Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies especially generative AI (GenAI) are promising to support the digital transformation of education system. This study investigates how university students and research scholars across Science, Social Science, and Technology disciplines utilise AI technologies for tasks such as…

Research managers and administrators (RMAs) face several challenges due to the various tasks and roles required in university research management. One of the challenges is their workplace environment, including job satisfaction. However, little empirical research has statistically analyzed the relationships between job satisfaction and its factors…

Background/Context: First-year experiences (FYE) and Supplemental Instruction (SI) are examples of undergraduate curricular and co-curricular programs that increasingly include student leaders as peer mentors, coaches, and instructors. Outcomes for leaders are understudied compared to participants in these programs. Evidence supports that students…

Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence have substantially influenced educational practices, including those at the postgraduate level. This study explores whether and how generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) improves postgraduates' creativity in research projects. Qualitative analysis of interviews with 12 participants from…

Despite ongoing efforts to promote widening participation (WP) in higher education (HE), significant disparities persist in students' access to and success in HE. Students from various intersecting groups remain underrepresented, less likely to complete HE studies, and less likely to achieve high grades compared with peers from groups such as…

Purpose: The review aims to synthesize previous studies to present an overview of the techniques commonly used in learning analytics, as well as identify possible knowledge gaps in the extant studies and provide insights on future directions for learning analytics techniques moving forward. Design/methodology/approach: This paper provides a…

Science doctoral students can experience negative interactions with faculty mentors and internalize these experiences, potentially leading to self-blame and undermining their research self-efficacy. Helping students perceive these interactions adaptively may protect their research self-efficacy and maintain functional mentoring relationships. We…

The purpose of this study is to describe and report on the implementation of an inquiry-based module for future educators. Research consistently highlights a gap between the academic expectations of secondary school and the requirements of higher education, particularly concerning inquiry and research skills. While College-Career Ready (CCR)…

Scientific method is one means by which knowledge is created. The goal of the social studies course is to teach the methodology used by these sciences in accessing the subject information along with the information they provide from social sciences. Therefore, social studies teachers should be aware of the scientific research methodology so that…

From the end of the 1970s, all teacher education programmes have been a part of academic higher education in Finland. Thus, TE has been implemented in universities and all Finnish comprehensive and upper-secondary school teachers have a master's degree. Research methods courses have been an essential part of teacher education courses for over 40…

Learning-by-doing presents an opportunity for political science departments to instruct undergraduate students in social science research methods. Conducting these trainings as short-term, high impact programs have the potential to make research and research methods accessible and appealing to students. Building these opportunities around major…

When honors faculty share experiences from their own research, students learn that making mistakes and trying again is an important part of the learning process. This brief article shares a class exercise that successfully develops research proficiency.

In this article, we examine whether cross-national studies disclose enough information for independent researchers to evaluate the validity and reliability of the findings (evaluation transparency) or to perform a direct replication (replicability transparency). The first contribution is theoretical. We develop a heuristic theoretical model…

This article presents an analysis of the importance of narrative inquiry for investigating the everyday actions of teachers. From a narrative bibliographic review, based on relevant texts on the subject, we describe the relevance of this type of inquiry and its contribution to the articulation of theory and practice and the social and the…

This study reviews 60 papers using a Likert scale and published between 2012-2021. Screening for literature review uses the PRISMA method. The data analysis technique was carried out through data extraction, then synthesized in a structured manner using the narrative method. To achieve credible research results at the stage of the data collection…
