Higher education and workforce systems have reformed over the last decade. These reforms are in response to an evolving economy, irregular political environment, a damaging pandemic, and declining enrollment in postsecondary education, and are an attempt to better prepare employees for new occupations and increased competition for students. One…

This article and project perfectly illustrate community, connection, and collaboration across disciplines and institutions. As history has shown us, sometimes it is difficult to study abroad or offer cultural immersion opportunities for students when global catastrophes or geopolitics maketravel difficult. Instead, this project approximates…

As the title suggests, this article shows how the authors took teaching-related ideas and developed them -- through the steps of drafting, review, and revising -- into published articles. Using examples of the steps involved, the authors explore options for how others in the field of English teaching might productively write for publication as…

Explicit teaching of metacognition, 'thinking about one's thinking,' has been shown to improve achievement scores in the general chemistry tests and facilitate the awareness and adoption of metacognitive strategies. However, very few studies have investigated variations in the reported metacognitive strategies employed by college science majors by…

By the beginning of 2020, there were widespread school closures caused by the spread of coronavirus for an unknown duration. Consequently, many schools turned to online learning using a software application, or a video conferencing system. As high levels of self-directed learning (SDL) are important for the quality of online learning, the present…

Background: Self-regulated learning (SRL) encompasses the strategies and behaviours that allow students to transform cognitive abilities into task-specific academic skills. Research in higher education has found a relationship between SRL and academic outcomes. However, whether SRL improves as students gain educational experience in undergraduate…

ChatGPT employs a deep learning (DL) model constructed using artificial neural networks and designed to analyze input data and extract increasingly complex features (Hu and Buehler 2023). Its chatbot interface makes it easy to use, requiring just a prompt to generate a response from the model. It is capable of producing fluent text in multiple…

This research contributes to helping educational establishments across the world develop self-efficacy techniques to improve communication skills within an accounting course design and other disciplines. This paper asks the research question: Does self-efficacy enhance accounting students' communication ability? Previous research has identified…

The literature on autonomous language learning reveals both, scholars' great enthusiasm for the revolutionary potential of learner autonomy as well as pessimism for its continual depoliticization within higher education. Similar to how 'learner autonomy' is still today an unfinished construct that raises considerable confusion among scholars, the…

The term "transcreation" has become popular over the last decade in the language services industry. It has also gained traction in the creative industries. Previous research demonstrates there is an interest in introducing transcreation training in Translation and Interpreting studies, possibly as a result of its growing popularity in…

Social research methodologists have postulated that the transparency of survey procedures and data processing is mandatory for assessing the Total Survey Error. Recent analyses of data from cross-national surveys have demonstrated an increase in the quality of documentation reports over time and significant differences in documentation quality…

Effective time management, encompassing prioritization, overcoming procrastination, and balancing socialization, is crucial for academic success as it enables students to optimize their productivity, focus on important tasks, and maintain a healthy work-life balance, leading to improved academic achievements. Thus, the present study tried to…

Background/Context: The sense of belonging to a school is important for students, in terms of various short- and long-term developmental and academic outcomes. The inequities in the sense of school belonging among Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students may reveal a severe lack of opportunities or serious process gaps for these…

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very powerful analytical method that has found many applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine. It is an indispensable tool particularly for synthetic chemists because it can be used for a rapid elucidation of the structures of organic compounds. For this reason, NMR spectral…

The purpose of this article is to describe the possibilities of using worksheets in the teaching of lipids and proteins. The worksheet includes a concept map, suggestions for three safe experiments that can be performed with available household chemicals, and observation results. The worksheets were implemented into action research in two classes…
