Workshops create a collaborative and/or sharing environment that supports our design education and turns it into an interactive one. They are important meeting places for students who continue their design education in different disciplines in different places to communicate and provide common working platforms. Therefore, such organisations,…

The improvement of existing science education interventions and the development of new ones requires cohesive, large-scale evaluation and testing that inform what works, for whom, and in what context. Systems approaches to design, implement, and evaluate interventions require knowledge, skills, and expertise in studying humans alongside the lived…

Higher education is facing an existential crisis. Students and staff are surveilled with cameras and facial recognition software. Police zip-tie and arrest students during protests. As universities across the United States become epicenters of ideological warfare, "Policing Higher Education" contextualizes these skirmishes within a…

The paper deals with the complex theme of the online universities in Italy, starting from the phenomenon historical reconstruction and framing the universities on the basis of the main analysis metrics (property, training offer, organic, territorial dislocation). Subsequently, the paper examines the composition and characteristics of the students…

Expectations of how theory, empirical material, and methods should be dealt with in academic writing has not always been explicitly communicated to students. Due to a heterogeneity in student populations enrolled in higher degree courses worldwide, diversity in academic writing practices has increased. This paper explores academic writing…

Most previous studies on creativity and motivation looked into the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations on creativity. However, there have been newer motivation approaches related to work orientation and needs that may offer a chance to gain new insight into how people think about creativity. The present study used a hypothetical hiring…

Background/Objective: This study uses distance learning theory-based learning environment instrument development research with a unique design for culturally sensitive factors in the learning environment as the grand theory used. Therefore, the planning of this learning environment instrument requires a relationship that refers to the three…

Background/purpose: The use of digital tools influences academic performance, either improving learning or distracting students. In that framework, the research was conducted to analyze how the use of digital tools influences the academic performance of university students from a cross-sectional perspective. The objective was to investigate the…

While the educational value of formative assessment is widely acknowledged, the precise amount needed to effectively predict student performance on summative assessments remains unclear. This study investigates the relationship between intermediate formative assessment performance and final exam scores, addressing the critical question of how much…

Background/purpose: The paradigm shift in education from lecturer-centered to student-centered learning demands an approach that involves students more actively. In this context, providing feedback becomes a crucial element in improving student engagement and academic performance; therefore, it is necessary to examine its strategic role in…

The result of this grounded theory study was the Muxerista Activist Consciousness Development Framework as a guiding model for identity and sociopolitical consciousness development for queer Latinx/a/o college student activists. This framework encompasses the cognitive, behavioral, social-political, and corporeal reality of queer Latinx/a/o…

Background/purpose. The strategic goal of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy is to develop scientifically and technologically equipped global citizens who are innovators and problem-solvers in a rapidly changing world. The study contributes to this goal by drawing pedagogical implications from examining college…

Private universities are increasingly shaping the global higher education landscape, with distance education playing a key role in their expansion. While research has explored institutional and policy factors influencing private higher education, the role of student satisfaction within this framework remains underexamined. This study addresses…

This study examines how students engage in the prosumption (production-consumption) of online lending services in Indonesia and how these services contribute to students falling into the trap of hyper-consumerism. Using multi-sited ethnography, this study explores how Cicil's online lending practices, an online lending platform targeting higher…

The Chinese Proficiency Test or "Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi" (HSK) significantly influences International Chinese Language Education (ICLE). The washback effect of the HSK has received less attention in earlier research studies. This study applied a mixed-methods research design to examine the HSK washback effect on ICLE in relation to value,…
