Traditionally, research and academic writing associated with autism in education has focused on males. Consequently, a range of complex factors has led to the misdiagnosis or late diagnosis of autistic female learners, rendering their needs unrecognised and inappropriately supported. This ethnographic study, based in a mainstream Welsh-medium…

This co-authored case study shares student perspectives on the relationship between daily debriefs and their experiential learning during a 5-day regenerative tourism field study. The pedagogical goal of this partnership was to offer five MA in Tourism Management students the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills, attributes and appreciation of…

While generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are gradually being integrated into educational practice, their actual usability in classroom settings remains insufficiently understood. This mixed-methods research was designed as a small-sample pilot study, offering preliminary insights to inform a future large-scale scientific evaluation. The…

Evidence indicates that undergraduate students value the Me in a Minute video strategy as a mechanism for developing employability articulation skills. However, an in-depth analysis of students' ability to create a Me in a Minute video that effectively articulates employability strengths has not been conducted. An assessed Me in a Minute module…

This article presents a cooperative inquiry into the lived experience of pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree with publications or creative works. Drawing on the insights of five online PhD students and their two supervisors in an Australian online program, the research objective is to present perspectives contemporaneous with the online…

There are significant levels of poverty and child poverty in Scotland and research has focussed on the impact of poverty on school education. However, there is more limited research on the impact of poverty on students in higher education in Scotland and the wider UK. This study focussed on the poverty experienced by students on an undergraduate…

Although ultrasound (US) appears to complement traditional anatomy teaching, limited objective data exist on its efficacy. Existing literature often relies on student perceptions rather than performance-based outcomes. Additionally, the role of spatial understanding (SU)--the ability to mentally manipulate and interpret 3D anatomical…

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among Eastern European students enrolled in master's programmes in Denmark, this article sheds light on the dominant geographical imaginaries, which have informed their decision to pursue an education abroad. Difficulties in aligning their life with a desired life trajectory in their home countries make the…

Impostor phenomenon among Latina faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is understudied. Latinas hold only 1.7% of all STEM-related jobs, experiencing both mistreatment (conscious and unconscious; physical, and mental forms of harassment and violence) and impostor phenomenon (feeling like a fraud and the inability to…

Health professional students may experience overlaps between their own lives and their course of study. Such experiences may include: personal experiences of illness or disability; family illness, caregiving or bereavement; and collective experiences of health inequities. However, little is known about the role of such experiences in students'…

This qualitative study analyzed what shaped the aspirations of Black women graduate student alumnae to earn advanced degrees. Using an assets-based conceptual framework of Community Cultural Wealth and Black Feminist Thought, findings suggested that the aspirational capital of Black women alumnae who obtained advanced degrees was fueled by other…

Background: Attending and responding to when and where teachers are with respect to change--the temporal aspects of teacher learning--can yield more effective professional development (PD) efforts. Toward this end, we conceptualize phases of learning in a PD program, and how these phases are shaped by teacher learning ecologies. Methods:…

Equity students entering higher education through Enabling programs often encounter significant challenges as they transition into the academic field. This transition involves navigating the hysteresis juncture, a moment of misalignment between students' ingrained habitus and the expectations of the academic environment. This study explores the…

Purpose: There is a lack of clarity about what constitutes Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education and what the arts contribute. In this paper the authors discuss a distinct model, theorised from a five-year study of a particular, innovative STEAM education project ("The Imagineerium"), and developed by…

Most existing literature on college students' use of the course syllabus has been conducted in artificial settings, collected a limited range of data, or both. This study addresses this gap in the literature with a series of in-depth qualitative interviews with students at a community college about how they interact with a syllabus from one of…
