Literature and research have shown that professional development constitutes an essential dimension in constructing both work and professional identity. An important aspect in such development is training. In the field of adult education, different authors (Pratt, 1993; Mezirow, 1985; Schön, 1996; Silva, 2007) emphasize the importance of placing…

A number of studies have examined the impact of changes in price on students' enrollment decisions at the undergraduate level, but little is known about the price responsiveness of graduate and professional students. This dissertation utilizes difference-in-differences and regression-discontinuity methods to analyze student-level data for admitted…

Hispanics are the fastest-growing minority in the US, over the last decade, the Hispanic population went from 50.5 million in 2010 to 62.1 million in 2020. Hispanics were responsible for 51% of the entire U.S. population growth during that period. Despite this population surge, Hispanic students, faculty, and leaders continue to be…

China serves as an indispensable recruitment market for higher education institutions across the globe. Using large-scale administrative and survey data from one of China's pipeline provinces for sending students abroad, we provide new evidence on the factors influencing Chinese students' graduate school choices internationally. We model…

The efficacy of EdD lecturers in supporting students in developing research skills and competencies was found to be essential in graduate education. This qualitative case study evaluated the effectiveness of graduate faculty in assisting graduate students in developing research competencies. The study found that effective EdD professors…

This research was guided by a problem of practice experienced by an EdD program, which transitioned to a fully online modality during the pandemic and rapidly grew in enrollment. The problem evaluated was ensuring the redesigned program milestones -- capstone and comprehensive exam -- are feasible given the size of the program. The current study…

This paper presents the best practices used by institutional review boards (IRBs) and human research protections programs (HRPPs) to prepare online graduate student investigators for human research protections specific to research within online graduate degree programs or where research supervisors are not proximal to graduate student…

Scanning probe-based microscopes (SPMs) are widely used in biology, chemistry, materials science, and physics to image and manipulate matter on the nanoscale. Unfortunately, high school and university departments lack expensive SPM tools and materials microscopy activities to educate a large number of students in this vital SPM imaging technique.…

Cooperative education and principles associated with learning ecosystems appear throughout the literature. However, the application of cooperative education and learning ecosystems to work-integrated learning has not been fully examined.
