Anthony Fernandes; Ksenija Simic-Muller; Travis Weiland – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2025
Racism impacts the lives of students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC) in a myriad of ways. It is important that future teachers go beyond individual acts of racism to understand how racism operates as a system. To this end, we designed and implemented a statistical investigation with 13 preservice teachers using real…

Ferrão, Maria Eugénia – Journal of College Student Development, 2020
A broad consensus regarding the need for universities to cultivate academic success has emerged because many students do not achieve their goals or optimally benefit from their higher education (HE) experiences (Altbach, 2014; Davidson & Wilson, 2014; Ferrão & Almeida, 2019; Meggiolaro, Giraldo, & Clerici, 2017; Tinto & Pusser,…

The ability to interpret graphs is highly important in modern society, but has proven to be a challenge for many people. In this paper, two teaching methods were used to remediate one specific misinterpretation: the area misinterpretation of box plots. First, we used refutational text to explicitly state and invalidate the area misinterpretation…

Kangas, Jari; Rantanen, Elisa; Kettunen, Lauri – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
Most freshmen enter universities with high expectations and with good motivation, but too many are driven into performing instead of true learning. The issues are not only related to the challenge of comprehending the substance, social and other factors have an impact as well. All these multifaceted needs should be accounted for to facilitate…

Horstschräer, Julia; Sprietsma, Maresa – Education Economics, 2015
We estimate the short-term effects of the introduction of the Bachelor degree system in Germany, a change in degree regulations such that students need less time to earn a first degree, on college enrollment and dropout rates. We use variation in the timing of the reform at the university department level to identify the effects of the reform…

Jessup-Anger, Jody; Dooley, Jonathan C.; Leih, Rachel; Mueller, Elizabeth; Dean, Kathleen Lis – Journal of College Student Development, 2016
Emerging research illustrates that undergraduate students are searching for meaning in their lives, yet postsecondary institutions generally do little to support them in exploring such issues (Astin et al., 2005b). We speculated that religiously affiliated institutions might offer guidance on supporting students' spiritual development, and thus…

McLaughlin, Jacqueline E.; McLaughlin, Gerald W.; McLaughlin, Josetta – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2015
The role and impact of diversity in higher education has permeated conversations about student access and achievement for many years. Language articulated by various courts suggests that higher education policies should reflect a broad conceptualisation of diversity beyond that of the magnitude and proportion of race and ethnicity, yet…

D'Amico, Mark M.; Morgan, Grant B.; Robertson, Shun; Houchins, Carlie – Journal of Continuing Higher Education, 2014
Nearly 40% of all public community college enrollment is in noncredit courses. While there have been several recent reports on the noncredit function at community colleges, little has been done in terms of large-scale studies and/or statewide analyses on this population. The purpose of this study was to explore one state's community college…
