Innovation and creativity in organizations are pivotal to survival
as human activity fuses with technological domains. Exploiting the
potential of technology to use it in innovative and creative ways
that change how and what humans do for the better lies within the
influence of the andragogical leader. Leading by example, when
andragogical leaders model the use of technology, they also model
creativity, innovation, and failure as a positive learning
experience. Andragogical leaders should model effective technology
use daily. The Handbook of Research on Andragogical Leadership and
Technology in a Modern World provides diverse perspectives,
experiences, theories, and philosophies related to andragogical
leadership and technology across all levels of education. Covering
key topics such as transformational leadership, learning pedagogy,
and instructional technology, this major reference work is ideal
for policymakers, managers, industry professionals, researchers,
academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
The philosophical foundation of emancipatory knowledge lies in
critical theory. In this paradigm, instrumental and communicative
knowledge are not rejected but are limited. If we do not question
current scientific and social theories and accepted truths, we may
never realize how we are constrained by their inevitable
distortions and errors. Without the possibility of critical
questioning of ourselves and our beliefs, such constraining
knowledge can be accepted by entire cultures. The research paradigm
that is relevant for constructing this kind of knowledge is the
critical paradigm. Data are always qualitative and have specific
methods of research. Quantitative research unquestionably has a
place and is fundamental to scientific advances, but qualitative
research delves into what it is to be human. Through qualitative
research, we gain insight into communicative knowledge, its rich
nature, and the mechanisms by which communicative knowledge is
formed and interpreted. Qualitative research enables the necessary
exploration and critical analysis of social systems and uncovers
and facilitates critical reflections on the inevitable assumptions,
which shape social behavior and interaction, thereby stimulating
and empowering change. Promoting Qualitative Research Methods for
Critical Reflection and Change provides readers with a
comprehensive array of qualitative research methods, which can be
implemented in a variety of contexts for a variety of purposes. The
chapters explore the impact, uses, and methodologies for
qualitative research across various fields of research. This book
is ideal for practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students
interested in the use of qualitative research methods.
Higher education institutions are, more so than other
organizations, deeply complex, and they present a unique challenge
to their leaders and administrators. The unique complexities of
higher education call for governance founded on thoughtful
consideration of leadership practices, theory, and styles that
reflect the values of the institution and its mission. Embedded in
a rapidly changing society, the future of higher education
leadership and administration is necessarily dynamic and demands a
strong ethical core to guide research, knowledge production, and
organizational behavior. The Handbook of Research on Ethical
Challenges in Higher Education Leadership and Administration is a
cutting-edge research publication that examines leadership ethics
that higher education institutions must employ to be proactive,
visionary, and ethically sound. The publication covers the
importance of leadership ethics in higher education as well as the
foundation for developing frameworks in which to ground the
presence of leadership ethics in higher education. Featuring a wide
range of topics such as distance education, free speech, and
leadership, this book is ideal for librarians, academicians,
administrators, researchers, education professionals, policymakers,
and students.

In the twenty-first century, learning and the definition of
education is changing. New digital, online, and social tools have
the ability to transform the classroom and engage learners like
never before. In the midst of this technological revolution, it is
crucial for educators and administrators to be able to gauge the
impact of digital tools on learners in a variety of settings. The
Handbook of Research on Positive Scholarship for Global K-20
Education is a critical scholarly resource that examines the
collaboration of education and technology within disciplinary
fields. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics, such as
experiential education, improvisational learning, and andragogy,
this publication is geared towards academicians, practitioners, and
researchers seeking current research on all areas of education and
e-learning.
Medical breakthroughs and adult literacy have made it easier than
ever before to acquire the knowledge, skills, and values needed to
lead a productive and satisfying life, yet many Americans have
difficulty understanding and acting upon the health information
they acquire. The Handbook of Research on Adult and Community
Health Education: Tools, Trends, and Methodologies presents
educational and social science perspectives on the state of the
healthcare industry and the information technologies surrounding
it. It presents a collection of the latest research on methods,
programs, and procedures practiced by health literate societies.
This groundbreaking compilation provides cutting-edge content for
researchers, social scientists, academicians, and adult educators
and learners interested in how available technologies affect our
health today.
Baby boomers that assumed leadership at all levels of education
have now retired. Many pre-pandemic educational theories and
practices proved to be ineffective and, in some cases, yielded
negative results. Leaders at all levels are unable to resolve
chronic issues such as race discrimination that has permeated
throughout US campuses. Research methods in educational leadership
have had no breakthroughs. In both educational leadership and
research methods, U.S. universities have been surpassed by Asian
rising economies including China and India. To combat these issues,
this new publication addresses educational leadership issues and
encourages innovative research methods at all levels of education.
