The unique barriers faced by female international graduate students who are mothers (FIGSMs) affect their general well-being, mental health, and academic achievement, which in turn affect their children's well-being. The purpose of this study is to identify the gaps in existing research concerning this academic population, analyze the barriers…

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly utilized in the development and assurance of safety-critical systems (SCSs) nowadays, much like other complex problems. Safety is the topmost priority in SCS, hence, developers who are working in this area must possess extensive knowledge of both ML and SCS. This article presents a methodical investigation…

This quantitative study explored the relationships among student-instructor connectedness, learners' anxiety, and motivation in online higher education courses. Research has shown that student-instructor connectedness can affect student motivation in online learning. Utilizing the connectedness and anxiety items of the Student-Instructor…

Many professionals consider computational thinking an essential skill in the twenty-first century. Furthermore, some studies demonstrate that computer-based networking skills and digital environments can improve computational thinking. A challenging question to be addressed is whether informal learning in a digital context is related to…

We examine students' challenges in determining the number of distinct many-particle stationary states for a system of noninteracting identical particles, focusing on how these insights guided the design, validation, and evaluation of a quantum interactive learning tutorial (QuILT) to aid students' understanding. Specifically, we focus on systems…

This study advances the understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s role, particularly that of conversational agents like ChatGPT, in augmenting team-based knowledge acquisition in virtual learning settings. Drawing on human-AI teams and anthropomorphism theories and addressing the gap in the literature on human-AI collaboration within virtual…

Teacher training in the technological age is a complex matter requiring thought, action, and research. In this qualitative study, we examined the reflective constructive perspectives of in-service graduate students in the process of training for the education and teaching professions. The current study continues previously published studies…

Several Nature of Science (NOS) studies have been conducted on different categories of professionals and different age groups. Even though NOS is considered a structural facet of scientific literacy, not much research has been conducted on the NOS ideas of scientists and science professionals. This crosssectional study investigated the nature of…

Social work educators prepare students for practice mostly through field education as the signature pedagogy. However, the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted this standard process. It forced quick decision making to various adaptations of, and innovations in, teaching and learning practice readiness for social work. As countries gradually normalize,…

Addressing feedback-associated stress as a barrier to learning is increasingly relevant to student success and well-being. Mindfulness practices support stress management for students during the academic feedback process. Even if students receive high-quality feedback, the receiving end of feedback can be stressful, perhaps raising feelings of…

Initial pre-service teacher training should include insights and learning that are closely related to classroom practice. In this paper, we analyse the expectations voiced by pre-service teachers studying toward a master's degree in secondary education as well as by in-service teachers. Both groups participated in a 6-month professional…

Objective: The purpose of this study was to test a conceptual framework examining the interrelationships among campus climate, sense of belonging, anxiety, depression, and flourishing using a sample of Asian American graduate students. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Healthy Mind Study data from Fall 2019-Spring 2020 was conducted using a path…

Self-regulated learning is a multifaceted process that involves cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioural components. These components are interconnected and influenced by contextual factors that shape the overall learning experience. Self-regulated learning empowers students to take control of their learning by utilising…

Higher education students in Finland and all over the world are often engaged in a paid job alongside their studies. The purpose of the present study is to explore how humanities students' work experience is related to their career engagement and metacognitive awareness. More precisely, the aim is to investigate how the nature and amount of work…

The emergence of AI-driven writing tools has assisted students in writing academic papers. Although the positive benefits of these tools have been acknowledged, concerns regarding ethics emerge.
