Pre-education majors sometimes struggle to integrate smoothly into the role of a teacher candidate. Providing them with cross-age peer support through career-related mentoring may give them confidence and success in addition to providing them with personal, emotional, and academic growth. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship…

The present study takes a novel quantitative approach to examine whether the change mechanisms hypothesized by conceptual change theories are involved in reconceptualizing teaching from a teacher-centred to a student-centred approach. We assessed changes in approaches to teaching, measured with the Approaches to Teaching Inventory-Revised (ATI-R),…

Through the use of Twale et al.'s model of socialization of graduate students, this study sought to better understand the experiences of graduates from an educational leadership and administration program and the influence faculty have on the knowledge acquisition needed to create socially just educational communities. Graduate programs must be…

This study aimed to evaluate Jordanian pharmacy postgraduate students' knowledge, behavior and perception about plagiarism and why do they commit such research misconduct. This is a cross-sectional survey that was conducted in Jordan during the period between June-July 2019. The study targeted postgraduate pharmacy students from all Jordanian…

Analysis of CCAPS-34 scores on a large (n = 4,852) university counseling center student sample supported internal consistency ([alpha] = 0.803-0.896), one-month test-retest reliability (r[subscript tt] = 0.706-0.829), convergent and divergent validity, and good model fit. Measurement invariance of scores for all categories of race and student…

This study explores the narratives of first-generation, Latinx graduate students whose parents emigrated from Mexico. We aimed to understand the life trajectories of six participants, particularly the ways in which they made sense of graduate education (MA and EdD) as part of their personal journeys, identity and practice as educators. Focus…

The need for improved competency in the health care and caregiving workforce is shaped by several factors. These include demographic shifts, a shortage of trained geriatricians, lack of primary health-care providers with adequate training in geriatrics, and persisting unmet needs reflected by poor health status indicators of older Floridians.…

Climate change (CC) is a global environmental problem and source of concern. Effective planning and implementation of CC mitigation and adaptation may arise from knowledge of its causes and effects. Therefore, dissemination of knowledge is highly important for ensuring that the knowledge grows and spreads amongst the various stakeholders and that…

This paper proposes a video-based discussion learning exercise to consider in addition to the traditional online discussion board format. While the traditional written interaction between students in an online classroom is beneficial, the mass adoption of video technology, along with limitations associated with online discussion boards, led to the…

Student-faculty partnerships are a growing practice in scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) projects. They can foster greater student engagement in higher education and help advance teaching and learning experiences. For graduate students, in particular those pursuing academic careers, such partnerships can offer opportunities for…

Science teacher education has long sought to educate new science teachers to more fully understand "Science-for-all" and prepare them to effectively navigate diverse contexts. To adopt this "Science-for-all" mantra, we need to address what the labeling (i.e., categorical labeling and/or mislabeling) of students with…

For nearly three decades, researchers have been concerned that the educational measurement field is not producing enough graduate-level specialists to meet the growing demand driven by the increased use of educational assessments in the United States. This study examined the supply-side aspect of the proposed labor shortage by relying on data from…

This study explores how master's students perceive their learning experiences and build their identities as postgraduate learners. It also investigates how these students' perceptions affect their aspirations regarding academic careers. By applying the Community of Practice (CoP) framework, this study focuses on three dimensions of master's…

This article outlines a workshop orienting sociology graduate students to overcoming challenges in publishing. Although graduate students are increasingly told to publish, little guidance exists on how to best prepare them for this venture; mentorship scholarship typically assumes the professor--student relationship is the best or most appropriate…

Understanding how to interpret and manipulate large data sets is increasingly important today; however, this experience has been slow to trickle down to the typical undergraduate student. Here, we describe the implementation of a project-based learning experience that uses portable air sensors for the real-time measurement of carbon dioxide,…
