- It is speculated that the Covid- 19 Pandemic has changed the future of work emphasizing hybrid solutions and networking. Understanding how distance education or hybrid models can be sustainable at the K-12 level is therefore of relevance to better prepare youth for a future world of work and sustainable development. The purpose of this paper is to present findings from phase two of the qualitative case study to examine more in-depth the ways in which a private school adapted it’s educational programming using technology-supported systems to innovate and maintain attractive quality education. Data were gathered from interviews, focus groups and video footage. The Digital Culture model was used as an analytical framework to examine the data from four dimension: pedagogy, communication, organizational systems, and technology.

- This study contributes to research on Quality in Education and examines what possibilities now exist for schools to reinvent and transform using technology-based systems as part of the equation. It is speculated that the pandemic has changed the future of work emphasizing hybrid solutions and networking. The purpose of this article is to present findings from phase two of the qualitative case study to examine what happened to a private school when it went “hybrid on a dime” to maintain attractive quality education.

- The global COVID 19 pandemic created a challenge for organizations and schools worldwide that raised fundamental questions about the degree to which they are sustainable. Some schools struggled to adapt quickly to the needs of their stakeholders while others saw opportunity in the moment to create and innovate to generate new value for their customers and increase attractive quality. Sustainability can be defined as the responsiveness of a living system to change in its environment (Snyder and Snyder, 2021) and responsiveness as the quality of reacting quickly and positively. When faced with the pandemic, schools and organizations around the world were put to the test on how responsive they could be to changes in their complex environments and this turbulent time in history has forced educational leaders to ask how schools can create more sustainable practices. This paper presents a phenomenological study which examined what school leaders did to sustain attractive quality during the pandemic, specifically by evaluating responsiveness as a core capability. Findings were explored to better understand responsiveness and ask what lessons can be learned that will help inform a framework for developing sustainable quality in education.

#EEGManyLabs: Investigating the replicability of influential EEG experiments

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is growing awareness across the neuroscience community that the replicability of findings about the relationship between brain activity and cognitive phenomena can be improved by conducting studies with high statistical power that adhere to well-defined and standardised analysis pipelines. Inspired by recent efforts from the psychological sciences, and with the desire to examine some of the foundational findings using electroencephalog-raphy (EEG), we have launched #EEGManyLabs, a large-scale international collaborative replication effort. Since its discovery in the early 20th century, EEG has had a profound in-fluence on our understanding of human cognition, but there is limited evidence on the replicability of some of the most highly cited discoveries. After a systematic search and se-lection process, we have identified 27 of the most influential and continually cited studies in the field. We plan to directly test the replicability of key findings from 20 of these studies in teams of at least three independent laboratories. The design and protocol of each replication effort will be submitted as a Registered Report and peer-reviewed prior to data collection. Prediction markets, open to all EEG researchers, will be used as a forecasting tool to examine which findings the community expects to replicate. This project will update our confidence in some of the most influential EEG findings and generate a large open access database that can be used to inform future research practices. Finally, through this international effort, we hope to create a cultural shift towards inclusive, high-powered multi-laboratory collaborations. (c) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Elections and reform : The adoption of civil service systems in the US states

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Most government bureaucracies in developed countries use civil service systems. What accounts for their adoption? We develop and test a model of bureaucratic reforms under repeated partisan competition. In the model, two political parties composed of overlapping generations of candidates compete for office. Under a spoils system, an incumbent politician can either continue to politicize the bureaucracy, which allows her to direct benefits to voters in a way that will increase her electoral prospects, or she can insulate the bureaucracy, which prevents all future winners from using the bureaucracy for electoral advantage. Our main result is that politicization persists when incumbents expect to win, and insulation takes place when they expect to lose. We test this hypothesis using data from the adoption of civil service reforms across the U.S. states.The predictions of the model are consistent with the empirical patterns leading up to the implementation of the general civil service reforms. Using both state and city level data, we observe an increase in partisan competition prior to the reforms.
