This contribution discusses two case studies that illustrate the experiences of mobility students who were studying abroad during the first outbreak of COVID19. The case studies have emerged from a larger longitudinal, mixed-method study, which included an interview study with six international students planned for spring 2020. Due to the COVID-19…

This study analysed whether the assessment of head righting reflex (HRR) in babies immediately after birth can be used in prediction of early child development. In 54 healthy newborns, testing of HRR was conducted on the third day upon birth. The HRR at birth were correlated with balance ability (BA), speech and language development (SLD) and…

After the UN-sponsored elections in 1993, Cambodia began to transition from a centrally planned to a market-oriented economy. Reform rapidly ensued, including in the higher education sector, which in 1997 was the focus of a National Strategic Plan for Higher Education. With only eight public universities in Cambodia in 1997, the capacity of the…

This report is developed with dual foci: (1) justifying attainment of the grant milestones in Year 2; and (2) supporting ongoing improvement of the program performance, to evaluate the second year operation of a five-year grant, "Promoting Excellence in Graduate Education and Increasing Hispanic STEM Related Degree Completion".…

This paper aligns with the themes found in "The Transitions of Online Learning and Teaching" and "Sustaining Positive Change," and reports on the collaborative work of a faculty member and an instructional designer from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, where Indigenization and internationalization are leading…

This paper highlights how a small group of minority students worked to take advantage of the privileges available once they were admitted to an elite school.

Growth mixture models (GMMs) are prevalent for modeling unknown population heterogeneity via distinct latent classes. However, GMMs are riddled with convergence issues, often requiring researchers to atheoretically alter the model with cross-class constraints to obtain convergence. We discuss how within-class random effects in GMMs exacerbate…
