This research aimed to describe and evaluate research on the Postgraduate Taught (PGT) sector in the UK from January 2008 to October 2019. The focus on PGT allowed a detailed analysis of an often overlooked part of the HE sector. Methodologically, the research is original in its use of an innovative machine learning approach to a systematic…

Purpose: In 2016, the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) created a new accreditation criterion to address faculty instructional effectiveness. This criterion asks schools and programs in public health to document their systems, policies and procedures to ensure faculty are current in their area of instructional responsibility and in…

This article looks at a challenge-based learning (CBL) approach that aims to engage students in sustainable transitions within urban and regional planning. Drawing on CBL, we focus on how living labs -- the idea of using a city as a site for user-driven innovation and development -- can be used as a site and methodology in education and research…

Bacteria form an intense portion of reading and learning for students enrolled in microbiology education. As a part of the foundational course outline of bacteriology, bacterial classification is a significant topic of discussion. The purpose of our study was to analyze whether bacterial classification can be taught with a phylogenetic tree…

Despite incorporating diversity coursework into most higher education and student affairs (HESA) graduate programs, HESA graduate students report feeling underprepared to enact social justice work. Current pedagogical approaches introduce students to foundational concepts but fail to develop reflective, justice conscious administrators. This…

The purpose of this quantitative comparative study was to determine if there was a statistically significant difference in burnout between master's students in online versus in-person counseling programs in the United States. The theoretical foundation for this study was Maslach's Three-Factor Model of Burnout. The research questions asked if…

The current study compared the effects of interteaching and discussion forum activities on quiz and assignment scores in a master's-level asynchronous research methods course. In an alternating-treatments design, six participants engaged in interteaching on half of the weeks and in the discussion forum on alternate weeks. Participants in the…

The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of a multi-method approach for ethics education. The investigators measured occupational therapy (OT) students' self-efficacy for ethical decision-making and explored their perception of what contributed to their confidence in understanding the American Occupational Therapy Association's…

Home is often considered the exact opposite of homelessness, implying a physical shelter. However, scholars argue that home holds various meanings. Within the curriculum, home often serves as the foundation for teaching children about their social worlds. This study examines how elementary school teachers, who were taking a course in a master's…

This work analyzes the educational proposals designed by 130 future secondary school teachers (FTs) to address socioecological problems--in this case, the presence of microplastics in the environment--, and the relationship with their own perceptions and commitments regarding these problems. The research design was mixed, with both qualitative and…

Within the framework of comparative education studies, this article discusses the process of borrowing and implementing Complex Instruction (CI) in Europe, focusing on three different multicultural and heterogeneous educational contexts in Italy: five primary schools, a Master academic teaching course, and a first literacy course for migrant…

The study quantitatively explores the differential impact of a Flipped Classroom approach (FC) on specified learning outcomes in an Advanced Auditing and Assurance class for a one-year master's in accounting Programme. It uses a dataset from a Ghanaian university to compare a flipped-classroom approach to a traditional teaching approach. The…

Despite the several mismatches of methodological understanding between teachers and students in higher education, research methodologies in education are a relatively common pedagogical practice in most European advanced courses in education. However, only some studies have shown what pedagogical practices are mobilised by the teachers with their…

This qualitative, phenomenological case study addresses a notable gap in the existing research literature on the impact on the end-users of a creativity training course with a simulated field experience to support public school teachers' creativity development. Specifically, the study examined the phenomenon of creativity of two K-12th grade…

The purpose of the study is to understand which of the seven principles by Arthur W. Chickering & Zelda Gamson (1987) are amenable to graduate students in a virtual or other online learning environment, and to evaluate the external validity of the seven principles in the context of online teaching. It concludes with a Hierarchical Principles…
