The Carnegie Classifications have played a key role in shaping higher education, and they are foundational in a variety of research and policy uses nationwide. Over time, public perceptions of the classifications have become increasingly focused on the research designations despite efforts to expand on descriptions of other types of institutions.…

Higher education institutions are increasingly aware of the importance of inclusive assessment, yet large-scale implementations of inclusive assessment policies and practices are rare. Why is it so tricky to design assessment that inclusively considers the diversity of students? This article argues that whilst trying to solve the problem of…

Underlying thematic analysis are a few fundamental human cognitive processes, such as categorizing, prototyping and metaphorical mapping. By unpacking these basic processes of human cognition, this paper hopes to provide a cognitive basis for thematic analysis as a foundational method in data analysis for qualitative research. In particular, it…

Balancing the contextual and universal reporting of workplace-based work-integrated learning (P-WIL) to capture, examine and explain sector-wide impacts, remains an unresolved challenge within Australian Higher Education. To address this, an action-research project was tasked with developing a prototype data schema that groups the typical elements…

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the typology of Turkic words to examine the specifics of the way students learn Turkic languages in higher education institutions. A hypotheticdeductive, survey, and comparative method was used for the study. Results showed that the learners have trouble constructing oral discourse and do not…

Students often see college courses as the presentation of disconnected facts, especially in the life sciences. Student-created Structure Mechanism/Relationship Function (SMRF) models were analyzed to understand students' abilities to make connections between genotype, phenotype, and evolution. Students were divided into two sections; one section…

Whilst contemporary ideas of feedback provide multiple insights into how feedback should be processed and enacted by students in a recipient role, little attention has been paid to understand what it takes for students to provide effective feedback to others. This conceptual paper draws on literature from peer feedback and feedback literacy to…

The business of pedagogy, edu-business, has grown into a colossal global industry. As the phenomenon of marketisation is also intertwined with academic communities and actively contributes to the formulation of institutional culture, it is essential to examine the perceptions and understandings of future teachers and education experts regarding…

Advances in science are often associated with pre-eminent research universities. Policy makers and those who collaborate with university researchers may assume that this advantage generalizes to all types of research. This analysis explores whether this generalization applies to research in emerging disciplines. We do so by examining the…

We introduce a new metric--the classification power--to examine the effectiveness of postsecondary mathematics placement policies. This metric addresses the methodological challenges of contextualizing the effectiveness of a single placement policy and comparing the effectiveness of multiple placement policies across different student populations.…

The role that cultural intelligence plays in university students' psychological functioning within multicultural contexts is of great significance. Despite its importance, limited research has been conducted to investigate the relationship between cultural intelligence and university students' well-being. This study aims to fill this gap by…

The "k"-means clustering method, while widely embraced in college student typology research, is often misunderstood and misapplied. Many researchers regard "k"-means as a near-universal solution for uncovering homogeneous student groups, believing its success hinges primarily on the selection of an appropriate "k."…

In order to make informed instructional decisions, teachers need psychological knowledge about relational categories. We conducted two 2 x 2 experiments to examine effective designs for learning relational categories in the context of teacher education. In both experiments, a blocked compared to an interleaved example format was more beneficial…

Higher education institutions have consistently strived to provide students with top-notch education. To achieve better outcomes, machine learning (ML) algorithms greatly simplify the prediction process. ML can be utilized by academicians to obtain insight into student data and mine data for forecasting the performance. In this paper, the authors…

This study is devoted to the issue of closing the gap between the requirements of the market of remote investment entrepreneurship and the market of higher education due to the determination and use of the legal mechanisms of their regulation. To tackle the research problem, we use several concepts, theories, and approaches, including the concept…
