Previous studies have documented small differences between the bachelor of arts (BA) and the bachelor of science (BS) psychology degrees in their general education core requirements, particularly mathematics and science courses. But are there differences between the BA and BS degrees within the psychology curriculum? Using data from the…

This study demonstrates how a team of librarians sustained authentic assessment across multiple studies in order to inform changes to an information literacy curriculum. It demonstrates the cyclical and action-based nature of assessment, including closing one loop only to reopen another and begin the assessment process again, emphasizing the…

We present content, structure, and process adjustments that integrate implementation science and evidence-based practice in academic and field curricula. Content and assignments are based upon frameworks identified by the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN) and examine promising, evidence-informed or evidence-based practices. Field…

This paper uses an autoethnographic Freirean approach to theorise how white power moves in universities, and to speak to the pedagogical challenges (and successes) that I have encountered as a scholar of colour teaching in predominantly white universities in Australia and my various attempts to decolonise my teaching. While in social work…

An online survey examining racial color-blindness, privilege awareness, and social justice was administered to a sample of 381 college students (M[subscript age] = 20.53, SD = 4.35). Using multiple regression, increases in heterosexual and class privilege awareness predicted increases in student interest in social justice while increased levels of…

We introduce a new approach to measuring the match between education and occupation by using the number of college courses related to one's occupation. Previous studies have only considered the match between college 'major' and occupation. That approach ignores the content of education and the courses taken in college. We find that taking courses…
