... The year of study for the teacher trainees was preferred because it implies a second and last internship placement which is a good basis for comparison with the initial or debut placement and a stage of anticipation for the world of work as the next stage in the career journey for the target population. Teaching practice internship is a transition period during which university teacher trainees put the taught theoretical pedagogies into practice as they prepare for the world of work as teachers/instructors (Kiggundu & Nayimuli, 2009;Cohen, Manion, Morrison & Wyse, 2010;Chen et al., 2012). They were twenty-five in number and were both male and female, selected using purposive (Campbell et al., 2020;Rai & Thapa, 2015) and convenient (Emerson, 2015;Emerson, 2021;Farrokhi & Mahmoudi-Hamidabad, 2012) sampling techniques from the schools the corresponding author had been posted as a school practice supervisor, well aware of the potential bias this posed. ...

... The qualitative R&D study that the material and the "case" presented here originates from was designed as a participatory research study with an ethnographic design [39,40]. This means that the data consist of video observations and field notes from two ECEC units' everyday activities during two longer periods in each unit without deliberately interfering with the teachers' work or plans nor with the children. ...

... To answer the research question, the study employs an action research design. This is because it focuses on a specific practical problem in education, and according to various researchers [15,16,17], this approach is the most appropriate. It has been argued that action research is suitable when studying different attitudes and teaching methods [16]. ...

... International students attending Turkish universities in Eskişehir were chosen as the study sample for two main reasons. Firstly, selecting participants that had certain characteristics in common backgrounds was important (Cohen, Manion, & Morrison, 2011;Krueger & Cassey, 2009). In this research, the common experience of attending an institution was considered an essential characteristic since it was the main data to be analyzed. ...

... For non-hearing impaired athletes, the psychological resilience variable explained by 21.9% and the mental well-being variable explained by 38.3%. Cohen, Manion, and Morrison (2017) states that the effect size coefficient (f 2 ) has a low effect from 0.02 to 0.15, a medium effect from 0.15 to 0.50 and a high effect of 0.50 and above, respectively. According to these results, F I G U R E 2 Structural relationships in the context of hearing impaired and non-hearing impaired athletes. ...

... et al., 2011). However, that intentions are associated with prospective behavior does not necessarily mean that intentions cause or explain behavior (Cohen, Manion, & Morrison, 2011;Rhodes & Dickau, 2012). These meta-analytic findings were based on correlational prospective studies, which can lead to misleading conclusions about determinants of physical activity (Weinstein & Rothman, 2005). ...

... As a result, the study technique was designed to align with appropriate ethical standards. Adhering to ethical standards in research is critical for every study (Cohen et al., 2018). Conducting ethical research requires researchers to actively interpret these principles for their studies and adapting these ethical standards to the project's particular environment. ...

... The cornerstones of methodological rigour determine the accuracy and consistency of research outcomes. Validity involves ensuring that a study accurately measures what it claims to measure, such as a survey, questionnaire or experiment (Cohen et al., 2017). There are three types of validity: content validity, criteria-related validity and construct validity. ...

... The study adopted the descriptive multiple-case-study research design (Baxter and Jack 2008). This design allowed the researchers to access and gather relevant information/data through interviews and observations (Cohen et al. 2011;Creswell 2014;Yin 2014) from multiple study sites involving six nonindustrialized communities across Ghana. The purposive sampling procedure was adopted to recruit the participants for the study: ten mothers whose deaf children were of the ages of four to five years old. ...

... "Theory" may refer to any attempt at creating concepts that allows the researcher to explore logical relationships and causal connections between conceptual abstractions (Kettley, 2012, p. 9). In educational research, "theory" typically refers to statements that describe, explain, or predict, and that help researchers select, classify, and organize ideas, processes, and concepts (Cohen et al., 2018). However, there are many kinds of educational theories (e.g., empirical, normative, and critical), and theories serve multiple purposes (Cohen et al., 2018). ...
