This paper brings together two scholars, Filipina/CHamorro and Cantonese (respectively), to engage in collaborative story-sharing sessions. We accessed our upbringings, K-12 and postsecondary educations, relations with processes of coloniality and racialization, and critical consciousness formation to situate our lives and knowledges in how Asian…

Virtual Reality (VR) has been utilized in foreign language education for over 50 years, and it has gone through four distinct stages in foreign language education: Two-dimensional (2D) text-based VR, three-dimensional (3D) desktop-based VR, 3D HMD-based VR, and AI-enhanced 3D HMD-based VR. Drawing on relevant studies and examples, this article…

Objectives: The traditional, instructor-led form of live coding has been extensively studied, with findings showing that this form of live coding imparts similar learning to static-code examples. However, a concern with Traditional Live Coding is that it can turn into a passive learning activity for students as they simply observe the instructor…

International students benefit U.S. higher education institutions in multiple ways including intercultural exposure and additional revenue. However, discrimination, mental health conditions, and negative experiences can have a negative impact on the international student experience. This quantitative study used an asset-based approach, the…

While previous work has highlighted the possible impacts of undertaking emotionally challenging research, it is only recently, particularly within the UK with the 2028 Research Excellence Framework focus on research culture, that this subject is starting to gain senior leadership attention. Funded by the UK Research and Innovation, Researcher…

ICH-GCP guidelines have provided international ethical, scientific, quality standards for designing, conducting, recording, and reporting of clinical trials, and are hugely popular in the region. Recent revisions to its guidance; ICH-GCP; E6 (R3) have brought significant changes in both structure and content from its predecessor, affecting every…

This research investigates whether academic integrity can be strengthened through a holistic educative approach that combines compulsory modules on academic integrity, pedagogy that challenges punitive approaches, and an embedded curriculum. We present quantitative and qualitative data from surveys and interview responses from students to…

Compulsory volunteerism is required in many countries, with the goal of building long-term capacities for service in adolescence, yet the policy may not necessarily result in volunteerism or civic engagement in adulthood. Little is also understood about different school-based volunteering environments and how they interact with youth volunteer…

Purpose: To present a case for using drawings as a valuable way of incorporating student voice in research on physical education. Presented in the form of a "primer," the paper examines theoretical and practical aspects of drawing research. Sections: The paper is presented in three parts. The first introduces drawings as a valuable…

This study aims to identify the challenges faced by primary school teachers when implementing blended learning and to suggest the most important ways to overcome them. It also explores the impact of variables such as gender, academic qualification, and years of experience, on these challenges. A descriptive approach was adopted, and a…

Theories and practices to enhance multiple document comprehension and integration are crucial in both personal and work contexts, especially with the proliferation of printed and online sources. This experimental investigation replicates and extends (Wei et al., Educational Technology Research and Development 72:661-685, 2024) to examine how…

This study focuses on the retention rates of new teacher hires and focuses on an underexplored group--educators who exit the teaching profession and subsequently re-enter. Using longitudinal administrative data from Texas (2000-2023), this research compares characteristics of returning teachers and their likelihood of retention compared to new,…

This report from HEPI's Director of Policy, Rose Stephenson, aims to understand students' experiences of menstruation education and the day-to-day impact of menstrual cycles and periods on students' higher education studies. Based on a survey of over 1,500 UK higher education students and 13 semi-structured interviews, it makes a series of…

Adult learners make a solid contribution to their programme of study, bringing collective real-world experiences to their new learning situation. However, since many undergraduate programmes have mathematical content, this may give rise to mathematics anxiety on the part of the adult learner. A combination of factors contributes to mathematics…

National efforts to enhance postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education have continued to emphasize the integration of civic engagement within curricula. Achieving this goal requires that we understand how students' social identities impact their community involvement, particularly for minoritized groups such…
