Predictors of student academic success do not always replicate well across different learning designs, subject areas, or educational institutions. This suggests that characteristics of a particular discipline and learning design have to be carefully considered when creating predictive models in order to scale up learning analytics. This study…

Encouragement by the Chinese government for education to move from an emphasis on passive learning, rote memorisation and mechanical training towards the development and delivery of education using active, student-centred education approaches has resulted in tensions and challenges, one of which is the reaction of students previously used to…

Academics' conceptions of teaching (ACTs) and academics' teaching approaches (ATAs) are essential factors in informing academics' teaching behaviors. However, empirical evidence from longitudinal research exploring the causal link between ACTs and ATAs is lacking. In the current study, we employed a cross-lagged panel model approach in three waves…

The need for inclusive and equitable teaching and learning approaches is widely accepted in higher education literature. Surprisingly, the notion of inclusion appears to be neglected within the context of eWIL. This paper uses insights from multi-disciplinary theories to propose a framework for the development of an eWIL framework. Its key…

Traditions associated with the physical studio in design education have obstructed translation to an online model. Literature on design pedagogy reveals the studio is considered essential for design education. This perception can be traced to the "atelier" model in the fine arts, in which students practised under a master. This method…

This paper explores the evolving role of trauma in history education, particularly within the context of the Council of Europe's vision of 'understanding the past as vital for a shared future'. The rise of memory studies and remembrance culture in Europe has shifted the focus from impersonal historical events to more personal microhistories and…

Service-learning (SL) is a form of experiential education which promotes student learning through community service and critical reflection. This study aims to examine the effect of SL on Chinese college students' transfer of learning and to explore the psychological mechanism of such effect. In Phase 1 with 186 Chinese college students, the SL…

A multidisciplinary Australian University introduced a block model of blended, sequential 4-week blocks to first-year students. This natural experiment compares the inaugural block and two prior cohorts on satisfaction and performance (n = 15,989 satisfaction and n = 86,545 assessment observations). Mixed effect cross-classified models with…

Scholarly community has raised concerns over the effectiveness of traditional classroom pedagogy in entrepreneurship education (EE), highlighting the need for alternative pedagogic approach. Our study explores the superiority of action learning pedagogy over traditional classroom pedagogy for EE, to overcome these challenges. The impact of both…

Although ever present, the way in which the body is implicated in learning has received scant attention in the research literature to date. A particular area of neglect relates to the significance of the perceiving, feeling, motile body in learning to enter the professions. The philosophical-empirical inquiry in this article targets this neglected…

Higher education institutions have a critical role to play in preparing students to meet the demands of an increasingly technological world. Drawing on a survey of 762 undergraduate students in two universities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), this paper examines the actual experiences of digital technology of students during their academic…

In South Africa, inequalities endemic to HE systems worldwide are further compounded by apartheid legacies. Despite an intensive focus for over twenty years on how pedagogic intervention could be harnessed to address these inequalities, black students' participation and success rates in South African HE remain stubbornly low, suggesting a need for…

In this paper, a new evaluation method for under-graduate education quality is proposed based on Artificial Intelligence Neural Network Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm and stress testing. Using this method, a publically available indicator pool is constructed, consisting of 19 variables in 4 dimensions such as Teaching Attitude, Teaching Content,…

This study investigates the factors that influence how long it takes for master's-level graduate students to find employment. The original contribution stems from questioning whether the structure and content of university programmes play a role in graduates' ability to secure jobs. To this end, we focus on three dimensions at three points in time…

Chilean doctoral programs in science and technology generally do not consider entrepreneurial training within their curricula. Taking an entrepreneurial competency approach, we explore the potential impact of introducing an entrepreneurship education course to doctoral students based within a non-commercial research environment. We identified two…
