Background: Faculty tout the value of undergraduate internships and research experience, but the long-term benefits are unclear for students pursuing different careers. Objective: We assessed the self-perceived benefits of internships and research experiences for alumni pursuing different careers, as well as how enduring these perceived benefits…

Journal clubs are well regarded as a highly effective means of engaging graduate students with the contemporary research literature, where individual students prepare and deliver presentations on selected research articles to their peers, followed by a group discussion. Regular journal clubs have the advantage of enhancing student scientific…

Design science research (DSR) produces knowledge via the design and evaluation of innovative solutions to real-world problems. DSR provides an improved understanding of how and why the solutions work. While DSR is being widely embraced in many research disciplines, its educational pedagogy so far remains immature with little guidance on how best…

In today's world, the ability to think computationally is essential. The skillset expected of a computer scientist is no longer solely based on the old stereotype but also a crucial skill for adapting to the future. This perspective presents a new educational challenge for society. Everyone must have a positive attitude toward understanding and…

We investigated the effects of guided inquiry-based laboratory activities on the perceptions of the research skills and inquiry learning skills in science of 5th grade students. The sample of this study consisted of 38 students enrolled in a public secondary school located in the northwest part of Türkiye. This study is based on the non-equivalent…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the coaching and mentoring supervision of the Lesson Study to enhance preservice mathematics teachers' research competencies. Design/methodology/approach: The researcher employed a multi-case study design to describe the internship experiences of practicing coaching and mentoring supervision while…

This study aims to examine the effects of the "Unlocking Research & Innovative Capability" program for university teachers. A total of 80 teachers from the Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University were enrolled. All participants were divided into groups based on their age and teaching experience. Data were collected via surveys.…

Articulating the rules, roles, and values that are expected of undergraduate researchers is important as we strive to create a more accessible path into the scientific community. Rules refer to skills required of scientists, roles refer to behaviors consistent with the expectations of a scientist, and values refer to beliefs of the scientific…

Sourcing and intertextual integration skills are critical to the development of young students' digital literacy skills. Sourcing skills include identifying source parameters (e.g., recognizing the author, publication date, publisher) and analyzing the author's expertise. The objective of this study is to investigate which sourcing skills used by…

The teaching-learning process is not only focused on traditional classroom instruction but also encompasses the online teaching process. It demands the importance of OERs in both the teaching-learning process and also in the assessment process. It helps in providing a new direction in the area of OER in higher education. The purpose of the study…

The essence of university courses lies in their scientific rigor, while the enjoyment of learning serves as a motivation. In this regard, we have developed a comprehensive experiment project by incorporating dithienylethene-based photochromic units into sensitizers for renewable energy, specifically dye-sensitized solar cells, through organic…

We recorded 10 undergraduate law students responding to a research task at the University of York, UK. Analysing these videos was like observing research magpies: darting ruthlessly from source to source in search of the shiniest material to determine, as quickly as possible, the 'content' of the law. These students cast their search widely, using…

In this study, it was investigated whether the Research Skills Teaching Program (RSTP) prepared for elementary school 4th grade students was effective in imparting the sub-skills required for conducting the research process to students. To this end, pretest-posttest control group design; one of the quasi-experimental designs; was employed. The…

Purpose: The study's purpose was to examine the faculty-driven organization's design and development that supports faculty research needs, track the emergence of the community of practice (CoP) and provide greater insight into continued organizational design iterations. Design/methodology/approach: In this longitudinal design case study, the…

Though today's students are considered digital natives, they lack the digital literacy skills needed to be competent and productive members of a digital society. Students may have experience with using technology, but they need to develop specific skills that align with consuming and producing with technology. While there may be agreement that…
