Governments have become increasingly concerned with improving the employability of university graduates in recent years, but most existing studies of what graduate employers look for are limited by their reliance on self-reported preferences. This study, which focuses on the UK context, aims to develop our knowledge of the determinants of…

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are important partners in practical chemistry teaching and learning, but they rarely receive direct instruction in inclusive teaching practices and equality, diversity, and inclusion principles. Here we describe the design, delivery, and evaluation of a workshop, along with the resources developed, to support…

Insufficient sleep is common among school-attending youth and has been associated with academic, cognitive, social-emotional, and behavioral functioning.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) has played an important role in the practice of school psychology. Despite the field's expectation of school psychologists to effectively address student behavior, little attention has been placed on the development of school psychology graduate students' training in ABA. An extensive review was undertaken to assess…

Student teachers (N = 22) in a New York State Graduate School of Education pre-service teacher preparation program reported feeling ineffective in using classroom management (CM) skills and strategies. Using an Improvement Science approach and Bandura's work on self-efficacy, this mixed methods research project examined whether providing…

The purpose of this qualitative case (preregistered) study is to interview rural young Americans, deeply explore how they think about higher education as they prepare for life beyond high school, and analyze how those views and perceptions translate into barriers or motivators to its pursuit. Rural Americans feel less optimistic about their…

International graduate trainees, many of whom are non-native English-speaking (L2) trainees, comprise more than half of graduate-level trainees in STEM, but little is known regarding factors that influence their career intentions, especially those that foster their growth as scientists to achieve their full potential in research. Thus, the purpose…
