Subject knowledge, also known as domain knowledge or thematic knowledge in translation studies (TS), is universally recognized as a constituent element of translator competence. However, there is a dearth of empirical exploration into its instruction in translation classroom, especially from translation students' perspective. Inspired by CLIL…

Identity formation is a pivotal milestone in the age range of emerging adulthood ("EA"; ages 18-29; Arnett, 2000; 2014). Most of the literature in the area emphasizes the role of identity within college student samples, but there is a lack of understanding of identity distress among graduate students. Graduate school is a prolonged…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complex and multifaceted, and individuals diagnosed with ASD benefit from an interprofessional approach to treatment (American Psychiatric Association , 2022; Cox, 2012; LaFrance, 2019).

Online courses include the design for student interaction to support effective learning. Studies have shown that online discussion boards are a useful option to engage students. However, with new emerging digital technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), the question remains to what extent or in what ways these immersive technologies can be used…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to examine if there were differences in university education candidates' multicultural attitudes and multicultural efficacy from the beginning to the end of the education program at Southern Christian College (SCC) as measured from January 2021 to the beginning of September 2022. Additionally,…

Purpose and Method of Study: The purpose of this qualitative transcendental (descriptive) phenomenological study was to investigate and document the lived experiences of African American (AA) female graduate students utilizing Afrocentric mentoring paradigms at PWIs. I examined the challenges caused by institutional racism in PWIs and whether…

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic stimulated a heated dispute about the quality of higher education through online teaching in China. Based on constructivism theory and self-regulation theory, this study examines the influence of diversified online teaching strategies on students' innovation capacities by questionnaire surveys. The…

This study adopts a resource perspective to investigate the development of graduates' resource-based employability across a 1-year internship. We examined factors referring to agency (job crafting in the form of crafting challenges and crafting resources) and context (organizational social socialization tactics) as mechanisms contributing to…

Purpose: Speech-language pathology graduate programs exist within societal structures with uneven distribution of social goods (i.e., tangible and intangible concepts of value). As programs strive to increase inclusion of minoritized students, minoritized students' advice to a peer provides insight into their access to social goods and their use…

This dissertation examines the relationship between the physical isolation of online graduate students and their self-efficacy, motivation, and help-seeking. The theoretical frameworks underpinning the study were Knowles's adult learning theory and Zimmerman's self-regulation theory. While there have been studies about student isolation in online…

The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the use of live actor improvised simulations as an innovative teaching tool in the development of social justice advocacy competencies for school counselors in training (SCITs).

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are an important teaching resource to universities. Most GTAs enter graduate school with limited if any teaching experience but are given the responsibility of teaching numerous sections of introductory courses. GTA professional development (PD) is essential for the formation and preparation of these novice…

Drawing on the concept of teacher buoyancy which is teachers' capacity to deal with the everyday challenges that most teachers face in their teaching, this qualitative study investigates the capacity of ten early career teachers to derive sustenance from overcoming minor and frequent challenges in their everyday work. A semi-structured interview…

Objective: Participation in regular exercise among post-secondary students is often low. Our cross-sectional study aimed to assess exercise levels, perceived barriers/motivators to exercise, and knowledge and use of exercise resources in graduate students. Participants: We recruited graduate students across various disciplines at a large Canadian…
