Universities support students in their transition to work and future career through programmes such as work-integrated learning (WIL). WIL engages students in authentic industry-based experiences and is considered valuable for preparedness for work, including professional socialisation and developing skills prioritised by graduate employers.…

This paper problematizes the argument that technology supports spaceless education, and analyses how space acts during remote teaching. This study examines how physical spaces can act as un/equalizer among higher education students. With interview data produced by international students studying in Finnish universities during the outbreak of the…

Active recall, the act of recalling knowledge from memory, and games-based learning, the use of games and game elements for learning, are well-established as effective strategies for learning gross anatomy. An activity that applies both principles is Catch-Phrase, a fast-paced word guessing game. In Anatomy Catch-Phrase, players must get their…

This critical interpretive study aims to contribute to the scholarship that calls for epistemological recognition and representation of the global South. This call is seen as displacing questions of redistribution. The article utilizes interviews and focus group sessions with Kazakhstani graduate students to explore their experiences and…

English online learning has been largely practiced nowadays as a result of global adaptations during the pandemic. However, learners' motivation is known to differ between online and onsite learning modes. This study examines the correlation between learners' motivation and their perception of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) in an online English…

In 2022 our state, like others across the nation, passed legislation restricting the teaching of race and racism (i.e. "divisive concepts") and in 2023 passed legislation related to the teaching of literacy using evidence-based, science of reading approaches. As an urban institution with a mission to prepare teachers who address social…

Following Dynamic Systems Theory (Thelen & Smith, 1994) and Sociocultural Theory (Vygotsky, 1978), this study compared the developmental paths of low and high-achieving EFL individuals and dyads, considering production features of complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). The participants included six MA students majoring in Industrial Design…

International students are integral to Canadian higher education institutions and Canada's economic gain, contributing $37.3 billion to the economy in 2022, up from $21.6 billion in 2018 (Statistics Canada, 2024). They also add to the cultural enrichment and diversity of institutions and are a major source of bridging the gap in Canada's labour…

California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) is continuing its three-year grant, "Collaborative Capacity Building on Biodegradable Soil Sensors for Sustainable Agriculture," initiated in 2023. The project integrates research, education, and outreach/extension to advance the development and deployment of biodegradable sensors for…

This research explored the extent that working engineers were satisfied with their ability to help or serve people and/or society through their jobs. Over 450 engineering graduates responded to an online survey, including alumni recently transitioning to the workforce from 16 U.S. institutions and professional volunteers with Engineers Without…

Latinos are one of the youngest and fastest-growing populations in the United States. Latino children account for one in four K-12 students and one in five college students in the United States. In 2016, a third of the over 57 million Latinos in the country were under 18 years of age. Latino students are also completing high school at a record…

The career landscape for doctoral and postdoctoral trainees has significantly changed in recent decades. There is now an oversupply of PhD graduates in the science and engineering fields relative to the availability of academic positions, and jobs outside of academia have now become the norm. Doctoral training programmes have failed to keep pace…

As a result of increasing emphasis placed on high quality education for all students through such legislative mandates as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), teachers cannot afford to waste valuable instruction time. Evidence-based practices are required to assist all students as they…

Background: Educating engineers to reason through the ethical decisions they encounter when developing or implementing new technologies is a critical challenge. However, engineering educators have not widely adopted a framework for preparing engineering students to analyze ethical issues. Purpose/Hypothesis: We developed and tested an approach for…

This article presents a method to evaluate undergraduate and postgraduate course teaching efficiency systematically, alongside measuring effectiveness of curriculum content and delivery. We argue that efficiency is aligned to cost and revenue while effectiveness is a quality-related construct. These potentially antagonistic elements -- cost,…
