Graduate students in the United States are experiencing increased levels of anxiety, affecting their mental health and attrition from graduate programs. Yet, we are only beginning to understand how anxiety about specific aspects of graduate study, such as teaching or research, might contribute to this overall anxiety related to graduate study.…

Skill is ubiquitous in the English Further Education (FE) sector's policy discourse and discursive practices, yet it is used in different ways to mean different things within the sector. Within the context of a deregulated FE Initial Teacher Education (ITE) system, the discourse is underpinned by a set of standards and guidance expected of…

While previous research has suggested there are dominantly two reading practices in critical literacy, namely, reading with and against texts, this study introduces the approach of ambivalence as a third way of reading texts critically. For the purpose of this study -- establishing ambivalence as a reading practice in critical literacy -- four…

Purpose: This study primarily investigated the tendency of management students to exhibit bias blind spots on three biases related to career decision-making.

The present study is a partial replication of the most widely cited study of lexical coverage and reading comprehension by Hu and Nation (2000). Ninety-four advanced L2 learners read a short story at one of 90%, 95%, 98%, and 100% lexical coverage and then completed a 14-item reading comprehension test. The results showed that although…

Purpose: This study seeks to assess the impact of three factors related to graduates' situation in the labor market on their satisfaction with university education. The dimensions are: (1) the gender of the graduates; (2) the institutional features of the institution attended, such as the selectivity of the university, and (3) the work experiences…

Purpose: The low standing of higher vocational education (HVE) in terms of its class origins and occupational destinations has been widely recognised, yet the empirical evidence regarding HVE graduates' transition to work is still sparse.

A prior randomized-control evaluation of the program found a nearly 12 percentage point increase in graduation five years after college entry. Using this impact estimate and national data on…

Background: A growing body of research has indicated the importance of implementing community mental health initiatives in universities to promote student mental health and well-being. Designing and implementing community-based initiatives on campus can facilitate improved student well-being in a cost-effective way. Purpose: This paper provides a…

The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into everyday life necessitates a transformation in machine learning (ML) education and development practices, empowering end users with domain knowledge to independently design, train, test, and deploy specialized ML models. However, the technical complexity of ML, particularly in areas such…

Providing consistent summative assessment to students is important, as the grades they are awarded affect their progression through university and future career prospects. While small cohorts are typically assessed by a single assessor, such as the module/class leader, larger cohorts are often assessed by multiple assessors, typically teaching…
