Taking the collective as the unit-of-analysis, we showed that variations occurred in the salience of facilitators’ self-perceptions, beliefs, goals, and action possibilities. These variations occurred within and across their multiple roles including learner, teacher, researcher, middle leader, and peer roles, and were triggered mainly by the (1) in/compatibility of facilitators’ pedagogical beliefs with PD goals and activities, (2) un/confidence in the facilitator role, and (3) absence/presence of institutional support. We suggest that the PD program provides a useful model for professional learning in Higher Education contexts, and that facilitators’ role identities are important tools worthy of further support and exploration.KEYWORDS: Role identitydiscipline-specific facilitatorprofessional developmenthigher educationQatar AcknowledgementsOpen Access funding provided by the Qatar National Library.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Code availabilityNot applicable.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Qatar University [grant number QUCP-CED-2021-1].Notes on contributorsYoumen ChaabanYoumen Chaaban, Ph.D. is a Research Associate Professor at the Education Research Center, at the College of Education, Qatar University.

These differences may be caused by factors related to the student or by those related to the school the student belongs to. The aim of this work is to identify the variables causing the differences in the mathematical performance of the Spanish students. Taking into account its hierarchical structure, a methodology based on the two-level multilevel regression has been applied to the Spanish data of the PISA 2018 study. According to our results, the socioeconomic and cultural index, the gender of the student, the repeater status, being immigrant, the language spoken at home and the student-teacher ratio have a significant effect on the mathematical performance of the students.KEYWORDS: Mathematical performanceeducational assessmentmultilevel analysisPISA Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementPISA data are publicly available (http://www.oecd.org/pisa/data/)Additional informationFundingThis work was partially supported by the Faculty of Education, Economics and Technology Ceuta of the University of Granada.Notes on contributorsDavid Molina-MuñozDavid Molina-Muñoz is Assistant Professor at the Department of Didactics of Mathematics at the University of Granada.

This paper uses a structured review to examine causal evidence from research worldwide on the impact of finance-based interventions, including extra funding for school places, cash transfers and incentives to improve attainment in schools. The best evidence suggests that monetary incentives paid directly to students or families are the most effective strategy for raising attainment in less developed school systems. However, cash incentives may not be as effective in developed countries, where they are more useful for changing behaviour, such as completing homework, or attending classes, but not for improving attainment. This may be because students in developed countries already know how to complete homework, but may not know how to improve their test scores. The evidence for other approaches is less clear due to the lack of strong research in those areas.","PeriodicalId":47025,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research and Evaluation","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135013371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the relationship between HRM practices, trust, knowledge sharing and academic research output in Saudi Arabian universities. The study design supports the application of both exploratory and explanatory (mixed-method) approaches in examining the relationship between HRM practices and academic research output. Although the results suggest a positive relationship between HRM practices and academic research output, trust and knowledge sharing act as mediators. This study adds to the literature on higher education management, particularly from the Middle East Region – an under-researched area in education management research. Theoretically, this study contributes to understanding the relationship between HRM practices and academic research output in a higher education context.
