- Understanding subjective perspectives and lived experiences of different stakeholders can improve pupils’ learning environment in compulsory school settings. Q methodology is an inherently mixed method approach and regarded as the basis for the science of subjectivity. The present paper reviewed recent Q methodological publications in compulsory education research. Seventy-four studies reporting from context in twenty countries met the inclusion criteria and showed a wide-ranging and diverse application of the research methodology. The subjectivity of teachers, pupils and others were explored on topics related to the science of learning and development and teacher characteristics. This review showcases how Q methodology is applied to access subjectivity in educational research and provides an overview of Q methodological find- ings and implications for the field. The wide range of the application of Q studies in compulsory education attests to the flexibility and suitability of this research method in educational research.
