Form flows function: Learner‐centered game Re‐design in a STEM classroom

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐designing games facilitates interest‐driven learning and immerses learners in systems thinking. However, there are limited studies exploring how the form and function of tabletop games influence learners' design decisions and learning experiences. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed‐methods study in a STEM classroom in western Canada.

The doctoral journey as decolonial praxis: Self‐formation of Global South students in UK higher education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous research concerning Global South doctoral students in the United Kingdom has mainly situated their experiences within adaptationist paradigms, emphasising cultural adjustment and assimilation into Western academic norms. Such studies often depict students as passive recipients, overlooking their agency and the transformative potential

Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...
