This paper examines the relation between the nature of updates in training curricula and graduates' skills and wages. Using vocational education and training (VET) curriculum texts as data, we apply natural language processing methods to identify the nature of changes in curriculum updates based on before-after comparisons of the skills the…

Global public health events such as the COVID-19 pandemic create public awareness of the need for skilled public health graduates and public health graduate programs. Core Competencies for Public Health are tools that can guide graduate-level public health programs to ensure students are receiving the appropriate knowledge, tools and skills…

The purpose of this study was to determine how resilience factors impact doctoral degree completion after a significant delay of one year or more. The non-completion of doctoral degrees has been a concern due to its economic, social, and personal consequences.

Purpose: Integrated marketing communications (IMC) is possibly "the richest and most accessible service-learning experience" in the marketing curriculum (Petkus, 2000, p. 68). Yet, despite this recognition, scholars and practitioners continue to lament the pronounced theory-practice gap between how IMC is taught and the practice of it in…

Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) are doctoral researchers who are paid to teach. Building on work exploring identity construction in doctoral education and in the GTA context, this study uses role identity theory (McCall and Simmons 1978) as a theoretical framework to explore the factors influencing GTAs' teacher identity development. Role…

Students have gravitated toward the convenience of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate text, music, and for entertainment. Faculty are also emerging as AI consumers. Given that faculty workloads have become increasingly difficult to manage, AI holds promise for assisting with teaching and research. In this article, a pedagogical case study is…

This article shares research, an empirical psychological case study, about cognition in higher degree art education. It proposes cognitive curation as a concept and practice that can develop knowledge and learning autonomy in and beyond the academy. Informed by the autoethnographic stories, interviews, and artworks of three academic art educators,…

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has revolutionized our ability to visualize cellular structures, offering unprecedented detail. However, the intricate biophysical principles that underlie SMLM can be daunting for newcomers, particularly undergraduate and graduate students. To address this challenge, we introduce the fundamental…

GRE Aptitude Test scores have been a key criterion for admissions to U.S. graduate programs. However, many universities lifted their standardized testing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, and many decided not to reinstate them once the pandemic ended. This change poses additional challenges in evaluating prospective students. In this…

Aim 2 was to query school-based SLPs about their written language service provision. Method: CSD faculty (n = 143) and school-based SLPs (n =…

Many individuals with disabilities require accommodations to support their full inclusion within post-secondary education and training programs. In this study, we examined the processes by which accommodations were developed and provided to two individuals with disabilities ('self-advocate trainees') participating in a graduate-level leadership…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people around the word experienced periods of local, state and international immobility due to lockdowns, border closers and travel restrictions.
