Despite the proliferation of graduate programs in universities around the world, there are limited numbers of studies that have evaluated the current status of these programs. This paper attempts to examine the assessments of graduate students of their programs and of the graduate education process. A survey method was adopted and conducted with a…

Many mid-level higher education and student affairs professionals are responsible for the supervision of entry-level professionals. As the population of entry-level professionals continues to diversify, it is necessary for mid-level student affairs supervisors to engage effectively across differences of culture and identity in their supervisory…

Nursing was voted the most trusted profession for the 22nd year in a row (Walker, 2024). To continue to be the most trusted profession, nursing faculty must ensure their students are prepared to enter the nursing profession. Students must be prepared to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®) licensing…

The study focused on the improvement of supervisory skills among mentor teachers in K-12 who work with student teachers in an English language teaching program of an English-medium state university in Istanbul, Turkey. The researchers explored how the mentor teachers' supervisory skills, namely observation and giving feedback, were improved after…

In this investigation, we used real data to assess potential differential effects associated with taking a test in a test center (TC) versus testing at home using remote proctoring (RP). We used a pseudo-equivalent groups (PEG) approach to examine group equivalence at the item level and the total score level. If our assumption holds that the PEG…

Paraprofessionals are increasingly hired in US schools to support the learning and behavior needs of students with or at risk for disabilities; despite receiving very limited professional development supports to enhance their skills in classrooms. The research base is lacking on effective paraprofessional professional development and intervention…

The notion of borderlands implies a boundary demarcating a crossing to/from an unfamiliar territory. It is a productive metaphor for dual-status academics -- those employed in academic roles in universities who concurrently undertake doctoral studies. We argue that dual-status academics dwell in an extended form of boundary crossing, potentially…

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about collective experiences of grief; thus, counselors-in-training (CITs) and their doctoral student supervisors may encounter increases in grief-oriented clinical work. In considering how to support CITs' work with grieving clients, doctoral supervisors should be prepared to help CITs manage experiences of…

The COVID-19 pandemic made traditionally proctored in-person exams impossible. This article provides a summary of the arguments against institutional adoption of remote proctoring services with a focus on equity, an account of the decision to avoid remote proctoring on the University of Michigan--Dearborn campus, and conclusions and suggestions…

Collective academic supervision (CAS) is a collective model for students' academic supervision to reduce their isolation and as a measure to establish a congenial culture and to develop networks with their peers. Most studies focus on the benefits of online CAS, leaving the pedagogical process and students' learning experiences understudied. This…

We examined the scope of peer feedback exchanged during group supervision of beginning supervisors throughout a semester-long doctoral-level experiential counseling supervision course. Concept mapping revealed 13 clusters representing five areas of beginning supervisors' peer feedback. Supervisors of supervisors and supervisor training programs…

This self-study researched my professional development as a teacher educator who was supervising and teaching Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs). I chose self-study as my research method primarily because it allowed me to document and study my own pedagogical thoughts and actions in relation to my supervisees, construct my personal practical…

The paper explores the challenges of supervising postgraduate students in open distance learning in higher education. The researcher argues that inaccessibility of information and services provided by supervisors, can contribute to a low quality of students' success. The responsibility of institutions is to ensure that facilities provided to…

Paraprofessionals are increasingly hired in US schools to support the learning and behavior needs of students with or at risk for disabilities; despite receiving very limited professional development supports to enhance their skills in classrooms. The research base is lacking on effective paraprofessional professional development and intervention…

Recent research on implementation and effects demonstrates the important difference comprehensive and aligned principal pipelines can make in districts and schools. The implementation studies analyzed in depth how school districts can strategically put in place policies, processes, and infrastructures to strengthen school leadership. Research on…
