Exploring research designs in social media research in higher education
The rapid integration of social media into higher education has transformed pedagogical practices, research dissemination, and academic collaboration, yet the methodological details of studies examining these developments remain underexplored. This systematic literature review addresses this gap by analysing 60 empirical studies (2022–2024) to map research designs used in studies examining social media use in higher education. Guided by the PRISM…
The AI-powered co-inquirer: A systematic review of ChatGPT for inquiry-based learning in STEAM education
To address the growing interest in, yet limited understanding of, ChatGPT-supported inquiry-based learning in STEAM education, this study systematically reviewed 24 empirical articles to identify current research trends, examine ChatGPT’s roles across the five inquiry phases, and analyze its advantages and challenges. The reviewed studies showed an uneven disciplinary distribution, with science receiving the most attention, whereas technology, th…
From individual to collective agency: Tracing a rural student’s development of learner agency in AI-supported learning environments
While prior research has acknowledged the importance of learner agency in technology-enhanced learning, most studies have focused on short-term, observable behaviors and individual-level accounts, with limited attention to the longitudinal, internal, and socially situated dimensions of agency development. Research has also paid limited attention to agency development among rural learners, whose experiences are shaped by distinct sociocultural and…
Cognitive and emotional appraisal linking learner–AI interaction to learning productivity in STEM education: A multigroup analysis
A Systematic Review of Teacher Prerequisites for Integrating Technology‐Supported Formative Assessment in K–12 STEM Education
As technology continues to grow in significance and popularity, a noticeable gap persists in understanding its potential to support formative assessment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classroom practices for K–12 students. This study systematically reviewed 39 empirical articles to identify the prerequisites that teachers should possess to use technology‐supported formative assessment in STEM classrooms. This study co…
The sustainability paradox: Rethinking digital technologies in education for a sustainable future
Digital technologies in education are frequently positioned as sustainability-enabling because they can reduce travel, paper and printing, and some on-campus energy and space requirements. However, their sustainability profile is more ambiguous when environmental impacts across energy use, devices, and data infrastructures are considered alongside social implications such as unequal access and capability. This opinion paper examines digital educa…
Exploring Social Media Use Among Academics: Through the Lens of Practice Architectures
This study presents a novel application of Stephen Kemmis' Practice Architectures framework, encompassing cultural‐discursive, material‐economic and social‐political arrangements, to investigate the information practices of academics on social media. Drawing upon a systematic literature review of 36 peer‐reviewed articles, the analysis elucidates the underlying patterns, motivations and contextual factors shaping social media engagement in academ…
Using Grounded Theory Method in Social Media Studies: A Scoping Review
With a growing number of users, social media is revolutionising communication, knowledge sharing, and interaction globally. It is increasingly attracting research interest as a discourse arena, data repository, and communication platform. Grounded theory, a qualitative social science research method, is gaining popularity in social media studies. This scoping review aims to map the grounded theory research in the field of social media. We used Le…
Funny or risky? Humour in health-related social media
Social media has emerged as a vital platform for health communication, facilitating audience engagement and disseminating health-related information. It offers opportunities to implement innovative approaches to help audiences acquire health knowledge, presenting a compelling alternative to traditional fear-based campaigns. The paper is part of a doctoral study exploring how Queensland Health uses social media to communicate with the public, prov…
Empowering STEM teachers’ professional learning through GenAI: The roles of task-technology fit, cognitive appraisal, and emotions
Longitudinal analysis of teacher self-efficacy evolution during a STEAM professional development program: A qualitative case study
Despite the widespread advocacy for the integration of arts and humanities (A&H) into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education on an international scale, teachers face numerous obstacles in practically integrating A&H into STEM teaching (IAT). To tackle the challenges, a comprehensive five-stage framework for teacher professional development programs focussed on IAT has been developed. Through the use of a qualitative ca…
Systematic-narrative hybrid literature review: A strategy for integrating a concise methodology into a manuscript
Attempting to build a house without a blueprint could result in a fundamentally unsound structure. A thorough investigation of a building's foundation is essential to assess its quality and fitness for purpose. This is also true of literature reviews which should be constructed on the foundation of a well-developed methodology that clearly outlines the search strategy, inclusion/exclusion criteria, sources of literature, and information synthesis…
How do mathematics interest and self-efficacy influence coding interest and self-efficacy? A structural equation modeling analysis
Glitches and hitches: Sessional academic staff viewpoints on academic integrity and academic misconduct
Increasing incidents of academic dishonesty are a problem for universities globally. The traditional approach to dealing with academic dishonesty has been to detect and punish, which may not be the best solution.This study explored the perceptions of sessional teaching staff (a growing but often neglected workforce) on academic integrity and misconduct issues at an Australian university. Findings from the focus groups revealed a deep-seated conce…
Supervisory feedback to postgraduate research students: A literature review
Feedback is a complex socio-cultural construct, utilising various modalities over the lifespan of a research candidature. This study reports findings from a review of global literature on supervisory feedback to postgraduate research students. Three focus questions guided the review: students’ problems in receiving feedback, perceptions of positive feedback strategies, and potential improvements to the feedback process. The review method combined…
An Overview of the Common Elements of Learning Management System Policies in Higher Education Institutions
Learning management systems form an integral part of the learning environments of most universities and support a wide range of diverse activities and operations. However, learning management systems are often regulated by institutional policies that address the general use of Information Technology and Communication services rather than specific learning management system policies. Hence, we propose that learning management system environments a…
Transitioning to E-Learning during the Covid-19 pandemic: How have Higher Education Institutions responded to the challenge?
Back to the Classroom: Educating Sessional Teaching Staff about Academic Integrity
The Use of Case Study Design in Learning Management System Research: A Label of Convenience
Case study design is often characterized as a poorly applied and understood approach to conduct research into information systems. This literature review examined 28 empirical studies of Learning Management Systems (LMS) that were self-declared as case studies. This paper's main aim was to establish whether these studies actually applied case study techniques or simply utilized the term 'case study' as a label of convenience. Alarmingly, more tha…
