About This Special Issue

Educational research is a discipline that can be examined at all levels and institutions as a measure to improve academic achievement, self-efficacy, leadership, equity, motivation, social-emotional learning, cognitive, and social development. To better understand how to meet the needs of learners, it is essential to evaluate quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches and their impact. Developments from these studies can aid in facilitating strategies to support the needs of learners.

The primary goal of this special issue is to explore educational research within STEM postbaccalaureate pathway programs. We invite contributions that explore educational research, with particular interest in the transition into graduate programs, STEM, social sciences, or higher education.

Through this special issue, we aim to explore descriptive, correlational, experimental, and exploratory research designs, which includes but is not limited to multidisciplinary studies. We welcome researchers from various disciplines to provide interdisciplinary perspectives on educational research. Your contributions will play a crucial role in advancing knowledge in this field.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

Self-directed learning
Education accessibility/Education inclusivity
Active learning
Educational leadership
Academic achievement
Self-efficacy
Leadership
Equity
Motivation
Social-emotional learning
