This study aims to examine whether an informative initiative can help to raise university students' awareness of food waste…

Purpose: Pro-environmental education incorporates digital technologies to enhance the level of pro-environmental behaviours (PEB) in young adults. Guided by gamified learning and self-directed informal learning theories, this study aims to examine the potential for the use of a gamified mobile app to increase students' PEB. Also, it explores…

South Africa has seen a surge in student protests, with virtually every institution of higher education experiencing some degree of disrupted productivity. This paper is a theoretical argument that presents the proponents of decoloniality as a tool to deradicalise students' minds against radical student unrest in the university system and answers…

This study quantifies the effectiveness of the leadership development program (LDP) in women's colleges presented by Iwaki et al. (2021), namely that leadership is to influence others to produce results, is acquired, and can be exercised and developed by anyone. In the model, the transformation in the 'motivation' aspect leads to the 'behavior',…

Relying on experiential learning theory and adopting the framework of the emotional intelligence leadership styles, this research analyses the effectiveness of a leadership development programme for graduate students in promoting a change in individual behaviours. A quasi-experimental research design was implemented to analyse the improvement in…

As institutions implement more comprehensive hazing prevention efforts, assessment is a necessary strategy for ensuring that programs and services for students are achieving their intended outcomes, especially as hazing behaviors change and evolve. Using a multi-stage student learning and development outcomes cycle, this article outlines steps to…

Combining nudge theory with learning analytics, 'nudge analytics', is a relatively recent phenomenon in the educational context. Used, for example, to address such issues as concerns with student (dis)engagement, nudging students to take certain action or to change a behaviour towards active learning, can make a difference. However, knowing who to…

Technology is recognized as a valuable learning tool, but research indicates that students are also distracted by the use of technology in class. Since college students constantly rely on their devices for learning, it has become imperative for instructors to find effective ways of integrating technology into their lessons while reducing digital…

Hazing prevention and education efforts continue to evolve in response to changing student behavior. The organic and anomic nature of hazing is deeply embedded in higher education, permeating across campus reinforced by cultural norms and institutional practices. While numerous approaches attempt to disrupt hazing, public health approaches,…

The purpose of this sequential explanatory mixed methods study was to explore HIV risk perception, the meaning of HIV testing, and HIV risk behavior among college students following a negative HIV test. An extended version of the theoretical framework of the health belief model (HBM) aided in the exploration of college students' perceptions of…

Environmental damage is a negative effect of human activities. The young generation is saddled with the burden of environmental damage left by the previous generations and must take on a role as an agent of change in improving the environment. This study analyses the pro-environmental behaviour of Indonesian students, the factors affecting such…

The purpose of the study was to examine (a) students' social annotation behaviors and engagement change in an undergraduate course throughout the semester, and (b) which social annotation behaviors impact active engagement time. A total of 91 university students' social annotation behaviors, as well as their active engagement time in readings,…

Academic procrastination is a behaviour that delays the completion of tasks, time management or other academic activities. However, it is possible to develop interventions that eliminate or minimise this procrastinating behaviour. This study presents a systematic review of the literature following the PRISMA method guidelines, with the aim of…

Transdisciplinary (TD) graduate training programs are growing in number, yet little is known about their effectiveness or the development of TD attitudes and behaviors among students over time. This prospective longitudinal mixed methods study compares graduate students participating in a federally funded TD training program with non-participating…

Purpose: This study aims to determine and analyze the predictors of food waste reduction intention and behavior among higher education institutions (HEIs) using an extended version of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Design/methodology/approach: This study empirically tested an extended TPB model through regression analyses using data…
