Bowman, Nicholas A.; Wolniak, Gregory C.; Seifert, Tricia A.; Wise, Kathleen; Blaich, Charles – Research in Higher Education, 2023
Scholars and the public alike have questioned the benefits of obtaining an undergraduate education.

Huan Li; Jisun Jung; Hugo Horta – Studies in Continuing Education, 2024
Research on the career trajectories of doctoral recipients often assumes that all PhD students begin in roughly the same starting position.

Holtschneider, Dennis H. – Journal of Catholic Higher Education, 2021
Imparting the rich heritage of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition to students begins with first inviting them on a journey into the world of ideas -- but how can educators effectively coax students to embark on such a voyage? Working from the understanding that students arrive on campus curious and questioning, the author suggests a number of…

Varsha Ghosh – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Service-learning has become deeply embedded in higher education, as both a co-curricular and curricular tool to achieve learning outcomes, promote civic engagement and promote diversity. Yet it has also struggled with the critique that service-learning, unintentionally, reinforces deficit thinking by promoting a dominant narrative centered on the…

There has been a significant change in the cultural zeitgeist as of late.

Barrett, Betty J. – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2010
The notion that the classroom can, indeed must, be a safe space to promote student engagement and enhance academic outcomes is pervasive in the teaching and learning literature. Despite the prevalence of this claim, there is a dearth of empirical evidence documenting the effectiveness of safe space classrooms in achieving these goals. The purpose…

Buckley, Charles A. – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2011
The research-teaching nexus is central to higher education as well as students' intellectual development. Staff identity can be developed by departments focussing on the nexus.

Knight, Brian Keith – ProQuest LLC, 2013
According to McAuliffe and Lovell (2006), regardless of the training received in skills classes, master's level counseling students continue to be rote in their approach to clients and their use of counseling skills as opposed to understanding how skills fit into the helping process. Students also experience confusion manifested by fear, anxiety,…

Prior, Susan – Gifted and Talented International, 2011
The research available to find the voice of the student who is intellectually gifted is examined briefly in regard to the changes in education. In contrasting and critiquing different views I confirm that there is little direct information available from individuals in mainstream classes who are intellectually gifted as to what they experience as…
