With sport now fully immersed in the era of big data, there is a need for sport managers who are data literate and, therefore, capable of collecting, managing, evaluating, and applying data to the range of problems and scenarios encountered by industry personnel. However, many in the sport management academy remain unacquainted with the…

This article is a self-study of intentional practices embedded in reflective teaching in a teacher education program in Eritrea. The educator-researcher (author) was concerned with engaging learner-teachers in interactive teaching practices in general and reflective learning practices in particular. By employing self-study methods and tools, the…

This study investigates current practices in how admissions policies are communicated through student-facing web pages. One hundred fifty web pages (30 institutions, 5 admissions web pages each, stratified by degree-level and major) were scraped for information about holistic admissions policies and required application materials. Overall, more…

Preventing panel members from attriting is a fundamental challenge for panel surveys. Research has shown that response behavior in earlier waves (response or nonresponse) is a good predictor of panelists' response behavior in upcoming waves. However, response behavior can be described in greater detail by considering the time until the response is…

This study serves to collate and evaluate measures of self-directed learning (SDL), with the goal of guiding the measurement and discussion of SDL. Used in a variety of settings, many applications of SDL have been proposed, but a consistent definition has yet to be formulated. Despite the lack of a cohesive definition, several tools exist to…

Diversity is an important issue in higher education communication and media programs. This study shows how librarians can use audit data to assess and strive for diversity in their library's print monographic collections. This article explores aspects of diversity within two fields of study, communication and media, and discusses the results of a…

An inequitable distribution of resources and opportunities for marginalized students (i.e., opportunity gaps) leads to challenges in identifying effective study behaviors, metacognition, and academic help-seeking in higher education. While students benefit when these skills are taught explicitly through co-curricular workshops and courses, these…

Studying abroad entails international students' identity (trans)formation and social network development, but individuals' decisions and choices while engaging in these processes remain underexplored. Informed by the notion of agency in second language socialization theory, this longitudinal case study examined the interplay of identity and social…

Previous studies have reported the importance of regulation in collaborative learning. To understand and support students' learning, researchers have identified that regulation in collaboration emerges as a series of contingent activities at individual and social levels, addressing various learning foci in cognitive, motivational, emotional, and…

Applying the tenets of QuantCrit, longitudinal trends in estimated graduate school enrollment percentages for Black and White students from 2002 to 2018 were analyzed and compared using U.S. Department of Education data. While the statistical analyses for Black students confirmed a positive linear trend, the relatively recent downward movement…

Background and Aims: The reliability and validity of an intervention can be improved by checking treatment fidelity (TF). TF methods identify core components of an intervention, check their presence (or absence) and identify threats to fidelity. The Virtual Elaborated Semantic Feature Analysis (VESFA) intervention comprised individual sessions of…

Using qualitative open item analysis, MBA alumni were asked their perceptions of competencies, skills and concepts developed or reinforced in a client-focused team project MBA capstone course. The replies from 167 respondents were aggregated together over a nine-year period from 2013 to 2021. Conversion of coded responses to managerial…

Structural equation modeling and autoethnography have rarely been integrated in scientific studies. The example employs a convergent intensive longitudinal data collection strategy and an explanatory bidirectional framework for data merging analysis to examine one instructor's practices of incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) and…

In this article, the authors explore their motivations for conceiving of and assembling the current issue on comparative religious studies as a viable pedagogical orientation for our troubled times. Situated in both the history of comparison as a method and scholarship on effective pedagogy, it argues that disciplined, scholarly, sound comparative…

Traditional teaching methods like lectures can hinder the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in higher education. To address this challenge, digital simulation games (DSGs) offer promising solutions through immersive and interactive learning experiences. Research shows that DSGs can motivate learners, enhance subject…
