As collaborative artistic inquiries, studios challenge logical--analytical approaches to knowledge. Studio activities entail materializing artifacts to explore a range of management and organization issues. Theoretical references are currently needed to keep pace with the growing interest in studio-informed pedagogy. Inspired by organizational…

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic results in the suspension of universities' academic laboratory activities. This brought a difficult time for graduate students majored in molecular biology and their mentors, since the student's thesis progress relies on the data from wet experiments in the lab. Even facing the challenges during the pandemic,…

Pedagogical studies -- related to teaching didactics and methodologies -- are fundamental in the globalized world, especially in the complex field of comparative education (Morin, 1999. "Os sete saberes necessários à educação do futuro." Cortez). Exchanges of knowledge from applied educational practices, coupled with their underlying…

Research on library impact on online-only graduate student success has been limited. This paper will present a structure to evaluate the effect early program instruction and contact with library professionals and library resources has on success metrics for graduate students in online-only graduate programs at a regionally accredited nonprofit…

Success in postsecondary education requires proficiency with academic online information seeking. Navigating the internet to find information is a complicated task that is vulnerable to lapses in attention. This study examined the relationships among Canadian graduate students' self-reported behavioral inattention symptoms, awareness and…

Based on the spatial Durbin model, this paper explored postgraduate education's influence and spatial effects on technological innovation. Using China's provincial panel data from 2004 to 2018, study results revealed that distribution of postgraduates in China showed spatial autocorrelation and non-equilibrium. Overall, postgraduate education…

In this work, we show the results of a research with pre-service mathematics secondary teachers about their Van Hiele level regarding the proof in Geometry. We observe three different profiles whose characteristics are described. These descriptions allow us to foresee certain differences when carrying out proof teaching in secondary school. The…

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, specifies a loan origination fee of 1 percent for all Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and a fee of 4 percent for all Direct PLUS Loans for both parent borrowers and graduate and professional student borrowers. Student loan origination fees generated a staggering $1.7 billion in…

In 2019-20, there were 569 HSIs located in 30 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. These institutions represented 18% of all institutions of higher education and enrolled 67% of Latino undergraduates. In this fact sheet, we provide a summary of HSIs, Emerging HSIs (eHSIs), and HSIs with Graduate Programs (gHSIs).

Florida's high school graduation rate is based on the percentage of students who graduated with a standard diploma within four years of their first full year of enrollment in ninth grade in the state. However, adjustments are made to this cohort over time to: (1) add incoming transfer students based on their grade level and year of entry; (2)…

Whether studying physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, mathematics, humanities, or education, approximately one in every two doctoral students fail to persist to degree completion (Bowen & Rudenstine, 1992; Lovitts, 2001; Tinto, 2012). A quantitative comparative study focused on two populations; students currently enrolled in the…
