Which domain-specific self-evaluations are most central to children's global self-worth? And does this differ between countries with different levels of collectivism-individualism? We conducted a preregistered cross-cultural meta-analysis to address these questions. We included 141 independent samples (21 countries/regions, 584 cross-sectional…

Context: The "U.S. News & World Report" college ranking system is used to describe the best graduate programs in the country. Rankings of graduate programs are based solely on perceived ratings of quality by directors and/or deans. Athletic training is not listed by "U.S. News & World Report"; however, the Commission on…

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…

Existing research has studied the underrepresentation of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) students enrolling in and graduating from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in college (e.g., Okahana et al., 2018; Rincón & Lane, 2017). However, there is a dearth of research that examines the precollegiate…

The last two decades have witnessed an ongoing effort to re-design the education doctorate to prepare practitioners to conduct research as a key aspect of their practice. As part of the reform, Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) members have tried to ensure the delivery of a relevant practice-based curriculum that prepares…

Much has been written about the importance of developing students' civic online reasoning--their ability to effectively search for and evaluate social and political information on the internet. Studies show that students are easily duped by a website's top-level domain name, professional appearance, or About page content, and that they neglect to…

Languages have played a significant role in the shaping of theological and religious leaders. Historically consisting mostly of biblical and ancient languages, contemporary theological education includes the study of modern foreign languages for research and ministerial purposes. If written and spoken communication in a variety of languages is a…

The study investigated how adolescent students in Nepal explored massive open online learning courses (MOOCs) in a self-directed learning manner. It used a qualitative approach by conducting 13 individual interviews with these youth. Findings suggest that Nepali adolescent MOOC learners are strongly motivated by natural curiosity toward learning…

This paper examines specific problems of educational practice that I, an undergraduate engineering educator and education researcher, have encountered in creating an interdisciplinary engineering project course. I reveal my process of theorising about problems of practice to position engineering educators' pedagogical theorising as worthy of…

This article undertakes to respond to the work of the three preceding authors and to compare and contrast their observations with the Christian cross-cultural setting in Australia. Authors of the previous articles address holistic mentoring at three levels--institutional, organizational, and individual--and offer recommendations for institutional…

What if "regular" Computer Science (CS) faculty each taught elements of inclusive design in "regular" CS courses across an undergraduate curriculum? Would it affect the CS program's climate and inclusiveness to diverse students? Would it improve retention? Would students learn less CS? Would they actually learn any inclusive…

This ethnographic case study examines how a social justice-based after-school (AS) youth leadership development program became a space for youth participants to develop a critique of social oppression and motivation for social justice action. Research demonstrates that youth development programs and models that cultivate agency among Youth of…

Student international mobility programmes (SIMPS) are often described as 'life altering' experiences, a pathway to raising social consciousness, as well as promoting cultural and social understanding. This qualitative research investigated the impact of SIMPs on seventeen students who took part in SIMPs during their course of study in two higher…

This article describes the design and implementation of a sensors-based entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) module in a large (>150 students) first-year General Chemistry II course. Students worked in groups create a novel sensor that solves an existing scientific problem or improves upon an existing sensor. Students proposed and explained…

Eleven different laboratory experiments were designed and executed throughout a semester to provide a meaningful research experience for 23 undergraduate biochemistry majors at UTSA. The topic of the semester was based on the idea of exploring new aspects to enhance our understanding of how the human body uses cytochrome P450 enzymes to metabolize…
