  • Mapping Case-Based Learning Research from 2014 to 2024: a Bibliometric and Network Analysis

    Abstract Case-based learning (CBL) is a globally recognized pedagogical approach known forfostering critical thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and active engagementamong learners. Despite its implementation across multiple educational levels and disciplines worldwide, the global research landscape of CBL remains underexplored. Toaddress this gap, a comprehensive overview is needed to map the evolution of CBLresearch, delineate its geographical…

  • International Boundary Organisationsand the Knowledge-Governance Interface

    Abstract Deliberation on Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) for global grand challengestakes place within International Organisations, where complexity, uncertainty, andvalue divergence complicate traditional notions of the science-policy interface. Thisthesis argues that the Knowledge-Governance Interface (KGI) better captures thereciprocal and power-laden relations between knowledge and decision making. Itdevelops an analytical framework for studying KGIs within International…
