Objective: This study evaluated FITSTART+, a parent-based intervention (PBI), for preventing risky drinking among first-year college students. Participants: Participants were traditional first-year students aged between 17 and 20. Method: In total, 391 eligible students completed a baseline survey and their parents were then invited to use the…

Technology has transformed the work practices of higher education teachers (HETs), leading to stress associated with using such technology, known as technostress. Technostress in the higher education context has predominantly been framed in a negative light, assuming that harmful techno-stressors lead to adverse outcomes. Moreover, most…

The emergence of generative AI tools like ChatGPT has sparked investigations into their applications in teaching and learning. In computer programming education, efforts are underway to explore how this tool can enhance instructional practices. Despite the growing literature, there is a lack of synthesis on its use in this field. This rapid review…

Background: Before they graduate, higher education students must demonstrate technical skills in different procedures, where health degrees such as physiotherapy stand out for their practical nature. Procedural skill development requires students to uptake feedback continuously, which is costly in terms of time and effort. Although the…

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly transforms higher education, faculty are increasingly expected to integrate AI tools into curriculum design, assessment, and instruction, often without adequate preparation. This article examines how Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) can effectively support faculty adopting AI technologies through…

Health clinicians are required to make use of feedback to form effective judgements and deliver efficacious health care. In health education, clinical placements provide an opportunity for students to translate knowledge to practise and develop expertise. During placements students are expected to engage with and act on feedback in order to…

Research consistently shows the importance of teacher and peer feedback in enabling students to generate internal feedback for improved learning. However, the utilisation of Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) to support higher education students in generating internal feedback lacks clarity. This qualitative case study aimed to explore…

The concept of emotional maturity encompasses the ability to recognize, control, and constructively express one's emotions. It involves heightened self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a deeper understanding of others' feelings. Emotionally mature individuals are resilient in the face of adversity, able to maintain perspective, and approach…

Background/purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of the Online Peer-Review Technique (OPRT) in enhancing the paragraph writing skills of first year English major students. Materials/methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design to assess the effects of the Online Peer-Review Technique (OPRT) through Facebook on improving paragraph…

Advances in brain imaging have led to a paradigm shift in neuroscience research, moving from focusing on individual brain structures to investigating neural networks and connections. However, neuroanatomy education still tends to concentrate on discrete brain regions. Two separate experiments in undergraduate neuroscience courses investigated…

The development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has led to intense wonder, surprise, excitement, and concern within the language teaching profession. These tools offer the potential to assist language teachers in helping their learners achieve their language learning goals, and at the same time, risk disrupting language teaching and…

This systematic review explores effective leadership mechanisms for managing cultural diversity in universities, aiming to identify key practices that foster a positive and inclusive academic environment. A systematic review methodology was used to search electronic databases and Google Scholar, resulting in the inclusion of 22 studies published…

This study explored the feasibility of a blended training program model on the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) strategies by pre-service education speech pathology students. The training incorporated Read-Ask-Answer (RAA) and naturalistic Show-Wait-Respond (SWR) techniques, aiming to increase participants' competence in AAC…

With the emergence of new technologies, various methods for providing online peer feedback have become available. While the effects of online peer feedback on student perceptions and learning are often compared to those of offline peer feedback, there is a lack of research comparing different online feedback environments. This study focuses on how…

AI-enabled assessment of student papers has the potential to provide both summative and formative feedback and reduce the time spent on grading. Using auto-ethnography, this study compares AI-enabled and human assessment of business student examination papers in a law module based on previously established rubrics. Examination papers were…
