Enrollment management (EM) was established as an area of study about 50 years ago, yet the first definition of graduate enrollment management (GEM) only emerged in 2014. In the past decade, despite pressure to increase graduate enrollments to address institutions' budget challenges and impending undergraduate enrollment declines, few empirical…

This qualitative research uses an ecopedagogy and decolonial lens to explore how child-authors represented environmental educators as characters in ecofiction/climate fiction storybooks. Thirty storybooks authored by 10-15-year olds were thematically analyzed. Data from interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), reflections, and blogposts were…

Representations of diversity and otherness in cartoons offer metaphors for identity that can affect children's perceptions and attitudes towards the potential and challenges associated with various forms of disability. This contribution analyses a corpus of animations made up of feature films, series, and short films with a focus on how disability…

This paper reports a study of 10 post-secondary STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) instructors' beliefs about mathematical modelling and the role of mathematics in STEM coursework. The participants were selected from STEM disciplines that are atypical to the literature base (e.g. anthropology and geography), in order to extend…

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to identify teachers' tendencies towards professional development models. In line with the purpose of scale development, a survey model was preferred. The scale was designed to be applicable to teachers from various disciplines currently working in any institution…

Background: Makerspaces provide university engineering students with experience in creative hands-on design/build projects. They offer significant benefits for engagement, retention, and skill development for student users. Many university makerspaces rely on student workers. However, not much is known about how these student workers understand…

This paper begins by establishing the A+ Inquiry model as a theoretical lens for assessing needs related to program assessment workload by demonstrating its alignment with elements of five published frameworks associated with higher education assessment. Then, it uses the model as a frame of reference to explore faculty needs related to program…

As technology rapidly evolves, generative AI tools are increasingly integrated across various fields, including education. ChatGPT, a well-known language model developed by OpenAI, has gained significant importance in educational settings. This study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design and employed the Unified Theory of…

The purpose of the current study is to design, implement and evaluate a pedagogical model for skill training integrated with entrepreneurship for sustainability. In this regard, the nature of sustainability, entrepreneurship and integrated skill training, as well as the models of sustainability and entrepreneurship training developed in the…

The potential of immersive virtual reality (IVR) to deliver engaging occupational safety training has been established by previous research; however, to date, there have not been any pedagogical models to guide its implementation. This study's objective was to conceptualize a pedagogical model for IVR safety training by combining a…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about significant changes in our lives, making AI literacy a crucial endeavor for the future. Despite its growing importance in academia, there is limited empirical research on its impact on college students' higher order thinking skills (HOTS). The present study systematically and comprehensively explores…

Exemplars are key examples chosen to represent designated levels of competence or quality. This study attempts to explore the use of exemplars in a Chinese-English translation teaching context. It involved the teacher-researcher using three exemplars of different quality to help 31 third-year translation majors evaluate their own translation and…

Problem framing is an essential yet under-explored aspect of problem-based historical inquiry. This study investigated how tenth-grade students in one AP US History class framed an ill-structured historical causal reasoning problem. Data included students' written brainstorms, students' responses to open-ended interview questions, and…

The concept of a free body diagram is central to Mechanical Engineering. Beyond its correct layout, a series of analysis concepts in the development of this skill allows one to visualise, understand, and analyse mechanisms and other complex applications. The correct assessment of the skill goes beyond the simple application of a test because it is…

In this empirical study, we investigate "what" and "how" teachers in Dutch universities of applied sciences (UAS) think they contribute to the development of students' ethical compasses. Six focus groups were conducted with teachers across three programmes: Initial Teaching Education, Business Services, and Information and…
