Background: Research Capacity and Culture (RCC) is important for research engagement. Little is known of what speech and language therapy staff perceives to be the barriers or enablers to this at individual, team and organisational levels. Aims: To identify the barriers and enablers to RCC among speech and language therapy staff, using behaviour…

Problem-solving strategies are crucial in learning programming. Owing to their hidden nature, traditional methods such as interviews and questionnaires cannot reflect the details and differences of problem-solving strategies in programming. This study uses the Hidden Markov Model to detect and compare the problem-solving strategies of different…

The lived experiences of active-duty military students are currently silenced in higher education by assumptions and a lack of knowledge surrounding their individuality. Researchers undertook a phenomenological qualitative study on the experience of active-duty military undergraduates at a mid-sized four-year regional public university in the…

Autistic children have significant difficulties in recognizing and labeling emotions, difficulties which may hinder the natural development of their ability to express and regulate further emotions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an augmented reality emotion recognition program (ARERP) delivered in a group format on the…

Disparities in school discipline based on student race and disability status remain a major barrier to achieving educational equity. In addition to systemic factors, research suggests that educators' racial and labeling biases may also be partially responsible for exacerbating these inequities. This article presents a novel mindfulness-based…

The value of research to library and information science (LIS) practice and the need to build a culture of research within the profession are well documented. Research informs decision-making, supports strategy and planning, and ensures that LIS services remain relevant to changing community needs. Yet a vibrant research culture is present in only…

International research has illustrated that learning support staff (LSS) play a crucial role in the instruction of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND): they support the children's classwork while teachers manage the whole-class instruction. However, fewer research studies have explored LSS's role in the children's…

This study examines the development and implementation of human resource management practices within leisure sports programs at Chinese higher education institutions. The research addresses critical challenges emerging from the sector's rapid expansion and increasing professional requirements. Using a sequential mixed-methods approach, the study…

When the revised and updated 2018 and 2024 science curricula are examined, it is seen that the integration of engineering, technology and mathematics disciplines into the teaching of science subjects is supported. The integration of these four disciplines is defined by the science-technology-engineering-mathematics (STEM or STEM) approach. As this…

This qualitative study examined the experiences and views of Further Education and Skills (FES) educators and mentors regarding the recent Initial Teacher Education (ITE) reform in England. Conducted between October 2023 and January 2024 across seven colleges in London and the Southeast, the research explored the research participants'…

In a pioneering effort, we tried to measure and explain Political Science (PS) students' perceptions of their discipline as science. We analyzed as dependent variables the single option answers to the question "Why does the word 'science' exist in the name of our discipline?" Those responses represent a range of perceptions from the most…

This article describes the creation and evaluation designed to support student success through their inclusion in a variety of professional and technical training programs. The opportunity to develop a leadership academy specifically for engineering students allowed faculty program coordinators to deliver content that was normally not available to…

Blended learning in maritime education, particularly in the Seafarer Upgrading Program, faces challenges in adapting effective teaching methods for Maritime English (ME) instruction. A promising approach, Blended Task-Based Language Teaching (B-TBLT), combines Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) with blended learning environments. However, limited…

In the case of training programs for workplace settings, design customization can help trainers to better address trainees' needs and, at the same time, it can help them build a sense of competence and autonomy. This is particularly difficult when trainees are skeptical because of former failing training experiences. The case study presented here,…

Blood pressure regulation keeps us alive, yet its underlying mechanisms often remain abstract for students. Heart rate, stroke volume, vascular resistance, and compliance interact continuously to shape arterial pressure, but in many classrooms, these variables feel disconnected from observable outcomes. To bridge this gap, we developed a simple,…
