Scholarly investigations continue to explore academics' behaviours towards writing in an effort to optimise research writing productivity. One such suite of behaviours which has received limited focus from previous investigations is known as 'enabling behaviours' - behaviours used to intentionally create environments that enable and optimise…

The curriculum has been far less discussed in higher education than in school education. Indeed, analyses of the literature suggest that the curriculum has only really become a matter for sustained discussion and research in higher education in the present century. This article synthesises the results of a review of the published research…

As academic research evolves into distinct identities of specialised knowledge, institutional and paradigmatic barriers are formed between research teams, which demand enhanced research collaboration and cross-fertilisation of ideas. Drawing on the concept of cross-fertilisation, this paper adds original contributions to literature on research…

In this era of knowledge-intensive and innovation-focused economies, university missions are pivoting. Universities need to consider new and varied ways of working, including developing key partnerships, collaborations, and engagements with various stakeholders and end users. This paper presents an integrative literature review providing insight…

This study aims to explore the experiences of academics and students at undergraduate programmes at two schools of business, one in Australia and the other in Finland, regarding the process of research-based learning (RBL) and the accompanying development of students' skills. Employing an ethnographic case study method, data is collected through…

When Indigenous and non-Indigenous postgraduate research students start researching Indigenous topics, how can we best prepare them for the task ahead? In this article, I describe the approach taken by one regional Australian university to support research students with Indigenous topics through a Master of Philosophy (Indigenous). Drawing on…

This paper reports on an innovation of allowing higher education students to select their preferred mode of feedback. The aim was to investigate how a sample of 35 postgraduate students perceived and experienced self-selected feedback mode (audio, video or written) as part of an online research subject. Participants were invited to complete a…

Teaching biomedical technology is critical for the success of research of both domestic and international postgraduate students (DPSs and IPSs). However, difference in the learning characteristics between the two cohorts as well as appropriate teaching modality remains largely unexplored. In the present work, we studied these issues by recruiting…

This study explores the impact of Generative AI tools on researchers and research in the context of higher education in Saudi Arabia. An online survey questionnaire was used to collect data on higher education students' perspectives (N = 505). The findings indicate that participants hold positive attitudes and possess a high level of awareness…

Peer learning is defined as a reciprocal learning relationship among peers for their mutual benefit. This form of learning is now commonly used at undergraduate level within Higher Education internationally. However, less is known about how peer learning pedagogies can support the education and development of doctoral researchers. Initial evidence…

Scientific and technological initiation programs are developed to introduce students to scientific research and technological development. We use the term undergraduate research (UR) to refer to both initiation modalities. Our study aimed to evaluate undergraduate students' research experience, self-perceptions, and scientific production during…

The alignment with the Bologna process and the subsequent creation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) framework, principles, and guidelines have significantly changed Spanish doctoral education. In this article, we identify the critical drivers for that change in Spain and address their implications for doctoral education summarised…

Every student has the potential to change the world by making a significant contribution to society. Experiences in higher education significantly shape the development of this potential, for better or worse, leading to interventions to support student success. Among such interventions, academic coaching has been widely used; however, how do we…

The focus of this case study is the question, 'How can research integrity be taught in higher education?' I will share my experience of teaching this topic over the past three years, organising the various dimensions of research integrity under the broader theme of integrity in science, specifically in terms of norms, functions, and unity. Norms…

Originally developed in the US educational context, the student engagement concept has become increasingly recognised internationally. It suggests a particular approach to the evaluation of higher education quality and institutional practices for enhancing student growth. However, the lack of cross-national research on student engagement patterns…
