AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH BASED ON CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
Authors: Ni’ma RASHID Bushra
Published: May 2023

Critical discourse analysis in educational research has improved our collective knowledge of educational research, teaching, and learning processes, as well as the historical, social, and political aspects that affect those processes. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a theory that studies spoken and written texts to uncover the discursive origins of power, dominance inequity, and bias in an empirical analysis of education research. It assesses critically the preservation and replication of these discursive sources within certain social, political, and historical settings. The conventional technique in educational research has many problems with empirical analysis. In this paper, we suggested using a Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) approach for efficient empirical analysis in the field of education. The K-means clustering algorithm is used to preprocess the educational data. The findings are presented in the following order: the many definitions of MDA, theories of education included in MDA frameworks, the link between MDA and context, the issue of methodologies, and reflexivityrelated concerns. The results show how MDA frameworks are being reshaped as a result of educational researchers using them in educational research..

Tukanobasis huamantincoae sp. n. (holotype ♂: Peru, Loreto Región [MUSM]) is described and illustrated. Males of T. huamantincoae can be distinguished from T. corbeti by the presence of postocular spots and antehumeral stripes, the absence of apical brown wingspots, smaller number of postnodals, shorter CuA, vein descending from quadrangle not forming straight line to wing margin, pterostigma in HW distally distinctly yellow, S8–10 orange/red, cerci more strongly curved and with apical blunt appendix, genital ligula with triangular lateral lobes and overall smaller body dimensions. With the description of this second species of Tukanobasis it becomes clear that some characters previously attributed to the genus are species-specific, requiring an updated generic characterization.
