Generic competency development activities (GCDAs) help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation, creativity, communication and social skills. This study evaluated students' acceptance of a machine learning-assisted recommendation system (MARS) developed to recommend GCDAs for students in a higher education institution. This…

Brain connectivity of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is heterogenous, as are the behavioral manifestations. The current study investigated brain-behavior relationships in the context of social skills and executive function profiles with data from the Autism Brain Imaging Database Exchange II. We calculated connectivity measures…

Numerous preservice primary school teachers begin their training with a negative attitude towards mathematics: this phenomenon can have important consequences for their training path and for their future teaching. How teachers' training programs could affect preservice teachers' attitudes is one of the main issues in research on future teachers in…

Using data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education (WNSLAE), this study considered institutions as "incubators," where institutions develop students by providing them with essential resources and services to thrive.

With the internationalisation of higher education, students from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds represent a significant proportion of the university student body in Australia. Research literature indicates that the unique cultural and linguistic challenges experienced by these students may adversely impact their academic…

We reviewed public documents to determine the extent to which U.S. state educational authorities facilitate induction for early career principals. We found that only about half of states require any form of principal induction. States commonly delegated induction to districts, but also involved professional associations and external providers.…
