A critical turn in heritage studies that integrates nonexpert (including colonial) voices presents significant didactic and educational challenges. How do we teach heritage practices in an intercultural, and previously colonial, context? The project Making Bonairean Heritage Together was designed as a showcase to equip students with essential…

In this reflection essay, I discuss my journey into the liberatory pedagogy bell hooks champions. As a foreign-born woman of color, who speaks English as her second language, being in the classroom itself can be seen as a transgressive act. Positioning myself as an educator who strives to create an environment that is liberatory for me and my…

In this paper, we report findings from a multiple case study that examined how instructors used shared data when teaching qualitative data analysis. More specifically, we explored both instructor and student experiences in two graduate-level qualitative methods courses located at U.S. universities. Drawing upon thematic analysis and the theory of…

Employability has been a key area of interest for researchers, especially as China faces increasing pressure in the labor market due to shifting supply and demand dynamics. Despite a steady increase in the number of graduates over the past five years, employment rates have declined, and the rates of slow employment, a slower state of employment,…

The Chinese government has recently prioritised traditional opera education, promoting university-community collaborations. However, university music students are primarily trained in Western classical music, with limited exposure to traditional opera. This exploratory case study investigated the learning experiences of postgraduate students (N =…

Artificial intelligence is infiltrating our lives and is also gaining ground in education. Failing to acknowledge its presence in higher education, in particular, would be ostrichism. There is a growing body of research on AI in higher education discussing its modes of use and regulatory aspects (Rajki, Nagy & Dingó, 2024; Horváth, 2024;…

Cell biology research methods and techniques is one of the training courses for graduate students before enter the laboratory in many universities. However, due to the limited time of experimental teaching while the teaching contents are increasing, choosing suitable teaching content has always been a challenge faced by experimental teaching.…

The purpose of this project was to examine the impact of a novel hybrid computer-based dysphagia simulation training on student confidence and clinical decision-making in the area of adult dysphagia. We developed a pilot SBT database, including computer-based simulations utilizing real-life actors who simulated standardized adult patients with…

This exploratory study measures nursing faculty and student perceptions of faculty-created videos in an online course. A convenience sample of 254 students and 31 faculty were asked to complete a Likert-scale questionnaire to collect data on the use of video in the course to increase student engagement, motivation, and academic performance. Data…

Classroom dialogue is crucial for effective teaching and learning, prompting many professional development (PD) programs to focus on dialogic pedagogy. Traditionally, these programs rely on manual analysis of classroom practices, which limits timely feedback to teachers. To address this, artificial intelligence (AI) has been employed for rapid…

By combining a near-peer instructor (NPI) placement in a master-levelled professional program with co-design approaches, an anatomy and physiology (A&P) review session was developed to supplement Year 1 students' clinical application. An interactive A&P review, named Partners in Anatomy Learning (PAL) session, was developed by a team of…

In collaborative learning, students may follow different trajectories that evolve over time. This study used a multilayered approach to map the temporal dynamics of online problem-based learning (PBL) and the transition of students' roles across time over a full year duration. Based on data from 135 dental students across four consecutive courses…

Despite a large earnings premium for bachelor's degree completion in general, graduates from low-income families earn substantially less than graduates from high-income families. While prior research has documented the role of college quality and major choice in explaining these gaps, we examine undermatching on a different margin: the first…

The nexus between international higher education, employment, policy, and wider society have been recognised. Increased international students are likely to create the fluctuation in labour supply in their home and host country is not a new phenomenon. Internationally, there is a myriad of programs and strategies designed to retain talents.…

Misinformation in digital media is growing at an exponential rate. The rapid growth of technologies such as social media and artificial intelligence necessitates the skills to navigate through the vast amount of digital media information. Education in digital media literacy is critical to ensure students do not fall prey to easily manipulated…
