The training of future teachers requires innovative strategies that involve and motivate students. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of a digital serious game on students' emotional variables. A total of 62 students aged 22-23 years of age from a Master's degree participated. A digital serious game called 'The case of the stolen…

This study aims to explore factors predicting the use of e-learning as a sustainable solution in Indian higher education institutions by employing a modified version of the technology acceptance model (TAM). An online questionnaire (n = 200), capturing post-graduate management students from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, was analysed using…

Critical health communication (CHC) explores how meanings and enactments of health are linked to power dynamics and systemic inequalities by centering the body in research and practice. When teaching CHC in a postsecondary classroom, it is imperative to provide students with an opportunity to engage in embodied learning to think critically about…

Access to higher education continues to increase in the Caribbean, and with this comes disparities among those who participate. For instance, Jamaica, a traditionally patriarchal society, has seen a greater increase among women participating in higher education when compared to men. This paper presents findings that highlight how non-traditional…

Vertically integrated project courses (VIPs) are successful models for embedding long-term research participation into engineering curricula. Whether this model can be translated into gains for laboratory-based projects in biological sciences is unknown. Most biological sciences course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are a single…

Background: Previous studies have indicated that encouraging learners to teach to their peers has been proven effective in second language learning. However, to date, no research has focused on how learners teaching to peers of varying proficiency levels impacts video learning performance and the cognitive neuroscience mechanisms of learners.…

Microteaching--an innovative teaching method in which students deliver a mini-lesson to a small group of peers within a limited timeframe to develop specific teaching skills and refine pedagogical behaviors--has been implemented in teacher education and training for half a century. This qualitative study explored the views of 10 graduate students…

Pharmacy postgraduates are an indispensable force for conducting research in pharmaceutical science and technology. However, how they conduct academic research and perceive academic misconduct has remained underexplored. This study aims to investigate the perceptions of Chinese pharmacy postgraduates on academic research and academic misconduct.…

Objective: The current project aims to identify individuals in urgent need of mental health care, using a machine learning algorithm (random forest). Comparison/contrast with conventional regression analyses is discussed. Participants: A total of 2,409 participants were recruited from an anonymous university, including undergraduate and graduate…

This study addresses a crucial gap in understanding mental health help-seeking attitudes among international graduate counseling students (ICS) in the U.S., despite facing significant acculturation stress. Research on their help-seeking attitudes and self-stigma is limited among ICS. Understanding these factors is vital for supporting their…

Occupational therapy education programs use simulation and clinical environments to teach students clinical skills. However, students' perceptions of how these environments meet their learning needs are not known. The objective of this study was to explore entry-level occupational therapy students' perceptions of the effectiveness of simulation…

Exploring students' perceptions of teaching as a profession and their motivations for pursuing it can provide valuable insight for developing effective policies aimed at enhancing teacher recruitment efforts. Although the topic of recruiting and retaining workers in education is not new, most previous studies have sought the views of teachers…

Peer feedback provides a powerful tool for student learning; however, there are challenges associated with feedback. This paper draws on a feedback cycle to support 13 mathematics secondary preservice teachers (PTs) to provide feedback on their peers' lesson plans. PTs were randomly assigned to provide feedback on a lesson plan which had been…

This study examines the intricate dynamics of racial gaslighting faced by women of color in higher education, highlighting how this form of gendered whiteness intertwines with race, gender, and power to marginalize and undermine their lived experiences. Using Critical Whiteness and Black Feminist Thought frameworks, this paper highlights the…

In-service teachers, constrained by work commitments, adopt online learning methods for their graduate studies, emphasizing the significance of exploring the construction of online learning communities. Analyzing collaborative conversation texts within the online learning process of the "Learning Science" course at a university in…
