Disruptions impacting the teaching and learning aspects of instruction have been realized throughout the Twentieth Century as well as the dawning of the Twenty-First Century with the Information Age also referred to as the Digital Age and even the Fourth Industrial Revolution as artificial intelligence and serious gaming are introduced into the…

Positioning and repositioning continue to be critical topics in business strategy, and yet a review of current business research syllabi from several institutions showed that very few institutions teach the analytical underpinnings of how perceptual maps can be created using multidimensional scaling and how they should be interpreted. At the…

A controversial innovation within the rapidly expanding field of teacher education is the relocation of teacher preparation to new graduate schools of education (nGSEs), which are not university based but are state authorized and approved as institutions of higher education to prepare teachers, endorse them for initial teacher certification, and…

With the continued shortage of teachers in agricultural education, the teacher preparation faculty in agricultural education at Texas Tech University began a series of investigations evaluating the teacher preparation program. These evaluations sought to identify areas for improvement and determine if elements of the student teaching experience…

The present study aims to examine the effect of teachers' attitudes towards statistics on their attitudes towards postgraduate education. Accordingly, the "Attitude Towards Statistics Scale" and the "Attitude Towards Postgraduate Education Scale" were applied to 511 teachers working in different fields of primary schools,…

Alternative assessment approaches, such as pass/fail and feedback-based designs, aim to reduce academic stress and foster deeper learning. Few studies have examined feedback-based evaluation in formative settings in medical education, but none among graduate anatomy students. This exploratory study investigated the impact of feedback-based versus…

Active recall, the act of recalling knowledge from memory, and games-based learning, the use of games and game elements for learning, are well-established as effective strategies for learning gross anatomy. An activity that applies both principles is Catch-Phrase, a fast-paced word guessing game. In Anatomy Catch-Phrase, players must get their…

The instructor-student collaborative partnership has potential to transform education from a traditional, instructor-directed teaching to an active student-centred learning. However, it is not easy to promote the instructor-student collaborative partnership in the Eastern education contexts like China, due to the didactic, instructor-directed,…

This article presents a method to evaluate undergraduate and postgraduate course teaching efficiency systematically, alongside measuring effectiveness of curriculum content and delivery. We argue that efficiency is aligned to cost and revenue while effectiveness is a quality-related construct. These potentially antagonistic elements -- cost,…

How can we teach inter-organizational collaboration? Reflecting on series of experimental library and information science courses taught from 2011-2015, the Youth Services Community Engagement courses grew out of an IMLS-funded grant focused on innovative services to youth. The course required service-learning experiences in organizations other…

This study is concerned with the first experiences of in-service mathematics teachers in consuming scholarly mathematics education literature. Growing from the meta-didactical transposition model, we were interested in the praxeologies that may develop from teachers' engagement with research articles. The data were collected from a cohort of 13…

One of the responses to the demands of graduate education in the United States has been the development of faculty directors of graduate programs within academic departments. The title for this position varies widely, but it is most commonly called Graduate Program Director (GPD). The GPD serves at the departmental level and is key in the…

In the present study I use teacher value added and evaluation rating data from North Carolina public schools to estimate the signaling and human capital effects of graduate degrees. These analyses consider the effects of graduate degrees, overall, and the effects of graduate degrees inside and outside teachers' area(s) of teaching. Signaling…

In the context of higher education as social space or "field" in the Bourdieusian sense, exploring the lived experiences of early career postgraduate supervisors allow us to (re)consider the institutionalised rhythms, procedures and practices that shape graduate supervision. At the intersections of, inter alia, increasing numbers…

This study explores teacher educators' beliefs and practices related to the modeling of effective instruction in the pre-service classroom. Previous research has shown that when teacher educators model effective instructional practice, there are positive learning outcomes for pre-service teachers and for teacher educators (Daniel, 2011; DeLuca,…
