Few student affairs graduate preparation programs address deficit thinking. This study explored how an anti-deficit achievement framework was used to socialize scholar-practitioners in a graduate course on student success. Using narrative inquiry, this study addresses how exposing participants to anti-deficit research enhanced their understanding…

The past few decades have foregrounded cooperative learning and its pedagogical implications for students' academic, psychological, and social gains, particularly, in the Western context. These gains, nonetheless, were sometimes questioned and doubted in the Confucian Heritage Culture (CHC) countries such as China. This study adopts Norton's…

REDEVELOP is a graduate student training program funded by the NSERC-CREATE grant, starting in 2017. Its goal is to support the training of new professionals and researchers (> 100) who will be the next generation of science and engineering leaders and policymakers in Canada.

Numbers of online postgraduate coursework students are increasing within higher education and this raises questions of identity - what being a student means to this more mature cohort. This in-depth qualitative investigation explores postgraduate student identities within online learning. We conducted interviews (14) and collected completed…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been evolving since the mid-twentieth-century when luminaries such as Alan Turing, Herbert Simon, and Marvin Minsky began developing rudimentary AI applications. For decades, AI programs remained pretty much in the realm of computer science and experimental game playing. This changed radically in the 2020s when…

Introduction: There is limited evidence on the impact of simulation learning with standardized patients and the affects occupational therapy and physical therapy students' attitudes toward interprofessional teams and the team approach to care. Methods: The current study investigated the Students' Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical…

Possible Selves theory, introduced by Markus and Nurius (1986), explores individuals' ideas of what they might become, what they would like to become, and what they fear becoming. This paper examines the theoretical foundations of Possible Selves theory and its implications for identity development, particularly among graduate students. It reviews…

Background: Given the increased emphasis on active learning in psychology, it is important to use data to enhance these experiences. In learning courses, both live animals and virtual training laboratories have been found to enhance learning, but less research has examined student preferences. Generally, live rats are preferred, but students may…

Purpose: This study aims to identify students' perceptions of the importance and objectives of sustainability and business ethics education, considering contextual factors (ethics-friendly environments) and including the social desirability (SD) bias to strengthen data robustness and assess response truthfulness. Design/methodology/approach: A…
