International teaching assistants (ITAs) have a prominent role in the internationalisation of higher education (IHE). Although ITAs are considered important actors in IHE and ITA programs have a relatively long history, there is a scarcity of review studies on empirical research focusing on ITAs. This qualitative metasynthesis explores the…

Collaborative teamwork has gained popularity as a vital strategy within online learning environments for constructing and negotiating knowledge. This study explores the implementation of seven distinct teamwork strategies, drawn from existing literature, in an online graduate course at a Turkish private university. It represents a single case…

The outdoor industry is growing in the U.S., and its economic impact has been well documented. One pathway toward employment in the outdoor industry has been undergraduate training in an outdoor academic program (OAP). Undergraduate OAPs require significant financial support, access to outdoor spaces, and specialized faculty training.…

Given urban school and district administrators' historical challenges with recruiting and retaining a high-quality, racially diverse teacher workforce, there is a need to better understand the factors shaping why graduates return to teach in their home district. This descriptive study examines the high school students who returned to teach in…

The study aimed to examine the impact of a gamified distance learning system on enhancing digital creativity in distance education. The research involved 36 graduate students from Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University enrolled in the Public Administration Innovation course. Over a six-week experimental period, the learning system incorporated…

A descriptive, nonexperimental, quantitative study was conducted using the Student Perspectives of Caring Online tool to survey undergraduate (n = 22) and graduate (n = 13) students completing one of five programs in the same college. Data were analyzed to determine if students' perceptions of faculty caring online differed among the variables of…

College graduates tend to marry each other. We use detailed Norwegian data to show that strong assortativity further arises by institution and field of study, especially among high earners from elite programs. Admission discontinuities reveal that enrollment itself, rather than selection, primarily drives matching by institution and field among…

Peer mentoring provides academic, social, and pastoral support to students. This enhances their educational experience and supports learning. However less is known about the value for international master's students studying in the UK. To address this gap, this study introduced and evaluated a peer assisted study session (PASS) model of peer…

Interior design education nurtures imagination and critical thinking skills among students. Learning interior design would enable design students to translate their creative expressions into practical real-world scenarios through informed material selection. A conventional classroom pedagogy is usually confined to a lecture format with theoretical…

Group composition affects learning by individuals. Dialogic pedagogy approaches demonstrate that this is particularly true when each grouped student knows something others do not (i.e., "mutuality" grouping). Learning analytics can help grouping by providing teachers with data on students' content-specific learning. What are mathematics…

This study considers whether dual enrollment is associated with students' financial outcomes over a longer, twelve-year time horizon after high school graduation than previously analyzed in the existing literature. Using longitudinal administrative data that span K-12, higher education, and the workforce, we conduct a propensity score analysis to…

Educating students in higher education who are capable of addressing societal challenges requires innovative learning journeys. In the current study, we explore challenge-based learning (CBL) as one way to realise such education. A Delphi study has been conducted at a Dutch University for Life Sciences to identify key characteristics, learning…

Creating a positive motivational climate in college courses can motivate students to engage in their learning. We conducted a case study of a graduate English language course in which the instructor implemented an intervention by intentionally selecting strategies intended to improve the motivational climate within a course. This study had two…

Research on international students often focuses on academic adjustment and institutional support. Less attention has been given to how they acquire social and emotional support, which is also crucial for their academic success and retention. Drawing on qualitative data collected through online observations and interviews, this paper explores how…

This longitudinal follow-up study of 129 autistic young adults and their parents in three U.S. states was designed to (a) investigate autistic young adults' postsecondary education experiences, (b) learn if the experiences align with their interests and if they are satisfied with them, (c) explore the educational supports and disability services…
