This study explored the support needs of PG students in health studies at a South African Open Distance Learning institution during and after COVID-19 to address research-related challenges. Using a qualitative, exploratory, phenomenological design, 22 Master's and Doctoral students were purposefully sampled and interviewed via Microsoft Teams.…

This study explores how working with problem-based cases as a mediating tool may support student teachers in bridging the gap between theory and practice, while also fostering their research literacy. The intervention was carried out over two years in a compulsory 15 ECTS pedagogy course within a Norwegian integrated master's program in teacher…

The purpose of this study was to design a tool measuring the influence of educational leaders in the health and wellness promotion of their employees. A reliable and valid multidimensional Likert scale instrument "Leaders' Perception of Health and Wellness Promotion" to assess the health and wellness promotion of staff was developed. A…

Students are destined by South African Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) institutions of higher education to use formal e-learning platforms for learning while neglecting the use of informal e-learning platforms. This creates challenges during the learning process since students are struggling to use formal e-learning platforms owing to the…

The transition into postgraduate medical training is complex, requiring an integration into the workplace, adjustment to new identities, and understanding of the social and organisational structure of healthcare. Studies suggest that social resources, including a sense of belonging, inclusivity from social groups, and having strong social…

In previous studies of college match, specifically undermatching and its far-reaching consequences among traditionally underserved students, students' geographic proximity to postsecondary institutions (particularly those with which they match) has not always received much consideration. As it stands, the scholarly consensus on college match is…

We aimed to capture reflections of in-service educators' understanding of the use of technology in teaching, after receiving instruction on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Triple-E technology integration frameworks. Our objectives were to investigate in-service educators' reflections for the presence of any changes in their reasoning…

This paper examines supporting elements of senior engineering students' career aspirations within a problem-based learning (PBL) environment in Denmark. Using the systems theory framework of career development, this study investigates both individual and contextual influences of career aspirations. A mixed-method approach was employed,…

This study examines the inviolable and admonitory norms for graduate teaching and mentorship in the Turkish higher education sector. Research data were gathered using a quantitative survey from 633 graduate students at 100 public and foundation higher education institutions (HEIs) in Turkey. The Graduate Teaching and Mentoring Behaviors Inventory…

Although individuals with aphasia are commonly treated by speech-language pathologists, many clinicians entering the field feel under-prepared to work with this population. Undergraduate and graduate students need appropriate training that emphasizes person-centered care mapped onto evidence-based practice, combining high-quality research…

There has been an intense focus on the '21st century skills' and on universities developing graduate attributes through teaching, learning and innovative curricula. One example is resilience, frequently cited as desirable, especially during and post the COVID-19 pandemic. Resilience gained momentum across a number of fields, such as development…

Virtual Labs (vLabs) have been gaining popularity in high school and undergraduate education, but there are few studies looking at their use in graduate-level courses. In this study, we investigated the use of six Labster vLabs assigned as homework in a graduate-level in-person Genomic Methodologies course at the University of Toronto. This course…

The growing use of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in academic research has created a need to understand graduate students' intention to adopt this technology. This study extended the technology acceptance model (TAM) to explore the factors that influence graduate students' willingness to use GAI for academic research purposes. We…

Objectives: Collaborative reading of research articles is essential for graduate students to develop academic reading skills through peer engagement in knowledge sharing, reflection, and feedback. However, limited information exists about the behaviors indicative of co-reading practices. This study aims to identify behavioral indicators and social…

Purpose: This study aimed to provide guidelines and insights for all stakeholders of the career ecosystem including students, training and placement (T&P) coordinators, higher education institutes and recruiting organizations to prepare students for the graduate labor market, resulting in enhanced graduate employment.…
