This study explores the relationship between approaches to learning and self-regulation of learning. Approaches to learning characterise students' intentions and strategies regarding learning and studying, divided into deep and surface approaches together with organised studying. Self-regulation of learning is a process of monitoring and directing…

Community-engaged learning (CEL) is a pedagogy characterized by reciprocal partnerships between academic institutions and community partners. Literature suggests that CEL has a potent ability to enhance skill, empathy and engagement in both students and community members. This investigation is a mixed methods study aimed to assess whether CEL can…

The increasing reliance on digital technologies in higher education has significantly transformed teaching and learning practices, highlighting the distinct roles of research- and teaching-oriented faculty in digital pedagogy. Researchoriented faculty contribute to active digital learning by promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and…

This study employed repeated measures ANOVA to assess the reliability of an instrument designed to measure utilization, awareness, and perception of AI in research among 150 undergraduate students. Validated instruments with robust psychometric properties were used for the study. Data collection occurred in three phases spaced two weeks apart,…

Linguistic accuracy (LA) has been shown to be indicative of second language (L2) essay quality through the use of various measurements, such as error counts and error-free T-units. However, concerns persist regarding the precise definition of LA, as findings in recent literature often depend on the specific measures of LA employed. This study…

Recent efforts to make undergraduate biology more inclusive include developing content that explores how human values and priorities impact science, and previous work documents how instructors value an "ideologically aware" biology curriculum that highlights these themes. Here, we surveyed a national sample of undergraduate students in…

This study examined the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between perceived teacher autonomy support and deep learning in physical education from a selected public higher education institution. Although autonomy-supportive teaching is widely recognized for enhancing student motivation and engagement, the specific processes that…

In today's competitive higher education landscape, colleges and universities must adopt innovative marketing and recruitment strategies to attract top talent. This report unveils the most effective tactics for the four-year private, four-year public, and two-year institutions based on a recent survey of 114 institutions across the US. The findings…

Background: Effective translation practice requires a profound understanding of source and target languages. Previous research acknowledges the role of context in translation, but few explore this through analysis of cognitive load translations. Purpose: This study aims to address a gap in educational research by investigating how contextual…

Calculation has emerged as an imperative practice, providing universities with one of their most effective strategies for self-governance. This norm has significantly influenced university decisions on the availability of places across different disciplines. Utilising the Foucauldian conceptual tool 'technology of government', this paper delves…

Background/purpose: Exam anxiety can affect performance and well-being, especially among academically outstanding undergraduates. This study estimated the level of exam anxiety in two UAE universities (Ajman and Fujairah) and examined differences by gender, academic year, major, and institution. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical…

Raman spectroscopy, a powerful vibrational spectroscopic technique widely used in chemistry, materials science, and environmental analysis, provides critical molecular insights through spectral fingerprints. However, undergraduate students often lack proficiency in optimizing experimental parameters, interpreting vibrational modes, and applying…

Chemical engineering is a consolidated discipline in Spain with bachelor's degrees in 36 universities. An analysis of main indicators related to chemical engineering undergraduate enrolment has been performed, since the introduction of academic programs according to Bologna principles (2010-2011). Indicators present a wide variety of values across…

Cover, copy, and compare (CCC) is a study strategy in which students cover their notes, attempt to copy them, and then compare for accuracy. We evaluated whether CCC could be used to establish equivalence classes with undergraduate students. A video training package and experimenter feedback were used to teach participants to engage in CCC with…

Mathematics provides us with tools to capture and explain phenomena in everyday biology, even at the nanoscale. The most regularly applied technique to biology is differential equations. In this article, we seek to present how differential equation models of biological phenomena, particularly the flow through ion channels, can be used to motivate…
