In this paper I describe the integration of taijutsu, a martial art emerging from the Japanese ninja tradition, into an MBA complexity leadership course. There is broad consensus amongst leadership scholars that intangible qualities such as humility, courage, and uncertainty tolerance are particularly important in complex contexts. There is,…

Objectives: Internships can bring a host of professional and academic benefits to students. Then, how do User Experience (UX) internships influence Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) graduate students' professional and academic growth? What are the challenges experienced by HCI graduate students during internships? We explored these two research…

There is little research on the transformational processes of creative arts therapies (CATs) students during training compared to other healthcare professions. CATs training relies on arts-based experiential learning that can develop the therapist's creative self-beliefs, psychological mindedness, and perspective-taking. This single group pre-post…

The purpose of this study was to examine the lived experiences of fifteen counselors-in-training (CITs) who had completed a sexuality counseling course. The study design was a thematic analysis of qualitative codes developed through a constant comparative method applied to transcribed interviews. Four themes were found: (a) competency issues, (b)…

Although the Council on Social Work Education has identified field education and macro practice as core domains in social work education, there has been limited research examining the implementation of macro practice elements in field education settings. As part of a larger research project examining field instructors' inclusion of macro and…

The aim of this article is to examine collective memory work (CMW) as a method for turning the work-life experiences of adult learners in a part-time master's program into a collective knowledge resource, thereby strengthening the interplay between theory and practice in the students' learning processes. CMW is a well-known qualitative research…

The January 2022 60-Second Survey focused on the availability of different programmatic and mentorship offerings for newly admitted undergraduate and graduate students. In the framework of the survey and report, there is a differentiation between mentor programs and other newly admitted student programming. They prioritize matching newly admitted…

Twenty nine students who had previously taken an undergraduate thermal physics course were interviewed about their basic knowledge about statistical mechanics at the undergraduate level. Of these 29, fourteen were undergraduate students, and fifteen were graduate students at varying stages of their career. This project aimed to identify and…

This article makes a case for the need of graduate leadership curricula, including professional programs such as health care, law, and engineering. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is focused on as a critical piece of this leadership curricula.

Purpose: Many master's students enrol in coursework-based programmes to improve their professional knowledge and skills for the job market. Most studies of employability in higher education focus on undergraduates rather than master's students, although the number of master's students worldwide has increased significantly in recent years. This…

Virtual reality has become a significant asset to diversify the existing toolkit supporting engineering education and training. The cognitive and behavioral advantages of virtual reality (VR) can help lecturers reduce entry barriers to concepts that students struggle with. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are imperative tools…

The present article explores the experiences of two international graduate students who studied in the United States and how they dealt with the challenges of living in a new country. The researcher was inspired by Bhabha's (1994) third space theory and aimed to investigate how these students tried to create a space for themselves in the classroom…

This study of 12,851 students from 34 member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities examined the predictors of student thriving, as well as racial and ethnic differences in thriving and its predictors, within undergraduate, adult, and graduate student samples. Thriving was defined as being vitally engaged in the…

Given the prevalence of misconduct in research and among students in higher education, there is a need to create solutions for how best to prevent such behaviour in academia. This paper proceeds on the assumption that one way forward is to prepare students in higher education at an early stage and to encourage a smoother transition from academic…

Feedback on writing, we argue, consists of a series of micro-events which encourage students to make sense of task requirements, negotiate assessment decisions, and reorganize their performance. While students' interpretations of 'effective feedback' have been widely discussed and problematized, less attention has been devoted to how they improve…
