Self-care (broadly defined as engaging in behaviors that support one's own health and well-being; Lee & Miller, 2013) is understood as an important aspect of occupational and personal health. Self-care is particularly salient in human service careers such as school psychology. This article explores the role of supervision in developing…

That university students encounter issues and experience frustration when using ebooks is well documented, but more research into the specific issues they encounter is needed. This study focused on how successfully undergraduate and graduate students use ebooks and whether there are measurable differences between the two groups. Researchers…

Research on doctoral education has grown over the last 25 years, with interests in socialization, time to degree, attrition, and supervisor relations. This research aims to shift the focus on how cumulative advantage (i.e., the Matthew Effect) operates in doctoral education. This qualitative study of fifteen doctoral students revealed that earning…

Background: During clinical interactions, clinicians and people with aphasia (PWA) use humour and laughter for a range of purposes, most of which contribute to friendly interactions in which the participants appear to develop a positive regard for one another. Moreover, humour is a vital component of facework, or the processes interactants engage…

Graduate courses are designed to help students learn discipline-specific knowledge, theories, and methods, but also to socialize them into the larger professional network. The awards assignment in this paper is designed to familiarize students with a wide variety of scholars and research within a field of study, to engage them creatively with…

Dispersion forces are ubiquitous in chemistry, yet they are often misunderstood. This article provides background into why they are called dispersion forces and explains how to describe them in terms of time-independent quantum mechanics. The article also describes the breakdown of the multipole series that is often used to describe dispersion…

Rather than implementing diversity initiatives piecemeal, institutions seeking to broaden the participation of Indigenous students in higher education should consider adopting a comprehensive strategy of transformation. This chapter provides elements of a comprehensive strategy to ensure the success of Indigenous students.

Business education scholarship has explored cheating behavior as a function of demographics, culture, personality, and other factors. Expanding current knowledge on the topic, the authors provide the first known empirical investigation of two negatively valenced psychosocial conditions--social loneliness and social isolation--in relation to…

This paper reports the findings of a three-year descriptive research investigation into postgraduate level students' perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses of audio feedback for assessment. Overall, results indicated that students positively received audio feedback. Particular strengths of audio feedback included it being more personalised…

Failure to thrive among nontraditional graduate students--whether by attrition, degree noncompletion, or failure-may represent an inability to manage competing demands rather than an inability to perform academically. University personnel have considered themselves limited in the ability to support non-traditional students to overcome nonacademic…

In April 2019, the Australian Government's well-regarded Endeavour Leadership Program was quietly scuttled. Since 2003, the Endeavour program (previously known as the Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships program) had supported Australian postgraduate students, researchers and career professionals to study overseas. It also brought talented…

How doctoral researchers (and their supervisors) experience and conceptualise the process of becoming a researcher and the identifications that are enacted during the process has hitherto been researched only in terms of disciplinary and professional identities. Yet, within Europe, the creation of a common Higher Education Area has a potential…

Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers (postgraduates) in the life sciences frequently mentor undergraduate researchers, especially at research universities. Yet there has been only modest investigation of this relationship from the postgraduate perspective. We conducted an exploratory study of the experiences of 32 postgraduate mentors…

Although numerous universities offer graduate students opportunities to develop their teaching, few studies probe the credit-bearing graduate course in college teaching. A survey of 105 instructors of graduate pedagogy courses in the US and Canada explored their preparation, professional appointments, students, and assignments. Results showed…

The authors report results from a correlational study of 225 school counselor trainees' emotional intelligence and leadership qualities. Higher emotional intelligence correlated with higher leadership self-efficacy and self-leadership. The results indicate that emotional intelligence may be a relevant aspect of leadership training for school…
