Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is the proactive concept of creating a student-focused learning environment that meets students' variable needs. This qualitative phenomenological study interviewed five active graduate education faculty members on their knowledge and resource support with UDL initiatives. Findings included a variety of…

The problem addressed in this study was that African American women do not receive adequate academic mentoring to complete graduate school. The purpose of the qualitative case study was to identify the effect of academic mentoring on African American female graduate students. A qualitative exploratory case study approach was selected to gain a…

In this paper, the researchers use data from the tracer study to characterize the graduate's employment profile, assess the perceived contribution of the program to their personal and professional growth, evaluate the perceived effectiveness of the delivery of the graduate program, and explore significant dimensions of curricular program relevance…

REDEVELOP is a graduate student training program funded by the NSERC-CREATE grant, starting in 2017. Its goal is to support the training of new professionals and researchers (> 100) who will be the next generation of science and engineering leaders and policymakers in Canada. The program has successfully developed a framework for operating…

The success of any degree program being delivered by higher education institutions is measured using the employment performance of its graduates as they navigate the dynamic labor market after completion of their studies. The tool used to gauge this metric is known as a graduate tracer study. Thus, this explanatory sequential mixed methods study…

When physicians do not estimate their diagnostic accuracy correctly, i.e. show inaccurate "diagnostic calibration," diagnostic errors or overtesting can occur. A previous study showed that physicians' diagnostic calibration for easy cases improved, after they received feedback on their previous diagnoses. We investigated whether…

Problem: The demand to recruit highly skilled managers and laborers in Vietnam has encouraged educational institutions to upgrade the quality of their higher education programs and to evaluate their effectiveness.

California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) continues administering its five-year grant, "Promoting Excellence in Graduate Education and Increasing Hispanic STEM Related Degree Completion," that began in the Fall of 2019 to strengthen the STEM program support for students of Latino origin and develop a Graduate School-Going culture…

This report is developed with dual foci: (1) justifying attainment of the grant milestones in Year 2; and (2) supporting ongoing improvement of the program performance, to evaluate the second year operation of a five-year grant, "Promoting Excellence in Graduate Education and Increasing Hispanic STEM Related Degree Completion".…

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) teach undergraduates directly, and many are future faculty, making it particularly important for them to be trained in using evidence-based instructional practices. We implemented and assessed a teaching professional development program for 19 biology GTAs aimed to help them develop their teaching perspectives…

Graduate employability remains a crucial measure in assessing higher education institutions (HEIs), yet a gap exists between the skills imparted by HEIs and evolving job market demands. In India, despite a youthful and English-speaking workforce with substantial global potential, HEIs, particularly State Open Universities (SOUs), experience…
