Purpose: This study examines the variables associated with the likelihood of horizontal mismatch among Chilean university graduates, focusing on the role of field of study, university prestige and gender. Design/methodology/approach: A binary logistic regression model was estimated using data from a survey conducted on a representative sample of…

A prior randomized trial found a school social intervention yielded significantly better outcomes (social and autism features) immediately following intervention compared to typical school programming (services-as-usual [SAU]) for children on the autism spectrum. In that study, children in the SAU condition subsequently completed a summer social…

This study aimed to measure the interpersonal skills of primary and secondary school teachers and their correlations with in-service training programs within the context of the mentoring system, using a sample of 720 from China. Results show that these teachers' interpersonal skills remain at a high level, with the mean score for Self-Disclosure…

Mixed reality simulations such as TeachLivE and Mursion have been increasingly utilised to prepare teachers for inclusive classrooms. The use of mixed reality simulations, which combine elements of both virtual and augmented reality, offers immersive and interactive experiences that can enhance teacher training in various ways. These simulations…

Design problems are often ill-structured as the requirements are broadly defined and have multiple correct solutions. Experts solve such problems by applying various cognitive and metacognitive skills before the formal specifications and solution designs are documented. Novices often need help solving ill-structured design problems as they lack…

Effective multitasking in high-stakes military environments is critical yet often compromised by cognitive overload, leading to operational errors. This scoping review explores the potential of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a cognitive enhancement tool for improving multitasking performance, with a focus on task-switching and…

This study examines the impact of AI-assisted writing feedback on the writing skills of secondary-level EFL students. A sample of 60 Turkish high school students was divided into an experimental group receiving feedback from an AI writing assistant and a control group receiving traditional teacher feedback. Over an 8 week period, students wrote…

Concerningly, pre-service teachers might utilize practices during practicum and student teaching experiences in ways that are less than satisfactory, or even harmful, to students, peers, or mentors. Mixed reality simulation (MRS), an educational tool for practicing teaching skills, may be a warranted approach to field experience that limits…

Engineering Graphics and Design is a South African school subject which is foundational to fields such as mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering. However, persistent shortcomings in this subject's instruction have been documented in the South African National Senior Certificate examiners' reports over the past decade. These issues stem…

Background: The care partners of hospitalised older adults often feel dissatisfied with the education and skills training provided to them, resulting in unpreparedness and poor health outcomes. Objective: This review aimed to characterise and identify gaps in the education and skills training used with the care partners of older adults in the…

The purpose of this article is to present a content map and sequenced learning tasks to teach tennis footwork techniques in a physical education setting.

Whilst the starting point is the impact of the pandemic the overall aim of the paper is to advance the case for the introduction of a transdisciplinary approach to learning. The justification for adopting this radical method is to deliver specific graduate outcomes in line with the 10 job skills for 2025 identified by the World Economic Forum.…

Despite significant societal changes, the high school experience hasn't changed much in recent decades. Joshua P. Starr reflects on his own high school experiences and that of his son and considers how schools might change their focus away from requiring students to learn specific facts and toward having them develop skills as they engage in rich…

Purpose Although natural science disciplines significantly contribute to sustainable development goals (SDGs), little research attends to how higher education institutions (HEIs) influence the development of leadership skills needed among sustainability leaders. This paper aims to examine the leadership development experiences of natural…

One criticism of published curricula addressing implicit bias is that few achieve skill development in implicit bias recognition and management (IBRM). To inform the development of skills-based curricula addressing IBRM, we conducted a scoping review of the literature inquiring, "What interventions exist focused on IBRM in professions related…
