Background: Given the increasing number of researchers engaging in engineering education research (EER) globally, there is intensifying interest in researcher development. Purpose: This study systematically reviewed the literature guided by the research question--"What are the key factors and how do they influence the development of…

To balance the theoretical knowledge garnered by students in higher education institutions (HEIs) with the competencies required by the industry, researchers have suggested the concerted input of communities of practice (i.e., construction practitioners). This can be achieved through practitioners' provision of instructors' course-support needs…

Objective: To drive the development and improvement of college student activist support interventions via the examination of the relationship between college student activists' labor and their subjective well-being (SWB). Participants: A purposeful sample of 14 U.S. college student activists. Methods: An interpretive, constructivist qualitative…

Background: Numerous strategies have been applied to combat flat or declining social responsibility (SR) attitudes of undergraduate students in STEM fields. This paper presents the results of a five-year, mixed methods longitudinal study tracking a cohort of undergraduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Drawing on the Professional…

This study explores the promotion of ethical behavior through intercultural education via a narrative inquiry research design. Seven international students from Madagascar, Libya, Turkmenistan, Thailand, and Malaysia participated, providing diverse perspectives on their experiences. The participants' narratives were analyzed through the lenses of…

This modified Delphi study identifies counselor educators' individual and collective faculty unit characteristics that help and hinder students' development of therapeutic presence.

The growing gap in soft skills among Moroccan undergraduate university students is a pressing concern. This study examined the impact of a blended learning model intervention on soft skills development in this population. A systematically chosen sample of 42 participants, selected from a pool of 400 undergraduate university students, was…

Reflection is an important tool to help preservice teachers (PSTs) develop the skills and competence needed for effective teaching. Written and verbal reflections offer opportunities for novices to look back on their lesson implementation, but video allows them to step back "into the moment" to review their actions as they occurred in…

This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) methodology to develop "The Online Self-Training Program for Empowering Teachers' Learning to Enhance Students' Accountability Skills" to be effective according to the research hypothesis set out. It is a program that consists of development projects for learning of the teacher…

Background: Problem-solving ability is an important skill for students to develop in the 21st century. Many previous studies have focused on the impact of diverse digital educational games on problem-solving ability. However, there is inconsistency in the findings, with some studies reporting positive effects of digital game-based learning (DGBL)…

Having a sense of belonging can promote persistence in the STEM fields, but less is known about what it means to develop that sense of belonging. To investigate this phenomenon, we conducted semi-structured interviews with a cohort of STEM students (n = 10) nearing graduation at an urban university regarding their sense of belonging and…

In the present study, we followed a group of students over the course of a three-semester project aimed at increasing their abilities to express their competence development. Extensive data (video, transcripts, documentation of artifacts and communications, and field notes) was analyzed in a framework analysis based on cultural-historical activity…

Failure learning remains an unexplored and even avoided topic within teacher education, particularly in School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE), despite recognized benefits from failure. To effectively incorporate failure learning, we must revisit the preservice teacher experience, showing how they approach and handle failure so we may better…

Background: Compared to the role of classmates on students' academic development, less research has focused on the role of peers in students' motivation and developmental outcomes in school-organized Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs). Aims: This study examined how perceived acceptance from CCA peers early in the school year (T1) is associated with…

This article reviews the use of self-directed peer focus groups -- a qualitative participatory strategy developed to reduce the influence of an adult researcher and enhance diverse young people's everyday talk. While similar to youth peer-led interview methodologies, this strategy differed as it did not appoint peer interviewers, but instead…
