This article presents a study exploring students' experiences as co-creators of the curriculum in three master's level courses within a teacher education programme at the University of Akureyri, a small state university in Iceland. The authors, who also oversaw the courses, adopted the principles of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)…

Research highlights academic, mentoring, and personal characteristics students associate with ideal supervision. The Graduate Student Experience Survey (GSES) invited graduate students from all disciplines to share their views on the qualities and characteristics of ideal supervision. The quantity and diversity responses posed a challenge: How can…

Background: Many researchers work on the design and development of multimodal collaboration support systems with AI, yet very few of these systems are mature enough to provide actionable feedback to students in real-world settings. Therefore, a notable gap exists in the literature regarding students' perceptions of such systems and the feedback…

Research has revealed that critical thinking (CT) can predict undergraduate academic performance well. It is essential for nurturing students' unique voice and creativity, especially in the era of Large Language Models (LLMs). LLMs can generate linguistically complex texts, potentially overshadowing students' authorial voices--particularly those…

This paper introduces a new measure of the labor markets served by colleges and universities across the United States. About 50% of recent college graduates are living and working in the metro area nearest the institution they attended, with this figure climbing to 67% in-state. The geographic dispersion of alumni is more than twice as great for…

Recent research has indicated that the manner in which single-case data are typically displayed for visual analysis may influence rater decisions regarding the effect of an intervention. Subsequently, researchers have encouraged adherence to a standard assembly for linear graphs in order to control these effects. Others, however, have encouraged…

California defines college and career readiness broadly. Almost four in five students are not academically prepared for college success. Trends in college preparatory course-taking show promise. Strong high school graduation rates may not reflect college readiness. Demand for college is high but preparing students requires collaboration. This fact…

This study undertook a comparative analysis of the assessment of transversal competences using two methods, one based on self-assessment and the other on external evaluation, to verify whether there was a (mis)match between the two. Self-assessment was based on the scores obtained through a self-report survey, and external evaluation was based on…

M-DCPS had 22,891 graduates in the 2023-2024 academic year. Ninety two percent of students achieved a standard diploma (24 credits). Some students chose an international curriculum pathway, where 903 (4%) achieved an Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) diploma and 482 (2%) achieved an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. An…

Online education is considered a type of education in which students and faculty members use their own devices to access the internet instead of presenting physically in the institution. The present study aimed to explore positive exploration of online teaching-learning at the postgraduate level at the University of Dhaka. Under a qualitative…

This qualitative study examines the experiences of first-year TAs as they conducted teacher research projects in the TA practicum. We argue that teacher research in the practicum provides a way to bridge teaching and knowledge making, foster a continual and layered learning practice, and extend the learning of the practicum beyond the first year.

This study examines differences in teachers' uptake of critical language pedagogy during a 16-week graduate course. Drawing on narrative constructs of personal, professional, and linguistic identity, the study shows that the more tightly teachers integrate hegemonic language ideologies into their various identities, the more hesitant they are to…

Socially shared regulated learning (SSRL) plays a crucial role in enhancing collaborative learning processes. This study explores the association between medical residents' team action, SSRL and heart rate changes using BioWorld, a technology-rich learning environment (TRE) designed to support medical practitioners' diagnostic reasoning skills as…

Many different factors influence students' sense of belonging in an online learning. One area of the learning experience in which a sense of "belonging" is critical is in online asynchronous discussions, and the degree to which students feel that their contributions to those discussions are valued. Unfortunately, the structure of…

Biomedical engineering is a rapidly evolving field, with the pace of evolution spurred by technological advancements, the increasing complexity of human health challenges, and globalization of the workforce. It is timely for biomedical engineering educators to explore afresh the competencies that graduates need at present, but more importantly,…
