Case studies continue to be a signature teaching tool for developing leadership educators in a classroom setting. However, many of these cases tend to be generic and may limit student learning. In order to maximize the learning potential of case studies, we advocate for the use of peer-authored, real-to-life case studies written from a first-hand…

Gendered barriers that have traditionally impeded entry into entrepreneurship are lessening. Nonetheless, there is still a clear need to further encourage female students into an entrepreneurial career pathway. To do so, traditional classroom discourse that promotes the masculinised concept of the 'heroic' entrepreneur who experiences overnight…

With the intent of informing the practice of music teachers navigating "multi-musicality" in their classrooms, this qualitative study, employing case study and narrative research tools, investigates the experiences of three musical "boundary crossers"--professional musicians whose work traverses the popular-classical divide.…

The present work provides a review of two widely used approaches in educational research: action research and case study. Action research aims to improve educational practice by means of reflective cycles and shows variants according to a predominant paradigm, from technical to critical visions. A case study, described as an umbrella term, focuses…

"Educational Explanations" is a comprehensive study of the main philosophical questions that confront empirical educational researchers. The book outlines the sense in which empirical educational research pursues truth and sets out and defends an account of its task as the offering of explanations for the many educational problems that…

Bennett Reimer's "A Philosophy of Music Education" asserts that the nature and value of music education are determined primarily by the nature and value of music. Originally published in 1970 (with the third edition originally published in 2003), this text relates findings in the field of aesthetics to their implications for the practice…

Instead of disruptions, avoidance, and withdrawal, your learners could be participating, investing, and "driving" their learning experience. It's time to reimagine student engagement! Focused around three essential goals, "Reimagining Student Engagement" develops a new vocabulary for real classrooms, proposes an engagement…

Currently the design standards for single case experimental designs (SCEDs) are based on validity considerations as prescribed by the What Works Clearinghouse. However, there is a need for design considerations such as power based on statistical analyses. We compute and derive power using computations for (AB)[superscript k] designs with multiple…

Reflexive commitments tend to be lacking, particularly from the perspective of early career scholars. This is particularly true in relation to published research, but evident in doctoral studies exploring teachers work. Using principles of phenomenological reflexivity, this methodological paper explores the critical incidents that have come to…

In this case study, we focus on a particular University of the Arts London positive action intervention, the Women+ of Colour in Leadership Programme (W+CinL) developed by Creative Shift. The case study explores how taking a more equitable, asset-based approach supports the retention, attainment, and employability of Black, Asian and Minority…

To provide context surrounding the history of single-case research and to act as a benchmark for which future changes across the fields and disciplines that use single-case methods may be compared, we conducted this study to serve as an update and extension on the trends and prevalence of single-case research in the peer-reviewed literature. Our…

With the recent increase in the number of available options for families to consider when selecting a school, diverse publicly funded public schools are now competing for both students and funding. This study intended to contribute to the available research on the changes at inner-city schools during increased school choice options. The purpose of…

Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted as a…

This article reports on an ethnographic case study of the professional identity development of Mark--an English language teacher who identified as cisgender, gay, Catholic, white, and not wealthy. Using the lenses of intersectionality (e.g., Crenshaw, 1989, 1991) and "perezhivanie" (Vygotsky, 1999)--"the emotional and visceral…

Experiential learning is not a new concept to education. Experiential learning continues to empower learners to construct knowledge through the exploration of activities based on their physical and social environment, as well as individual's inner world and intuition. In this age of extreme climate change and environmental concerns, one important…
