Thesis By Publication Post by @shan__mason.

It's Summer and students are off class, so I'm doing my twice annual cleanup of the thesisbypublication.com website.

Please check it out!

We're also looking for examples, commentaries, and research on doctoral theses that include publications

Oh they have a firm grip on kids and parents here in Japan, and I'm talking high school rankings! 🧐

If you’re interested in thesis by publication (sometimes called thesis through publication) Shan’s site is invaluable. It was a terrific resource during my PhD project. Thanks, Shan!

【🇦🇺教師が去る教室の現実】

―教育現場で進む“尊敬”の崩壊と教員の悲鳴―

・教師の離職率が急増、背景に暴言・暴力・性的嫌がらせなど深刻な生徒の問題行動

・政府は生徒のいじめ対策を進めるが、教師の心身への影響やサポート不足が深刻

・授業以外の負担増加、コロナ後の変化、SNSの影響などで教員の心が限界に近づく

教職は単なる指導職ではなく、感情と責任が重なる専門職で、社会全体で尊重と支援が不可欠ですね。

Do you mind taking a look and letting me know if there's any activity there "from me"? Someone has accessed my account and changed the password, according to X themselves but they won't help because "you still have control of your account"

Putting a grant application together - finally getting back to some teacher retention work. Went looking for the impact of the framework I developed for my PhD. So surprised and humbled to find at least 25 studies in 9 countries that have adopted it☺️

Kristin Solli and I asked examiners about their processes. Our paper is out today Open Access in Issues in Educational Research, vol 35(1).
