This study explores the comprehension and implementation of Internationalisation at Home (IaH) within universities in sending countries, an aspect often overlooked in previous research. Drawing upon the praxiology theory, a practice-focused ethnographic study was conducted at a regional university in China, specifically within a Sino-foreign…

Graduate study has rapidly expanded since the late 1990s, with women overtaking men in their enrollment in all levels of graduate degree. Once thought to be a relatively meritocratic space, due to increasing selection as educational transitions move into higher degrees, more recent research on graduate education has shown it to be a space where…

Alternative assessment approaches, such as pass/fail and feedback-based designs, aim to reduce academic stress and foster deeper learning. Few studies have examined feedback-based evaluation in formative settings in medical education, but none among graduate anatomy students. This exploratory study investigated the impact of feedback-based versus…

The perception of a graduate leadership education program's value by those enrolled is a critical factor in the continued success of the program. This article explores student experiences within an online cohort-based master's-level leadership program. The researchers sought to understand how students rhetorically codified or expressed their…

Computer-supported collaborative argumentation is an online activity that can engage students in deep discussion and analysis of complex problems. Given the potentially confrontational nature of argumentation, using polite language becomes a strategic approach to prevent breakdowns in group communication and nurture productive dialogues. This…

Purpose: Transitions to and within university studies can be associated with heightened distress in students. This study focusses on the less studied transition from a bachelor's to a master's degree. During a master's degree, study requirements and autonomy increase compared to bachelor's studies. The present study examines how students'…

Blended learning in higher education is evolving to be more personalized, diverse, innovative, student-centered, and high-quality. It presents an opportunity to redesign and enhance curricula. Higher education institutions are adopting a blended approach to complement traditional courses and enrich student learning experiences. However, research…

Design/methodology/approach: A total of 128 participants provided 602 voice-recorded reflective diary insights…

Given the dramatic risks and rewards to different graduate pathways, it is imperative to understand disparities in access to the highest levels of education. This paper responds to a tension between the traditional understanding that parents' education ceases to influence children's educational trajectories after college and the more recent…
