Since 1967, the American Indian Law Center (AILC) has been conducting the Pre-Law Summer Institute (PLSI), a free eight-week-long program that prepares American Indian and Alaskan Native students from across the United States for the rigors of law school. Taught by nationally prominent law school faculty and leaders, PLSI focuses on the unique…

This research utilized bibliometric analysis to assess both historic and current research trajectories and forecast upcoming research domains in social-emotional learning (SEL). We gathered 1,790 papers from the Web of Science database. Both co-citation and co-word analyses were used to highlight key publications, clarify the foundational…

Transition pedagogy offers a solid foundation for developing whole-of-institution student success strategies due to its holistic approach. Generally, whole-of-institution student success strategies can be challenging to implement at the faculty level because they are necessarily broad. This practice report presents a step-by-step guide to…

This practice report examines how an implementation of Kift's (2009) Transition Pedagogy evolved over 15 years in a First and Further Year Experience (FFYE) program at an Australian university. Designed to enhance student success, particularly for students from low socio-economic status (LSES) backgrounds, the program applies transition pedagogy…

Despite consistent growth in computing-related fields, challenges persist in advancing racial equity--especially within doctoral programs. Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) increasingly offer graduate programs. Yet, MSIs are often overlooked in graduate student pathways to computing degrees and careers. Leveraging multiple methodological…

This article explores the underutilized potential of incorporating gamified approaches into anatomy outreach initiatives. While gamification and game-based learning approaches have been widely adopted in formal educational settings, there is a surprising lack of research on their application for community-based public engagement with anatomy. We…

Intercultural competence (ICC) is essential for students, particularly in healthcare, to provide culturally responsive care. This study examines the integration of intercultural learning (ICL) activities in a fully online, asynchronous 300-level undergraduate audiology course. Pre- and post-test data from the Intercultural Development Inventory…

This study reports on a project that adopted a social constructivist approach and SMART goals to develop a successful peer-teaching mentoring program to support year ten students' leadership growth and peer-teaching skills and year six students' connectedness to their school and peers. Doran (1981) developed the SMART goals approach as a guided…

Many extensive reading (ER) programs encourage second/foreign language learners to choose reading materials by themselves. However, given the difficulty of choosing appropriate reading materials, it is necessary to provide support. Hypothesizing the importance of learners' subjectivity in their choice of reading materials, this study aimed to…

High-quality field experiences are one of the most critical components of effective special education teacher preparation, with research showing they directly impact teacher effectiveness and student outcomes (Bussey & Lay, 2023; Dunst et al., 2019). As teacher preparation programs evolve to meet changing demands, new models of field…

Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university-based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations. This study sought to examine the…

Although the demand for video tutorials has risen recently in the field of technical apprenticeship, they can overtax learners, especially novices. Enhancing video tutorials with prompts is a potential support measure to ensure learners focus on the key aspects of learning content. However, open questions remain concerning the prompt type and…

In educational settings, gamified learning integrates a variety of game elements to improve the learning experience, but a thorough analysis comparing different combinations of these elements is sparse. This meta-analysis consolidated data from 182 effect sizes across 37 randomized or quasi-randomized trials to assess the impact of gamified…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore how graduate employability is conceptualized and operationalized in higher education through educational interventions. It provides a comprehensive review of how these interventions are implemented and the results they report as well as the levels of governance that motivate their implementation.…

Background and Purpose: Out-of-school time (OST) programs, including those before school, after school, and in the summer, are an important space for young people to continue growing and developing outside of the school day (Durlak et al., 2009). OST programs must apply for funding to open their doors, and many funders require programs to use…
