While prior research has indicated increased funding to higher education has resulted in positive outcomes related to enrollment, retention and graduation rates, and degree and certificate completions (Cummings et al., 2021), there is more to learn about disparities in funding to institutions and target student populations. With this aim, the…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the evolving role of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework in teacher education. It aims to explore the development of TPACK scholarship, identify key contributors, and evaluate its academic and societal impact, thereby offering a comprehensive understanding of its influence…

Assessing the extent to which interventions might generalize involves an understanding of for whom and in what contexts interventions have succeeded. Identifying the characteristics of service recipients as well as observers, teachers, and other members of implementation teams involved in intervention research represents an emerging consideration…

Background/purpose: The paper explores entrepreneurship education opportunities and challenges in South Africa universities. South Africa's historical legacy of inequality, poverty, and unemployment forced authorities to introduce entrepreneurship curricula in universities to inculcate entrepreneurial skills regardless of racial background to…

Autoethnography has gained significant traction as a qualitative research method in adult education, allowing scholars to intertwine personal narratives with broader social and cultural analyses. This paper explores the complexities of writing autoethnography with purpose, emphasizing its ethical, methodological, and creative dimensions. We…

The application potential of the metaverse as an emerging technology in education has sparked widespread attention globally. A systematic review was conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses method, which yielded 43 relevant articles from a total of 527 articles to examine the current status and the…

The term 'quality culture' dates back to organisation and management literature of the 1960s, but only more recently it gained traction in higher education. Researchers explored what it is (or could be) and what the antecedents and impacts are. This paper takes critically stock of research on quality culture from a research quality perspective,…

This paper sheds light on how social sciences and humanities (SHH) have been approached as a topic in the academic literature over the last 50 years, with specifically a European perspective. We applied science mapping and bibliometrics as a methodology that has shown its potential in studies mapping the higher education literature. We conducted…

The models of E-learning Readiness (ELR) are basically designed to understand the process of obtaining the basic information necessary for measuring ELR among participants. They help organizations to identify the requirements for designing, developing and implementing E-learning. These models not only help the organizations to identify the degree…

The idea of the university has been a matter of intense debate for well over a century. The essential nature, role and purpose of the university have long been questioned.
