Discussions of 'diversity' in higher education are often limited to structural diversity (i.e. access to higher education based on demographic variables), which is just one form of diversity that impacts student learning outcomes. Others include curricular diversity (a measure of the interdisciplinary of the coursework) and interactional diversity…

This study examines the relationship between higher education students' perceived stress levels, and their problem solving skills, awareness levels and academic achievement. Also, the mediating role of mindfulness levels and problem-solving skills on the association between perceived stress level and academic achievement was investigated. The…

This systematic review investigates the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools on developing academic skills in higher education. Analysing 158 studies published between 2021 and 2024, it focuses on the impact of GenAI tools on the development of cognitive, technical and interpersonal skills. The results reveal that 94% of the…

The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Inner Development Goals argue that addressing the world's challenges in the 21st century requires people to develop diverse skills. On the one hand, anyone, regardless of age and educational level, can develop multifaceted, transdisciplinary, and integrated competencies to address…

Educators have recognized the importance of providing a realistic learning environment which helps learners to not only comprehend learning content, but also to link the content to practical problems. Such an environment can hence foster problem-solving skills in nursing training. However, when learners interact in a virtual environment with rich…

While educational games have been increasingly popular in education, insufficient studies have comprehensively reviewed their effectiveness. To complement this missing link, this study explored game-based learning outcomes including academic achievements, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities, knowledge, learning efficiency, skills,…

Much academic development work, whether it be student, academic staff, institutional or curriculum development, is undertaken from an affirmative rather than a transformative approach (Luckett, L., and S. Shay. 2020. "Reframing the Curriculum: A Transformative Approach." "Critical Studies in Education" 61 (1): 50-65). To be…

The case study is a classic tool used in several educational programs that emphasizes solving of illdefined problems. Though it has been used in classroom-based teaching and educators have developed a rich repertoire of methods, its use in online courses presents different challenges. To explore factors that develop skills in solving ill-defined…

The computer and internet technologies which show an immediate change and development, show its effect in educational field as well as all fields of life. One of the implementation areas of computer and internet technologies is the computer games. While the computer games provide recreational time to the users, it may provide environments for…

In their 2011 study "Academically Adrift," Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa present considerable evidence that undergraduates in US colleges and universities make surprisingly little progress in their first two years of college. While acknowledging the force of this argument, the authors ask whether Arum and Roksa's evidence--about students'…

The need to address the substantial inequities that exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in higher education is widely recognised. Those factors that affect the performance of Indigenous students in tertiary education have been reasonably well documented across different institutions, disciplines, and programme levels but there…

A Graphing Calculator (GC) is one of the most portable and affordable technology in mathematics education. It quickens the mechanical procedure in solving mathematical problems and creates a highly interactive learning environment, which makes learning a seemingly difficult subject, easy. Since research on the use of GCs for the teaching and…

Background: Historically, significant advances in scientific understanding have followed advances in measurement and observation. As the resolving power of an instrument increased, so have gains in the understanding of the phenomena being observed. Modern interactive systems are potentially the new "microscopes" when they are…

Developmental mathematics is one of the most serious barriers to educational and economic achievement. Over 60 percent of all students entering community colleges in the United States are required to complete remedial/developmental courses as a first step towards earning associate's or bachelor's degrees. Then, to earn a degree,…

The aim of this study is to examine the mathematical problem-solving beliefs and problem-solving success levels of primary school teacher candidates through the variables of academic success and gender. The research was designed according to the mixed methods technique in which qualitative and quantitative methods are used together. The working…
