In de eerste twee delen van het proefschrift vindt u informatie over online opvoedingsondersteuning in het algemeen. Welke studies zijn daarover gepubliceerd? Hoe zien de onderzochte online programma’s voor ouders eruit? Welke kenmerken hebben ze? Hoe effectief zijn ze? In de drie andere delen gaan we dieper in op het eenmalig e-mailconsult. Er zijn veel organisaties in Nederland die ouders de gelegenheid bieden om een advies per e-mail te ontvangen, vaak via een web-formulier of een button op een website. Kunnen beroepskrachten deze vorm van online communicatie gebruiken om ouders te begeleiden naar méér empowerment? In deze brochure leest u een beknopte samenvatting van het proefschrift.

Objectives This exploratory study was conducted to find out how well the concept of evidence-based research (EBR) is known among European health researchers with substantial clinical research experience, and which barriers affect the use of an EBR approach. The concept of EBR implies that researchers use evidence synthesis to justify new studies and to inform their design. Design A cross-sectional exploratory survey study. Setting and participants The survey was conducted among European health researchers. Respondents included 205 health researchers (physicians, nurses, dentists, allied health researchers and members of other professions involved in health research) with a doctoral degree or at least 5 years of research experience. Primary and secondary outcome measures The primary outcome measures were the level of awareness of the concept of EBR and the presence of barriers affecting the use of an EBR approach. Secondary outcome measures include correlations between sociodemographic characteristics (eg, profession) and awareness of EBR. Results We discovered that 84.4% of the respondents initially indicated their awareness of the concept of EBR. Nevertheless, 22.5% of them concluded that, on reading the definition, they either do not know or do not fully comprehend the concept of EBR. The main barriers affecting the use of an EBR approach were related to organisational issues, such as not being attributed resources (30.5% of the respondents), time (24.8%) or access to implement it (14.9%). Conclusions Despite the limitations, this study clearly shows that ongoing initiatives are necessary to raise awareness about the importance of implementing the EBR approach in health research. This paper contributes to a discussion of the issues that obstruct the implementation of the EBR approach and potential solutions to overcome these issues, such as improving the knowledge and skills necessary to practice the EBR approach.
