Enrollment management (EM) was established as an area of study about 50 years ago, yet the first definition of graduate enrollment management (GEM) only emerged in 2014. In the past decade, despite pressure to increase graduate enrollments to address institutions' budget challenges and impending undergraduate enrollment declines, few empirical…

The study aimed to analyze the similarities and differences between shepherd leadership and informal teacher leadership. The research method used was content analysis. The results showed that there were several similarities and differences between shepherd leadership and informal teacher leadership based on contents, characters, competencies,…

The global impact of COVID in 2020 is forcing higher education institutions in many countries to adopt a hybrid model of education. The shift to blended education has been trending globally. However, the change in pedagogy has reduced the quality of students' learning experience and prevented them from deep learning. Therefore, the current study…

Purpose: This study primarily aims at assessing Faculty Competences Development Components (FCDCs) that help in the development of educational leaders. The study further formulates a model using seven latent constructs that explain the development of the mechanism of development of educational leaders and extend the benefits of their development…

This paper examines the relationship between educators' epistemic character and their professional responsibilities, arguing that the role of educator carries unique epistemic obligations. Drawing on virtue epistemology and the ethics of belief, Jeff Standley contends that these obligations stem from education's core epistemic aims: cultivating…

In this paper, we discuss the ethical responsibilities of being a role model as an engineering teacher in higher education. We draw on virtue ethics, care ethics, ethics of freedom and role modeling theory, using Grande's framework for engineering education. We argue that the three ethical theories give different views on the ethics of role…

This article focuses on factors influencing adolescents' environmental behavior and approaches to promote adolescents' pro-environmental behavior in a school context. The study also explores the possibilities provided by environmental behavior research to environmental education (EE). The study is based on a qualitative meta-analysis, which…

Technology is fast reshaping the entire landscape of education and academics are charged with more responsibilities as they navigate through the new normal in education. The initial transformation which the ICT trend has brought to teaching and learning in educational institutions in scope and content, has made teaching a challenging profession…

According to Niklas Luhmann, causality is both an impossibility and a necessity in education. On the one hand, the task of the teacher is an impossible one, because teaching as communication is a closed system that cannot determine the learning of pupils' psychical system in any causal sense. On the other hand, one cannot practice as a teacher…

In this empirical study, we investigate "what" and "how" teachers in Dutch universities of applied sciences (UAS) think they contribute to the development of students' ethical compasses. Six focus groups were conducted with teachers across three programmes: Initial Teaching Education, Business Services, and Information and…

Dealing with conflicts seems to be a great challenge in society today. But not only in society. Higher education displays an air of resoluteness with certainty and security that disguises the conflicts and the fear of conflicts in a substantial number of subjects. If not in a state of denial, higher education avoids taking up conflicts over…

Doctorate graduates are expected to contribute original knowledge and possess advanced skills essential for addressing complex problems. Embedding doctorateness in doctorate programmes could help ensure that the productivity of doctoral research is explicitly demonstrated. Doctorateness represents independent scholarship, the transition from…

This phenomenological study aimed to develop a framework integrating play into preschool curriculum based on educators' lived experiences using play-based methods. Fifteen educators from 12 centers were interviewed using theoretical sampling. Data analysis revealed nine pathways linking play types, educator roles, and learning objectives. Results…

This dissertation of practice considers the dynamics of identity development of in-service educators and the intersection of their educator role with their other identities in service of orienting toward an anti-racist praxis. The problem of practice addressed centered the theory that educator identity is socially constructed, and identity may…

In my experience, the word dance in physical education has been somewhat of a taboo. Many physical education teachers either choose not to teach dance at all because they do not feel comfortable with it or they struggle to find ways to teach it properly to their students. The teaching dance for understanding (TDfU) model completely changed my…
