Students use college as a mechanism to reach their career goals; therefore, it is extremely important for institutions of higher education to determine what influences post-graduation outcomes. High impact practices (HIPs), educationally purposeful activities, such as study abroad, internships, and research with a faculty member, are effective…

Given the underrepresentation of women within faculties in the physical science, this study investigated how the experiences of female graduate students influenced their postgraduate career choices. It queried the experiences of twelve female participants, their perceptions of an academic faculty career, and asked for suggestions for how…

The research aimed to explore teachers' use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom. The context of the study was a master's programme in Education at a South African open distance learning institution. One of the modules focussed on technology integration in open distance learning, and 19 enrolled students participated in the study. The…

Background: This paper describes research into two pedagogical approaches to foster transdisciplinarity in a graduate engineering course that involves education and computer science. Leveraging the Communities of Practice framework, we examine how students majoring in computer science can integrate new knowledge from education and computer science…

As AI technologies like GPT models continue to reshape various aspects of society, it is imperative to investigate the perceptions and ethical considerations of graduate students regarding GPT's use in academic settings. This mixed-method exploratory study engaged 21 graduate students through surveys and focus group interviews. The findings…

Computer-supported collaborative argumentation is an online activity that can engage students in deep discussion and analysis of complex problems. Given the potentially confrontational nature of argumentation, using polite language becomes a strategic approach to prevent breakdowns in group communication and nurture productive dialogues. This…

School districts have long used standardized test scores to measure and report on school quality, but surveys of school climate and student engagement have recently been used to predict long-term gains in students' educational attainment. A new working paper, "Putting School Surveys to the Test," explores the links between school effects…

Evidence overwhelmingly indicates that a bachelor's degree is a worthwhile investment in the long run. Prime-age workers with a bachelor's degree earn 70 percent more at the median than workers with a high school diploma alone and face much lower unemployment rates (2.9 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively). However, median earnings vary…

Library and information science (LIS) as a discipline is constantly changing in line with the trends of the profession, so in order to ensure that LIS curriculum in higher education addresses the needs of contemporary stakeholders, evidence-based evaluation is needed. Student satisfaction has become an important factor in considering the success…

Academic libraries increasingly offer information literacy instruction online. This mixed methods study, innovatively focused on graduate professional studies students, confirms that the provision of asynchronous modules represents an effective and scalable method in this regard. When Georgetown's SCS librarians embedded their faculty-endorsed…

Online postgraduate courses for professionals often use discussion forums to promote engagement and interaction. Equivalency theorem suggests that student-student interaction may increase satisfaction but is not necessary for achieving desired learning outcomes. Therefore, costs, as well as benefits, should be ascertained. We used data from…

The Prospective Students Survey is one of the Graduate Management Admission Council's (GMAC) keystone research programs. The global graduate management education (GME) community has relied on data from this survey to gain insights about candidates' decision-making processes when considering and applying to graduate business schools since 2009. The…
