When international students study at United States higher education institutions, they often encounter challenges that impact acculturation and academic success. This study applied community-based research to explore these students' experiences and discuss solutions in the form of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP). I conducted semi-structured…

The interweaving of various societal challenges into polycrisis makes resolving nowadays wicked problems increasingly complex, asking for a transformation of both our design and our education practices in the Global North.

Context: Entry-level athletic trainers (ATs) often lack tools necessary to help build confidence and professional networks, especially if they are the only clinicians in their facility. One-way athletic training education can help is to encourage preceptors to assist in mentoring athletic training students (ATSs) as they navigate the shift from…

This article presents a pedagogical strategy that uses Chex Mix™ as a visual and physical means of helping students learn data analysis. The manipulative is used to guide students to a deeper level of analysis by looking "within" and "between" data sources. Specific steps are shared about using Chex Mix™ snacks to teach the…

Creating an engaging and educational experience in an ethics class can be difficult. But media, such as TV and movies, can supplement ethics education in public administration. For this study, I used the TV show "The Good Place" as a case study for a masters-level Administrative Ethics class. Through this, I explore the themes presented…

Purpose: This study aims to understand how graduate students in a maker education course discuss beliefs about making and implement these beliefs as pedagogy in their curricular designs. Design/methodology/approach: Interview transcripts from seven students were analyzed thematically for conceptions of making and learning. Lesson plans were also…

With the expansion of business education and an increasing focus on diversity, it is imperative that business schools address students' diverse learning styles. A deeper understanding of how differently each student learns may provide useful insights into "teaching-learning" processes that need to be designed for effective learning.…

The purpose of this article is to synthesize and analyse the most frequently occurring, widely dispersed and pedagogically useful lexical bundles in mathematical texts. Drawing on a five-million-word corpus of graduate-level textbooks, a total of 65 academic sequences meeting a predefined set of length, frequency and distribution criteria are…

Lately, the debates on teaching-practices in the online mode have given grounds to ask a fundamental question, does pedagogy really matter? For educationists, it surely does. But, what idea of pedagogy prevails upon the pedagogues, the teachers, techno-managerial professors, particularly in the higher education? This article rummages through the…

Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) students represent a population for whom literature searching is a core practice and a learning outcome for an entry-level course on information searching. How LIS students learn to find information, though, is not completely clear. Many studies have explored undergraduate searching behavior, but…

Deliberate reflection has been found to foster diagnostic accuracy on complex cases or under circumstances that tend to induce cognitive bias. However, it is unclear whether the procedure can also be learned and thereby autonomously applied when diagnosing future cases without instructions to reflect. We investigated whether general practice…

This article reports a teaching project for the purpose of improving the citation ability of second language (L2) graduate students in academic writing through concept-based language instruction (C-BLI). "Citation" here refers to writers' use of external sources in their own writing, which is an important and unique feature of academic…
