We adapted and evaluated the effects of a classroom intervention (extension of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2018.04.006) on undergraduates' sourcing skills. Students (n = 266) received either a teacher-led intervention (trained group) or regular classes (control group) and were assessed before, after, and 6 to 8 weeks after the…

Purpose: The increasing prevalence of dementia poses significant challenges for speech-language pathologists (SLPs), who often lack specialized training in addressing degenerative disorders. Simulations can offer students a safe and standardized environment to develop essential skills. This study evaluated whether the Virtual Dementia Tour, a…

Simulated learning experiences (SLEs) are becoming increasingly popular in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) training programs. This pilot study examines the relative effectiveness of delivering a SLE via standard computer or using virtual reality headsets for a more immersive learning experience. Seventy undergraduate CSD students were…

The rate of college student mental health difficulties has been climbing, leading to overburdened college counseling centers. We propose the Holistic Prevention & Intervention Model (HPIM) as one solution in which campus and community resources work collaboratively to support students experiencing psychological distress and alleviate clinical…

This study examined the impact of an educational intervention on graduate students' knowledge acquisition and understanding of corporate planning and management concepts.

Evaluative judgement is the ability to understand what constitutes the quality of a performance or product and to apply this understanding in the evaluation of one's own or another's task. It is, therefore, a key element in the development of learning to learn competences linked to professionalism. Experiences that explicitly encourage it in…

In recent years, there has been a surge in research in spatial thinking across the international community. We now know that spatial skills are malleable and that they are linked to success across multiple disciplines, most notably Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). While spatial skills have been examined by cognitive…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) refers to students' ability to take charge of their own learning and consists of behavioral strategies that are associated with better online academic performance. This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of two interventions (SRL training alone and SRL training paired with a learning diary) on online…

The preparation of future teachers for diversity, equity, and social justice is a complex task faced by Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes. While efforts are ongoing, research indicates that current programmes may not fully meet this challenge. Previous reviews have also highlighted conceptual and methodological gaps in this area,…

This study investigates the role of higher education strategies in enhancing the employability of international students in the postpandemic era, employing the USEM (understanding, skills, efficacy beliefs, metacognition) as a theoretical framework.
