Research supervision can utilise teaching and supervision practices to structure the research journey for master's students and achieve higher order learning. This study applied known practice to conceptualise a supervision approach to support the learning process of master's students during research supervision. The approach focused on improving…

This paper presents methodology aimed at developing a rich understanding of the interplay of mathematical progress in the different social settings in which learning in inquiry-oriented classrooms occurs: individually; in small groups; and as a whole class. For this purpose, we enhance a theoretical-methodological approach of coordinating…

More and more people in the UK have poor mental health. Consequently, there is a growing demand for mental health professionals such as counsellors and psychotherapists. The aim of this study was to explore how trainee counsellors make sense of mental health in general and concepts like disorder, diagnosis and treatment in particular. We employ…

This project aimed to examine the effects of a novel training program using interprofessional, multicultural learning activities to facilitate learning cultural competence with humility (CCH). Problem: Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) academic programs have consistently satisfied curricular standards for aspects of cultural competence, but the…

In this article, I present the design case of a fully online graduate-level course intended to prepare instructional designers and human performance improvement practitioners with an introduction to the knowledge and skills that are foundational for the design and implementation of mentoring systems to improve individuals' and organizational…

This article looks at a challenge-based learning (CBL) approach that aims to engage students in sustainable transitions within urban and regional planning. Drawing on CBL, we focus on how living labs -- the idea of using a city as a site for user-driven innovation and development -- can be used as a site and methodology in education and research…

Private master's comprehensive institutions (PMCIs) in the United States navigate pressures to expand college access and equity while striving for prestige in the academic hierarchy. To strive for prestige entails competing for world-class status of greater selectivity, research intensity and resources, but such a pathway to excellence may,…

Students on one-year full-time Master's programmes, particularly those studying in English for the first time, or after a break from studies, can struggle with the demands of an academic essay. This study reports the evaluation of the introduction of the use of concept maps as a learning and assessment tool, designed to support students'…

Purpose: Biomedical engineering (BME) curricula are necessarily broad and it has been reported that BME students can experience substantial barriers to their career attainment compared to other engineering majors. Methods: Challenges and curricular innovations for addressing industry needs were discussed in workshops held at the BME Education…

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an educationally designed digital clinical workbook for Master of Nursing (Nurse Practitioner) students' work-integrated learning experience. Sixteen students completed an anonymous online survey consisting of closed questions and open-ended free text items to capture students' experience…

A foremost goal toward sustainable energy is decentralizing its production and management. To achieve this, actors in peripheral contexts must be capacitated with novel competencies. Energy, however, remains a highly centralized field particularly in training its workforce. We explore in this paper tensions in producing a specialized track on…

This study examined the professional identity development of counselors-in-training (CITs), considering the influence of personal and program factors. The data were collected from 198 master's-level CITs enrolled in CACREP-accredited programs. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that CITs' personal traits, such as gender…

Purpose: This study investigates how generative AI models (ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini) can be systematically integrated into curriculum design using Hilda Taba's inductive model. Addressing Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), it introduces the EduCompass framework to enhance inclusivity and instructional quality. Design/methodology/approach: A…

This paper explores the transformational potential of flipped blended learning in MBA education, with a focus on enhancing skill development in Marketing, Finance, and Human Resources (HR). Flipped blended learning, a pedagogical model where students engage with foundational content outside the classroom and use in-class time for deeper, applied…

Since the 1970s, master's degrees represent the fastest growing degree in the United States (US). Accordingly, there is a need for greater understanding of the factors that have contributed to this sustained, upward trend. Guided by resource dependence theory, we conducted hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses to examine whether more…
