Considering the importance of subject retrieval for scientific visibility, and the need to guide authors in self-archiving their papers in institutional repositories of university libraries, this study observed the patterns and strategies used by authors while indexing for keyword assignment. The study examined four categories of analysis:…

The desire of higher-ed leadership to internationalize programs to attract foreign students may not align with the perspectives of educators in the classroom. In the elementary and secondary school settings, a teacher's perspective can impact culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) student achievement. However, the current literature does not…

This paper reflects on Freire's discourse on liberating education and adult educators' educational roles with community groups in transforming communities.

Purpose: This study intended to bridge this gap by investigating the perspectives of international students regarding Taiwan's bilingual education policy and its impact on their willingness to enroll in graduate programs in Taiwan. Additionally, the comparisons among international students from diverse backgrounds were examined.…

This initial qualitative study used in-depth interview data from students to examine their perceptions of ChatGPT and intentions regarding using artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. The students were sampled across business programmes at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels at an International University in the UAE. As of…

Purpose: This study examined the implementation of an agile-blended learning (ABL) approach in a master-level early childhood research course and assessed its impact on the learning experience. The purpose was to understand how incorporating ABL concepts affected flexibility, learner autonomy, collaboration and technology mediation, the core…

This study designed and pilot-tested a learning path in Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) to facilitate learners' Self-regulated Learning. 122 postgraduates who joined an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) course at a comprehensive university in China were evenly divided into two groups. The experimental group used PLEs with…

Research highlights the third space as a theory to enhance the practicum experience. This study explores how Collaborative Synchronous Coaching (CSC) can enable concepts found in the literature regarding the third space and initial teacher education (ITE).

Objective: We provide a step-by-step guide for developing, administering, evaluating, and acting on a survey-based study of graduate student mental health. Methods: Blueprint focuses on forging student-faculty collaboration and is based on Harvard University's Graduate Student Mental Health Initiative (GSMHI). The survey tool we use includes…

Engineering lacks quantitative measures of racism and sexism in engineering graduate education. Racial and gendered disparities in participation, persistence, and experience combined with qualitative evidence indicate that discrimination interferes with marginalized students' well-being and degree completion. The Discrimination in Engineering…

Teaching in inclusive schools comes with a variety of ethical challenges, for which student teachers of general and special needs education should acquire ethical competence as part of their inclusion-oriented teacher training. Due to the lack of empirical studies on this area of teacher training in Germany to date, students in Masters degree…

Despite an emerging emphasis on the role of engineers in achieving the SDGs, there is still a lack of agreement on which competencies should be prioritised to prepare them to tackle future sustainability challenges. By formulating a theoretical framework of key sustainable competencies based on prior studies, this study investigated engineering…

Diversity and inclusivity are increasingly recognized as vital for academic excellence and workforce preparation in higher education. However, discrimination remains a significant challenge, particularly affecting underrepresented minority students, hindering their career aspirations and success, even after achieving higher education levels. This…
