One method for evaluating higher education performance is to conceptualize it as a production function represented as an input/output process. This paper proposes a performance evaluation of higher education institutions from the perspective of recent graduates taking as inputs students' cognitive abilities and tuition, and as outputs three we…

We describe an extracurricular graduate fellowship program designed to train students in community-engaged scholarship with Black and Indigenous communities. The CREATE Scholars program combines coursework, research externships, and experiential learning opportunities in order to develop graduate student competencies in codevelopment, community…

In this article, we explore our experienced tensions as we accepted responsibility for the privilege of our lived experiences towards becoming antiracist mathematics teacher educators. We employed a collaborative self-study to examine and uncover the ways in which existing systemic barriers were mirrored in our own practices. Weekly dialogue…

The main purpose of this research is to examine the employment crisis among the unemployed youth with higher education. In particular, the research investigates the subjective experience of the youth representatives (n = 188) in the situation of job loss or inability to find it. For this purpose, the research uses the method of ranking social and…

Despite the importance of collaboration in schools, few studies have examined interprofessional education (IPE) interventions for graduate speech-language pathology (SLP) students designed to prepare them with the skills necessary to effectively work on school-based teams. The current pilot study implemented a five-week practice-based IPE…

This research is a narrative which explains the development of a fully online master's program in education at a major public university. It was established in 2014, more than 6 years prior to the COVID pandemic. We asked our teachers and online faculty team to describe the characteristics of a successful fully online graduate program. Teachers…

As the number of online educational courses continues to grow, it is imperative that we also incorporate effective research-based practices such as the use of formative assessment. This study aimed to examine the relationship of formative self-assessment to academic achievement and self-efficacy in online graduate courses. The research included a…

Perceptual restoration occurs when the brain restores missing segments from speech under certain conditions. It is investigated in the auditory modality, but minimal evidence has been collected during speechreading tasks. The authors measured perceptual restoration in speechreading by individuals with hearing loss and compared it to perceptual…

There is currently little guidance for medical school admissions committees regarding how to weigh postbaccalaureate program grades relative to undergraduate grades. This study was designed to address this issue. Admissions data, preclerkship course performance and United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1 results were analyzed over…

Supporting student engagement and success across different types of educational delivery is of growing importance within the higher education sector. The digitalisation of the sector has required institutions to fundamentally reconsider their strategic approaches to the tertiary experience. Given that educational delivery is progressively more…

Declining graduate labour markets, perceived devaluing of degree qualifications, and intense focus on graduate employment metrics have increased pressure on universities to enhance their students' employability. Formal curricula developments have been accompanied by co-curricular and extra-curricular offerings intended to enhance students' career…

Academic criticism is a fundamental feature of scholarly discourse. It plays a key role in scientific theory building, whereby ideas are iteratively challenged and redrafted (Kuhn, 1962, 1970). It is also how individual scholars create a research space (see the CARS model, Swales, 1990) and establish themselves as members of the research…

Trust in science is indispensable and very important for the development of global health, and can certainly be gained by developing the scientific literacy of the whole population. The article presents various definitions of scientific literacy and seeks its connections to science education. It further explores the progress in developing…

Case study analysis has been used for many years across a variety of disciplines. One of the primary advantages of case study analysis is its ability to illustrate the nexus between theory and practice. This paper explores the use of case study analysis as a culminating experience in a large Master of Public Administration (MPA) program in the…

Computer-based simulations in public affairs curricula are thought to better prepare graduates for responding to an increasingly complex public policy environment upon entering into or advancing within public sector careers. Using survey results from 221 participants in the 2021 NASPAA-Batten Pandemic 2.0 simulation competition, the authors…
