In this study, collaboration has been revisited between an American faculty member and an international graduate teaching assistant during a unique faculty-student mentoring model within principles of chaos theory. The role of culture, beliefs about language learning and teaching had been studied closely to improve faculty/international students'…

Studies find a deterioration in reading attitudes. This is worrying since research suggest that attitudes are key in developing reading comprehension. The aim of this study was, hence, to examine the relationship between the amount of school reading experience, beliefs about reading outcomes and reading attitudes. The theoretical framework was…

The concept of the undercommons offers a lens for complicating the discourse of conviviality in education. In this paper, the authors draw on learning experiences opened through black feminisms, decoloniality and anti-coloniality, and new materialisms in an experimental graduate course. Presenting stories drawn from a shared educational space,…

Given that the majority of college courses are staffed with instructors who have little, if any, teaching experience (Boysen, 2011), research has called for more innovative approaches to providing teaching development opportunities for graduate student instructors (GSIs) (e.g., BrckaLorenz et al., 2020; Chew et al., 2018). The purpose of this…

Diabetes is a chronic condition that is complexly influenced by internal and external factors with patterns of increased disproportion in diagnosis among populations of color. African American women are among those who experience increased susceptibility to diabetes related complications and mortality. This condition is further exacerbated…

Improving student learning and behavior has been a topic of discussion in the education community for a long time. The Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS) program is proposed to achieve this. While PBIS successfully improves academic and behavioral outcomes, there are concerns that it may only meet the needs of some students.…

Despite many theories on student success as well as many resources to help students make the transition from high school to college, many students do not persist in or graduate from college. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide insight into what takes place when students leave P-12 institutions and enter institutions of higher education…

The election of Donald Trump was an astounding moment in the history of the United States. As academics across disciplines and social work as a profession struggled to understand the election and its effects, several syllabi were crowd sourced to explain the phenomenon known as Trumpism. This article describes a social work social policy course…

This article examines how appreciative inquiry can be a helpful tool to improve the supervision of graduate assistants in student affairs. Representing the future of the field, these emerging professionals need supervisors willing to invest in their development, a process that can be improved when approached with appreciative frameworks.

This report presents findings from an online survey conducted in May 2023. The survey was developed by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), in collaboration with Morning Consult. The survey was administered online by Morning Consult to a sample of 1,010 employers. The findings reflect employer perspectives on the…

As the demand for distance education continues to rise, so does the number of online graduate nursing programs. Although distance education has expanded access to advanced nursing education, the level of academic preparedness for the rigors of graduate education may be a challenge for many graduate nursing students. One approach to support student…

Skilled orators and their public speaking skills have been held in high esteem since antiquity. Artificial intelligence-powered presentation platforms (AI-PPPs) are an emerging educational technology that provides a virtual venue and AI audience for users to practice a presentation or pitch and receive feedback to improve their public speaking…

Solving problems in organic chemistry often requires the consideration of reaction mechanisms. As such, much research has been devoted to the examination of how students consider mechanisms when solving various types of organic chemistry problems, such as predicting the products of a reaction or proposing a synthesis. This article provides a…

An adipic acid esterification experiment suitable for graduate students has been developed to describe the industrial manufacture of plasticizers. Students first follow the progress of the reaction with simple acid/base titration enabling measurement of the acid number. During the workup of the reaction mixture, they learn how to manage the…

This study aims to confirm the effect of industrial education 4.0 on data, technology, and human literacy among postgraduate students in Indonesia. The research adopted covariance-based structural equation modeling by employing AMOS 25 to examine the relationship between variables. The model estimation was performed using confirmatory factor…
