While quantitative research has revealed that undergraduate research experiences are closing graduate school matriculation gaps for underrepresented students, little is known about how they are doing this. This study explores this through two in-depth interviews with 12 students who attended a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for…

Background: Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) have been shown to increase both workforce and service capacity. To date, there has been positive evidence reported for the safe and effective delegation of dysphagia management tasks to AHAs for key roles, including dysphagia screening, mealtime monitoring and providing patient-end support during…

United States history standards are written through a Eurocentric lens, centering white people's experiences. This occurs in schools by teaching some Black histories, but not through (or by) Black people's perspectives. In a recent survey, teachers said they try to teach Black history, but they do not feel prepared to do so. With this context in…

This article examines the global transformation of undergraduate legal education through the analytical lens of transformative learning theory, with a particular focus on how practice-oriented reforms contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education) and 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Using China as a central…

Giving practitioners a voice is essential in developing intervention programs that are adapted to educator and child needs. We aimed to do so by involving educators in the codesign of an intervention supporting early mathematical and executive development, to maximize feasibility and implementation quality. N = 100 educators, N = 24 Early Years…

In recent years, public confidence in the value of higher education has declined, with a growing number of Americans questioning whether a college degree--particularly one rooted in the liberal arts--is worth the investment. These pressures have been further intensified by recent actions from the Trump administration, including proposed cuts to…

In the last decade, there has been an increasing shift to begin teaching computer science and computational thinking in kindergarten. Most of these efforts have grown from the demand of a technically sophisticated workforce. This paper presents three contributions. First, a theoretical contribution by proposing the teaching of computer science as…

We share the creation and evaluation of a faculty professional development course aimed to create a culture within an educational measurement graduate program that acknowledges the history and current practices of the field and supports faculty and students in using assessment and methods for good rather than harm. Eight educational measurement…

This article introduces the pedagogy of authenticity, a transformative teaching and learning methodology designed to enhance student belonging, academic success and global cultural competencies in South African undergraduate education. By challenging monolingual norms and integrating Afrocentric philosophies and a feminist ethic of care, it…

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent disorder, with an estimated 7 million (11.4%) U.S. children aged 3 to 17 years have ever been diagnosed (Danielson et al., 2024). Characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, ADHD is associated with significant academic, social, and…

Purpose: This study explores how a primary school in southern England strategically integrated Forest School and smallholding principles into its core educational model. It examines leadership practices, stakeholder engagement, and planning processes underpinning the transformation, offering insights into sustainable innovation in primary…

Single-case experimental methods are used across a range of educational and psychological research. Single-case data are analyzed with a variety of methods, but no statistic has demonstrated clear superiority over other methods. The time-series nature of single-case designs requires special consideration for baseline trend and autocorrelation when…

In this study, the authors analyze the undergraduate economics coursework of U.S. college graduates who became pre-college classroom teachers. The results show that teachers successfully completed on average the equivalent of about half an economics course in their undergraduate coursework. About 6 in 10 teachers earned no course credits in…

The internationalisation of higher education has led to widespread adoption of English as a medium of instruction in European universities, and this strategy is supporting increasingly diverse student mobility. Many students undertaking short-term Erasmus+ mobility see this as an opportunity to develop their English language skills but may lack…

In this study, we used Conceptual Metaphor Theory (henceforth CMT) for the benefit of English for Academic Purposes' teaching and learning. CMT underpins how in metaphorical expressions, one concept is understood in terms of another. We argue that CMT can help students understand and master argumentation skills and essay structure, although there…
