The study claims that religion is tangibly present at a Catholic university in the Philippines. Examining the participants' views of religion yielded the following contours: a. Well-being; b. Connections; c. Service-Oriented; d. Dispositions; e. Higher Value; f. Metaphysical; and g. Encompassing. These contours are consistent with contemporary…

Background: Visual representations are pervasive in electrical engineering instruction in various instructional settings. Further, electrical engineering instruction often requires students to extend simple visual representations to learn about more complex visualization in subsequent instruction. Yet, students often struggle to understand…

Despite the utility of cognitive interviews, very few studies report on the practical application of this survey design procedure. Likewise, very few studies querying perceptions of honors education incorporate valid survey items that reflect the views of students of color who are eligible yet opt out of participation. We respond to these areas of…

Background: Links between alcohol-induced blackouts and sexual assault (SA) are understudied. We tested whether: (1) history of blackouts, past 30-day blackouts, and past 30-day blackout intentions would be higher among women with histories of SA relative to women without; (2) baseline history of blackouts, past 30-day blackouts, and blackout…

The primary focus of this research is to analyze university students' perceptions of the blended learning method, particularly within the context of artificial intelligence and the post-covid learning environment. The participants in this study consist of undergraduate students in their second and third years at a private university in South…

For college students, selecting a major is a requirement that must be fulfilled to ensure proper and timely graduation. In many cases, students rethink the original decision made and consider a different major of study. The factors impacting students' decisions are well-documented throughout the literature. What are these factors and how do…

This study aims to conduct validity and reliability of a measurement tool developed to determine university students' levels of digital risk taking. 646 undergraduate students from 8 different universities voluntarily participated in the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to reveal the factor structure of the…

While biosensing is becoming a popular tool among urban geographers to address the emotional experience of the urban environment, it is also posing significant challenges, as its application demands expertise on technology and human physiology that is not part of regular curricula in geography courses. Despite this, there is little exploration of…

Objective: The current study explored emotion regulation strategies (ie, suppression, cognitive reappraisal, experiential avoidance) as mediators in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and social anxiety. Participants: One hundred and ninety-three undergraduate students (M[subscript age] = 19.5 years; 83.9% female) were recruited from…

Self-regulated learning is among the most important factors affecting learning outcomes in the digital age. Visualization feedback is widely used to support students' self-regulated learning. However, low motivation often leads to insufficient self-regulated learning engagement. Therefore, based on achievement goal theory, this study developed…

Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) are popular to screen for social skills during undergraduate medical admission as they have been shown to predict relevant study outcomes. Two different types of SJTs can be distinguished: Traditional SJTs, which measure general effective behavior, and construct-driven SJTs which are designed to measure specific…

Teamwork is crucial in software engineering. However, recent literature concludes that software engineering graduates have underdeveloped teamwork skills. Instructors wishing to develop teamwork skills are faced with many teamwork models and a lack of empirical studies that examine their utility in higher education. We conducted an exploratory…

Generally, there are two kinds of travellers: package tourists and independent backpackers. The journey towards second language (L2) student feedback literacy shares many features with independent backpacker travel, and there are benefits to viewing student feedback literacy this way. Despite feedback playing a fundamental role in higher education…

Background/purpose. Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) development represents a critical challenge in biology higher education. While Project-Based Learning (PjBL) shows promise, empirical evidence remains fragmented across individual studies. This meta-analysis systematically synthesized evidence on PjBL effectiveness in developing HOTS among…

This paper describes a short ion flow activity that can be completed within one lab or lecture session. The activity is focused on the core concept of flow-down gradients and is geared toward undergraduates. No previous knowledge of equilibrium potentials or membrane potentials is required. Students are guided through a set of questions that build…
