This project explored the impact of a research mentoring program on the development of graduate trainees' mentoring competencies. Graduate students participating in a research mentoring program completed the Mentoring Competency Assessment at the beginning and end of the program. Undergraduate students also provided an evaluation of their mentors'…

This is a systematic review of empirical studies on graduate students' research motivation, a key factor for improving their research performance. A total of 57 articles and conference papers between 1993 and 2023 were identified through the thorough search process and quality assessment, and their research categories and themes, theories, and…

Research conducted by graduate students is crucial for the development of lifelong learning skills and future professional success. However, many students encounter obstacles that hinder the timely completion of their research projects and theses. The factors that impede the completion of research papers within designated timeframes have not been…

In higher education, research courses are an integral part of all academic majors that intend to help students in becoming better readers and/or authors of research. However, there is a paucity in instruments that measure various constructs that are related to research education. The 13-item revised scale of attitudes toward research is one of the…

We offer ways that the inspection paradox can be usefully presented, even in the most elementary statistics courses, and provide guidance about how it can be revisited subsequently in the same course and in succeeding courses. Numerous situations in which the inspection paradox might occur are mentioned, and mathematically simple demonstrations…

Practitioner-oriented dissertations are unique in their potential to address wicked problems through relevant and timely applications of empirical research that can facilitate rapid change. This account describes the dossier style dissertation, a newly re-imagined dissertation of Johns Hopkins University's Doctor of Education program, with two…

Purpose: This study aims to offer an original criterion of assessment for examiners of practice-based doctorates in contemporary arts practices, based upon the degree of intrigue, perceptual and conceptual, afforded by the research outputs. It is argued that intrigue is the necessary stimulus for the states of attention required for the…

Designing and delivering an oral poster presentation is becoming very common for undergraduate students to showcase their research, whether it be in conferences, symposiums, and/or poster sessions; however, there is limited published evidence on how to successfully develop and make a presentation. This article demonstrates how undergraduate…

This article juxtaposes culturally neutral undergraduate research with possibilities for culturally relevant and validating research experiences.

Undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative inquiry (URSCI) experiences are found to enhance student growth in skill development. Previous research has not established what literature exists on intentionally preparing students for work through URSCI experiences in the United States. A scoping review was conducted to systematically map what…

Following the frameworks for research and inquiry-based learning, this paper describes a series of activities that can be used in undergraduate management classrooms to expose students to management research. The focus of these activities on finding reputable article summaries allows instructors to introduce management research, explain how to…

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) courses. These courses provide research opportunities for many more students than are typically exposed to traditional independent research experiences, including women, historically underrepresented groups in science, and…

Several scholars argue for a closer association between research and teaching in higher education, but it is unclear how research-based teaching can be actualized. Action research (AR) offers designs that position students as actors of the research processes, for example by doing research themselves or co-researching. Therefore, AR and…

CRISPR-Cas9 technology is an established, powerful tool for genome editing through the ability to target specific DNA sequences of interest for introduction of desired genetic modifications. CRISPR-Cas9 is utilized for a variety of purposes, ranging from a research molecular biology tool to treatment for human diseases. Due to its prominence…

Purpose: Approaching mentoring from the theoretical tradition of continental pedagogy and contrasting it to the neoliberal organization of the academy, this paper aims to analyze how the Croatian higher education document framework constructs mentoring graduate and postgraduate students' research projects. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis…
