In this paper, we report findings from a multiple case study that examined how instructors used shared data when teaching qualitative data analysis. More specifically, we explored both instructor and student experiences in two graduate-level qualitative methods courses located at U.S. universities. Drawing upon thematic analysis and the theory of…

This paper explores the value in expanding existing compliance-focused approaches to research ethics, to one which facilitates researchers' ongoing ethical reflexivity. The authors explore the use of 'ethical trialogues' -- or technology-mediated reflective discussions -- between doctoral research students as a means of fostering deeper ethical…

Cell biology research methods and techniques is one of the training courses for graduate students before enter the laboratory in many universities. However, due to the limited time of experimental teaching while the teaching contents are increasing, choosing suitable teaching content has always been a challenge faced by experimental teaching.…

Phrasal verbs present persistent challenges for second language (L2) learners due to their figurative meanings, multiple interpretations, and variable word order. This article reviews five strands of research that contribute to effective phrasal verb instruction: corpus-based studies, which identify what to teach, and four instructional…

Participation in citizen science enables students to gain authentic research experience through collaboration with expert scientists. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate how the interactions between expert scientists and student citizen scientists were mediated through the collaborative investigation and co-creation of…

This Technical Annex report sets out methodological and technical notes for the 2024 Technical Education Learner Survey. It accompanies two substantive reports -- 'Technical Education Learner Survey 2024: progression of the 2nd T Level cohort' and 'Technical Education Learner Survey 2024: progression of Level 4/5 learners'. The main body of the…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and apply machine learning methods that accommodate and leverage process heterogeneity when investigating mediation. We develop causal machine learning methods that relax assumptions of (indirect) effect homogeneity, accommodate high dimensional mediator sets, capture heterogeneous,…

Doctoral students and apprentices are much alike. Doctoral students are treated as junior academic scholars. They must follow and learn different knowledge and research skills from their senior academic scholars, mainly supervisors and other congenial faculty members within the department. During the process, reflectivity is one of their vital…

Background: Knowledge brokering by intermediary organizations includes knowledge distillation processes (e.g., synthesis, translation). Aims and objectives: This article explores how an educational intermediary performs research distillation when creating virtual knowledge reservoirs for educators. Methods: The authors use qualitative data from…

This practitioner reflection piece discusses and evaluates the experiences of the authors overseeing undergraduate research internship projects in the discipline of history. It considers the opportunities such a scheme can afford the intern, and the potential for contribution to historical scholarship.

Presently, a variety of policies and measures has implemented to enhance the scientific research and innovation ability of medical students, but in the process of practice, there are many problems, such as they lack of independent topic selection ability, weak scientific research skills, lack of autonomous learning ability, the research results…

Education inevitably influences society and our future. As literature and experience tells, educational leaders impact not only their institutions, but ultimately the learning outcomes for a large portion of society's members. Educational leaders are charged with more than creating a viable future for an institution; they are also charged with…

This paper describes an innovative and replicable approach to teaching qualitative research through archived oral histories. Undergraduates with no research experience were able to pursue individual research questions and prepare a public conference presentation within one semester. In so doing, this approach overcame the barrier of a shortened…

In his 2017 ASHE Presidential Address, Shaun Harper first named some historical, compositional, curricular, and editorial manifestations of white power in U.S. universities and in the study of higher education. He then talked specifically about the preservation of white property rights and racialized socialization norms in our field. President…

This project explored the impact of a research mentoring program on the development of graduate trainees' mentoring competencies. Graduate students participating in a research mentoring program completed the Mentoring Competency Assessment at the beginning and end of the program. Undergraduate students also provided an evaluation of their mentors'…
