This article describes the Student Teaching Fellowship Program (STFP), offered by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto, as an opportunity for graduate students (and postdoctoral researchers) to gain meaningful training in teaching as they undertake undergraduate curriculum development and pedagogical research. Under the…

The occupational therapy (OT) profession faces a national enrollment decline, with many United States graduate programs struggling to fill seats. As social media use continues to rise among young adults, OT programs may benefit from leveraging digital platforms to enhance visibility and attract qualified applicants. This study explored how…

Reflective learning is considered crucial for advancing learning strategies, improving professional practice, and engaging in lifelong learning. For this reason, developing reflective learning has been imperative for the education of professionals across disciplines.

Globally, education reviews have spotlit professional preparation as a policy problem alongside teacher shortages and early career teacher attrition. Our study explored how preservice teacher (PST) engagement and preparation for practice are related in one Australian university, drawing on Kahu and Nelson's framework of student engagement in the…

Experts have cautioned against the use of college student ratings of instruction (SRIs) in making high stakes decisions for faculty members, such as compensation and tenure, due to extraneous variables that bias student responses. This practice is especially pernicious for minoritized faculty members, with evidence to suggest student feedback to…

Many matchstick puzzles have multiple solutions and are ideal learning tasks for fostering and improving creative thinking. Nevertheless, many puzzle book authors exhibit a strange approach toward these multiple-solution puzzles. For some puzzles, the number of solutions is mentioned after puzzle formulation and these solutions are published in…

Holistic review is widely practiced in graduate admissions. However, despite its prevalence, there is a need to understand how practitioners approach holistic graduate admissions, how its practice relates to institutional priorities, and its potential implications for equitable access to graduate education. This exploratory mixed method study…

Interdisciplinary education has become increasingly prominent as a core instrument to prepare the next generation workforce. Yet, little is known about the impacts of long-term degree-oriented interdisciplinary education on post-graduation outcomes. This paper aims to investigate the influence of long-term degree-oriented interdisciplinary…

Over the past few decades, there has been a sharp increase in the number of international students enrolling in postgraduate courses at UK universities, with students from China making up the single largest national group. At the same time, there has been a gradual increase in Chinese teachers and faculty members, as these same students continue…

Communication to the lay audience is a critical skill in academia. To equip students with this skill, we developed a new workshop and assessment. Postgraduate students attended a 1.5-hour workshop taught by a communication expert to develop communication skills and deliver engaging presentations. They were then asked to develop a 10-minute podcast…

Driven by competition amongst higher education institutions, increasing recognition of the benefits of international academic mobility, and the global pandemic, transnational distance education has accelerated in recent years.

Facilitating the subject 'Entrepreneurship Education' at higher education can be challenging as it requires a multi-disciplinary approach and a keen focus on the changing business environment. It also makes capturing entrepreneurship as a 'phenomenon' a daunting task. Various nuances around 'entrepreneurship as a phenomenon' such as defining…

This article reflects on the assumptions we make in the design of faculty and graduate student orientations and on the implementation of redesigned orientations that foreground participant narrative. When educational developers purposefully make space for participant stories at their orientations, it is a way not only to share power with graduate…

Background/Context: English learners (ELs) have the potential to bring much-needed multilingual skills to the workforce, and most ELs aspire to graduate high school and earn a post-secondary credential (Gwynne, Pareja, Ehrlich, & Allensworth, 2012; Shi & Watkinson, 2019). But active ELs graduate high school at far lower rates than their…
