This qualitative case study explores Ghanaian graduate students' social and cultural experiences in a technology-mediated learning environment at a southwestern university. Whereas most studies predominantly focus holistically on international students' experiences in the US, and researchers give little attention to nationals from sub-Saharan…

This study investigated the efficacy of behavioral skills training (BST) and interteaching in enhancing the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting skills of online graduate learners. Writing skills are foundational to academic success and professional competency, particularly in online graduate programs characterized by learners with…

Despite the technical competence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) graduates of the Department of Computer Science (DCS) at the University of Guyana, stakeholders' perception generally holds that they lack affective and behavioural (soft) skills. These soft skills are expected of them to lead and champion technological change in…

The alignment of student-supervisor expectations in doctoral research builds a foundation for strong supervisory relationships. While some expectations around research practice and outputs are clearly stated and regulated, the expectations concerning personal aspects of supervisory relationships are seldom voiced. To address this gap, this article…

While there is an urgency to offer graduate students' inter-professional education (IPE) in child advocacy, there are no templates for educators to utilize. Participants (n=34), inclusive of students, community stakeholders, and faculty from a northeastern university, participated in focus groups to describe what IPE should entail. Grounded theory…

The ability to communicate scientific concepts to expert and nonexpert audiences is an essential skill for chemistry and STEM students. Current chemistry curricula mainly focus on developing skills to communicate technical information to expert audiences, while relaying the same information to general audiences receives much less attention.…

Camden City School District is committed to identifying and serving students experiencing homelessness to ensure they receive a free, appropriate public education. This report provides new statistics for the 2020-21 school year, which includes the shift to remote learning. We also consider differences in educational indicators (e.g., attendance,…

This study investigated the experiences of students who attended a Vancouver Alternate Secondary School (VASS) program and achieve a regular high school diploma, which is known as a Dogwood Diploma in the province of British Columbia, Canada. Through interpretive and semi-structured interviews, the recent graduates shared their experiences and how…

Individuals who report a high sense of belonging with their academic institution demonstrate increased levels of academic success, as measured by greater class attendance, increased appropriate classroom behaviors, and better mental health and self-concept. The available literature on this topic focuses minimally on sense of belonging in graduate…

Few student success programs nationally have been as effective as CUNY's Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) initiative, which has grown to serve 25,000 community college students. CUNY has a promising program modeled on ASAP that is helping students at senior colleges complete their bachelor's degrees on time: the Accelerate, Complete,…

During COVID-19 lockdowns, online learning activities had to be developed for the Undergraduate and Masters by Coursework Bioinformatics students at RMIT University. Therefore, we designed an integrative, industry-based research assignment, which guided the students through a drug discovery project from target identification to lead optimization.…

Every year, the BC Student Outcomes Program collects feedback from former students who took post-secondary programs. Student feedback is essential to maintain quality and relevance in the education system. In 2023, over 24,400 former post-secondary students were surveyed. 90% of those surveyed were very satisfied or satisfied with the education or…

The paper will try to provide an answer to the question whether there is going to be an opposite reaction to total online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moving totally online was the only outcome at that time, it was not easy either for teachers or for students, however, eventually many of them did quite well and even benefit from the…

This paper describes an experiential, simulation-based learning activity designed to encourage graduate education students' development of empathy for and awareness of diverse student populations. In order to allow students to take the "role of the other," they were placed into different situations where they had to complete a simple…

The evidence continuum is a five-domain model for building evidence through needs assessment, program theory, process evaluation, outcomes and impact evaluation, and optimization studies. In this conceptual article, the first two domains of the evidence continuum are used to design a learner centered course on advanced research methods, and…
