Simplifying equations via assumptions is integral to the "engineering method." Algebraic scaling helps in teaching the engineering skill of making good assumptions. Algebraic scaling is more than a pedagogical tool. It can create a solution where one was not possible before scaling. Scaling helps in engineering proper design…

Work produced by community-engaged scholars often spans many genres from exhibitions to toolkits. Yet, our institutional structures often preassign value to deliverables produced from our community partnerships that align with academic genres, like the journal article or monograph. These structures can produce tension for the community scholar…

The Black Lives Matter movement broke open new spaces to interrogate racism and coloniality in the international aid sector and reinvigorated antiracist and decolonial scholarship in higher education. In this essay, we trace connections between mounting critiques of international aid and the comparative and international higher education programs…

The development of the teaching profession is important in developing and preparing young people to face the changes of the future world. This research aims to find out the feasibility a program to enhance the competency of teacher students. The method is the synthesis of information obtained from the study of documents, concept, and theories…

The lack of a valid and interpretable score to track early child development over time is a primary reason for neglecting child development in policymaking. Many instruments exist, but there is no accepted method for comparing their scores across different ages, samples, and instruments. This paper aims (1) to enhance the Development Score…

Enrollment management (EM) was established as an area of study about 50 years ago, yet the first definition of graduate enrollment management (GEM) only emerged in 2014. In the past decade, despite pressure to increase graduate enrollments to address institutions' budget challenges and impending undergraduate enrollment declines, few empirical…

The development of the higher education system definitely involves the development of the values and meanings of an individual. Academic mobility programmes are the means of achieving this, which enable all participants of the educational process to learn the experience of other educational institutions and countries. Identify the value…

Higher Education institutions are under growing pressure to attract and retain their students and give them the best chance of success. Research consistently demonstrates that a strong sense of belonging is closely linked to various aspects of student success, including academic achievement, engagement, mental health and wellbeing, and student…

Adolescence is a crucial time of identity formation, scholastic and social demands, future concerns, and relationship changes. Adolescents are especially susceptible to psychological issues like pessimism, which can hinder their progress and well-being. Cognitive flexibility may help adolescents adjust to these challenges and improve subjective…

Background: One of the most vexing threats to education field trials is attrition--when some subjects drop out before it is complete. Since outcomes are not available for subjects who attrit, they are typically dropped from any analysis estimating average effects on the outcome. However, since attrition may itself have been affected by treatment…

Internet Adaptability, which includes Internet self-control, Internet socialization, Internet information search, Internet information protection, Internet positive coping, Internet learning, Internet self-efficacy, and Internet curiosity, for measuring an individual's ability to adjust to the online environment. Poor Internet Adaptability may…

Purpose: This study investigates and unravels the factors upon which students base their choice of institutions for pursuing postgraduate education in management. Design/methodology/approach: A mixed method combining qualitative and quantitative analysis is used. In the first phase, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was undertaken to identify…

Using field-experimental data (study-time tracking and randomized incentives), we identify a structural model of learning. Student effort is influenced by external costs/benefits and unobserved heterogeneity: motivation (willingness to study) and productivity (conversion rate of time into skill). We estimate academic labor-supply elasticities and…

Game theory has been central to understanding animal behavior for over fifty years, yet undergraduate biology students are often exposed to only a narrow set of canonical examples, such as the hawk-dove game and the prisoner's dilemma. This paper introduces two fresh, research-grounded examples designed to enrich game theory instruction in…

Reflective writing is part of many higher education courses across the globe. It is often considered a challenging task for students as it requires self-regulated learning skills to appropriately plan, timely engage and deeply reflect on learning experiences. Despite an advance in writing analytics and the pervasiveness of human feedback aimed to…
