Core Competencies for Undergraduate Community-Engaged Researchers
Undergraduate community-engaged research (UCEnR) is a growing trend which VCU has proactively pursued by providing grants for UCEnR projects and assimilating UCEnR into interdisciplinary curricula. However, a definitive sense of core competencies for undergraduate community-engaged researchers has not yet been established. To that end, this literature review answers the question, What skills should UCEnR students have

Peer Effects in Austrian Schools
This study deals with educational production in Austria and is focused on the potential impact of schoolmates on students’ academic outcomes. We used PISA 2000 data to estimate peer effects for 15 and 16 year old students. The estimations yield substantial positive effects of the peer groups’ socioeconomic composition on student achievement. Furthermore, quantile regressions suggest peer effects to be asymmetric in favor of low-ability students, meaning that students with lower skills benefit more from being exposed to clever peers, whereas those with higher skills do not seem to be affected much. Social heterogeneity, moreover, has no big adverse effect on academic outcomes. These results imply considerable social gains of reducing stratification in educational settings.Peer effects, Education, PISA data

Emerging trends on the topic of Information Technology in the field of Educational Sciences: a bibliometric exploration
The paper presents a bibliometric analysis on the topic of Information
Technology (IT) in the field of Educational Sciences, aimed at envisioning the
research emerging trends. The ERIC data base is used as a consultation source;
the results were subjected to productivity by authors, journals, and term
co-occurrence analysis indicators for the period 2009-2013. The productivity of
Computers & Education, and Turkish Online Journal of Educational
Technology-TOJET, as well as the preceding authors from Canada, have been
emphasized. The more used terms are the following: Information technology,
foreign countries, educational technology, technology integration, and student
attitudes. Researches performed here seem to have a largely qualitative
character, highlighting computers and internet as the mostly explored
technological objects. The largest subject matter trend refers to the
integration of IT in the higher education learning context, and its incidence
over the teaching methods
