Extensive research has highlighted the significant impact of students' approaches to learning and self-efficacy on academic achievement. It has been suggested that deep learning approaches, high self-efficacy, and strong academic performance are crucial for developing undergraduates' intentions to engage in sustainable lifelong learning after…

Increasing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) self-efficacy is necessary for closing the gap in STEM fields. There is a lot expected of students studying in STEM fields. However, studies have frequently mentioned the importance of design thinking in developing self-efficacy in STEM teaching. It has been highlighted as an…

As technology rapidly evolves, generative AI tools are increasingly integrated across various fields, including education. ChatGPT, a well-known language model developed by OpenAI, has gained significant importance in educational settings. This study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design and employed the Unified Theory of…

Drawing on self-regulatory perspective, this study investigates how protean individuals self-regulate their thoughts, cognition by the set-up of self-regulation tactics in order to develop their careers. Based on a sample of 423 French engineers, we tested a structural equation modeling. Our results highlighted that protean career orientation had…

The push to create ethical universities is a shared global goal, reflecting the important role that higher education plays in shaping ethical development across societies. In the context of West Africa, this qualitative study explored the understanding and commitment to fostering ethical universities, drawing on the insights of 29 participants…

Research ethics is considered an important element in academia, concerning the behavior of researchers in promoting scientific integrity. This study aims to survey scientific integrity of researchers in scholarly publishing across 16 global and frontier research universities in Thailand. The quantitative method was used to collect data from…

Check-in/check-out (CICO) is a Tier 2 behavioral management system in the School-wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) framework, which is widely used in Western schools. However, this system is not currently used in public schools in mainland China, mainly because of the large class sizes. This study redesigned CICO to facilitate its…

Contemporary literature in engineering education calls for focused efforts towards revitalizing the curriculum, pedagogic practice, and assessments. Creating multidisciplinary, experiential learning opportunities through a biomimicry module offers authentic and situated experiences for designing sustainable solutions inspired by and in harmony…

Resilience as a concept continues to be mobilised as children and young people navigate the climate crisis and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, social isolation, and school closures. In this paper, we explore Rose and Lentzos (2017) position on 'the polyvalence of resilient strategies' (p. 44) to analyse the complex…

This study aims to analyze the differences in the influence of key factors, Digital Financial Literacy,…

This paper attempts to investigate various facets of the multi-layered dynamics of open-book exams, from student perceptions, preferences, academic performance and satisfaction, to the highly relevant issue of academic integrity. Unfortunately, despite some controversies regarding academic integrity and the repercussions of open-book exams, very…

Academic file-sharing services encourage students to upload materials, sometimes their own study notes for example, but can also include copyrighted university documents, in exchange for access to downloading resources from a common repository. In this process, the lines between legitimate study help and academic misconduct are unclear.…

Ethical and quality concerns are important concerns in doctoral research programs and often draw the attention of governments, universities governing bodies, academics, and research students. Addressing these concerns is key to maintaining and improving the quality of doctoral research. This study used generic qualitative research design. The…

Midterm student feedback is increasingly considered to have greater potential for improvement in post-secondary teaching than end-of-term course evaluations. While many benefits have been established, the process for gathering midterm feedback has been studied exclusively with the aim of characterizing short-term effects. At McMaster University,…

Computational thinking (CT) is a core skill for students in the digital age, which refers to the use of fundamental concepts of computer science to analyze and solve real-world problems. However, it is a challenging task to accurately measure the CT levels of the students. The goal of this study is to explore a new CT assessment paradigm that…
