Using two conceptual frameworks--boundary work and field theory--I examined how academic scientists' strategies for demarcating science from the market have implications for professional socialization. I focused on how field theory's emphasis on group differentiation, power, and rules within fields can inform analysis of boundary work. The study…

The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) has historically been used to report the number of new doctorates entering over 100 different academic disciplines annually, including the field of mathematics education. In this article, we examine the validity of the use of this measure for this purpose by analyzing data from 23 institutions that grant…

Objective Structured Teaching Exercises (OSTEs) are used to evaluate feedback skills. OSTEs are simulated teaching scenarios using standardized learners and trained facilitators to deliver immediate feedback to participants. As per researchers' limited knowledge, there is no published assessment tool to assess the feedback skills using OSTE in…

International graduate students serving as teaching assistants constitute a major component of the teaching of undergraduate students at U.S. universities, particularly in engineering. Prior literature on these international teaching assistants (ITAs) generally characterizes their linguistic experiences as challenges. This characterization can be…

Purpose: One of the means to enhance the employability skills of tertiary graduates transiting into the job market has been the compulsory national service instituted by the Government of Ghana.
