The relationship between academic stress and compulsive smartphone use among college students has been extensively studied, yet empirical findings remain inconsistent and inconclusive. Moreover, potential moderating factors affecting this relationship have received limited scholarly attention. This study addresses these research gaps by examining…

Data from 296 college students were analyzed to examine their use and perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. A diverse sample across different academic majors reported relatively pervasive use of AI tools. Almost 80% reported using voice assistants such as Alexa, Google, and SIRI. Nearly three-fourths reported using ChatGPT, one of the…

We propose inviting the body into the university writing process through somatic pedagogical practices. This study investigates an effort to write from our body and through our body in a course where students used the body as a site of creation. Challenging mind-body dualism and the erasure of bodily ways of knowing, students participated in…

Numerous studies highlight that the high adoption rates of e-learning management systems (e-LMSs) are not necessarily matched by their actual use among students in sub-Saharan African higher education. Nevertheless, factors such as perceived behavioral control of e-LMS, teaching activities in e-LMS, administrative activities in e-LMS, and…

Most students who begin at a community college do not complete their desired credential. Many students fail to graduate due to various barriers other than their academic performance. To encourage previously successful non-completers to re-enroll and eventually graduate, a growing number of community colleges have implemented re-enrollment…

This paper suggested that one way that ongoing issues of equity and justice in outdoor adventure education (OAE) is prioritized is through the critical renovation of sense of place (SOP) curriculum. The researcher shared findings from a qualitative study that considered participant experiences as a way to understand how SOP in the outdoors can…

To date, participation in an international classroom has been positioned as a means to prepare most Dutch higher education students to live and work in a globalised world. Nevertheless, it is not clear how the international classroom is defined and how lecturers should be equipped to deliver on its potential for Internationalisation at Home,…

The "Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education" report establishes a set of five core concepts that students should build an understanding of throughout college biology programs. While student conceptual understanding is well studied in 4-year contexts, there are minimal studies in community college contexts. Community…

A strong sense of belonging is positively related to students' emotional wellbeing, academic motivation, and success in higher education (HE). The research on which this paper is based was conducted in an ancient Scottish university and used a mixed methods approach including analysis of administrative data, a survey and case studies of commuter…

This report from HEPI's Director of Policy, Rose Stephenson, aims to understand students' experiences of menstruation education and the day-to-day impact of menstrual cycles and periods on students' higher education studies. Based on a survey of over 1,500 UK higher education students and 13 semi-structured interviews, it makes a series of…

Despite the spread of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and applications, the Apple Vision Pro (AVP) stands out for its innovative features compared to other types of wearable technology. Moreover, traditional glasses have been deficient in incorporating many AI innovations that could enhance user experiences and pose new challenges. In response…

Objective: Most undocumented students enter higher education through community colleges, yet these institutions typically offer less support than four-year universities. Using Shumaker and Brownell's theory of social support, we aimed to understand how resources at community colleges influenced undocumented students' persistence. Specifically, we…

This research explores the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on ideation and concept design of social robots capable of undertaking sustained long-duration human-robot interaction. The work reported here was developed between 2021 and 2024 through classroom teaching executed in four editions of 3-day project workshops involving…

Irrelevant but salient (automatically processed) variables of a given science or mathematics task are known to cause intuitive interference with formal reasoning, leading to incorrect responses. To help students overcome intuitive interference, one approach focuses on a warning intervention which aims at activating executive control mechanisms,…

Purpose: This study examines the challenges faced by both the groups and explores interconnections to reduce this disconnect. Design/methodology/approach: A survey with closed and open-ended questions was administered to 77 faculty members and 274 students across nine higher education institutions. Responses were analyzed through content analysis…
