Co-supervision of doctoral theses is on the rise worldwide, but we know little of the relational dynamics of the co-supervisory team and doctoral student. These teams often must work together for several years, during which supervisors may come and go. We interviewed 19 doctoral students about their experiences of co-supervision and found a…

Universities in South Africa are confronted with student unrest, which has hindered the effective university education process. They have faced various shortages of academic activities and teaching and learning because of protests and subsequent management responses that culminated in the closures of universities at most times. Student unrest has…

The purpose of this action research study was to examine the perspectives of an instructional leadership team as they fostered a culture that encouraged teachers to unlearn habits associated with isolation and to learn practices of collaboration. The theory of change was situated in the unlearning processes by segmenting new practices into…

Purpose: This paper examines the experiences of a team of female academics (teaching a large cohort of undergraduate students) and the coping mechanisms used to combat the challenges they confront in the Australian higher education sector. Design/methodology/approach: Using a reflective autoethnographic method and strengths perspective, the…

Peer Evaluation Systems (PESs) allow members of student teams to provide one another with computer-mediated feedback in the form of qualitative, open-ended comments. The current research leverages unsupervised Natural Language Processing (NLP), namely Biterm Topic Modeling (BTM) and sentiment analysis, to uncover latent topics and degree of…

While design is associated with novelty and creativity, few studies have explored the cognitive processes employed during team interactions. Design practice is collaborative where designers work in multidisciplinary teams. Along with the cognitive skills involved in designing, designers also need skills to work in teams, share information, and…

Working in groups is an important collaboration activity in the educational context, where a variety of factors can influence the prediction of the teams' performance. In the pertinent bibliography, several machine learning models are available for delivering predictions. In this sense, the main goal of the current research is to assess 28…

Supporting and empowering special education teachers is essential for student success, as author Breauna C. Wall emphasizes with this guide. She advocates for reform in special education programs, including robust systems of support, mentoring, and ongoing professional learning for special education teachers. These efforts promote effective…

Although research on team performance-prove goal orientation (TPPGO) has flourished, there remains a scarcity of studies investigating its impact on individual performance. Drawing upon transactional stress theory, our study aims to explore the dual nature of the influence exerted by TPPGO on employee creative performance. Employing a multi-level…

Prompted by concerns over student use of ChatGPT, staff teaching leadership and teamwork on a large university course experimented with an alternative way of assessing students' learning. Past assessment practices emphasised individual reflection and quality assurance. Aiming for a more relational approach that is aligned with the course's…

Interdisciplinary team collaboration is a foundational value of early intervention (EI) services; however, preservice education programs and continued education or professional development opportunities for EI providers rarely focus on how to effectively navigate team dynamics. Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety…

Background: Teachers' team innovativeness--the collective capacity of teaching teams to generate, adopt, and implement new ideas and practices--is increasingly recognized for its role in enhancing instructional methods and fostering school innovation. However, empirical research identifying its predictors remains limited, particularly within…

Teamwork skills are a vital learning outcome in higher education, yet negative interpersonal interactions within teams can diminish students' sense of belonging and inclusion. To address this challenge, the introduction of equity, diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality (EDI&I) topics into course curriculums has been proposed. This study…

This study aimed to validate the Ethiopian version of the distributed leadership inventory (DLI-Eth) and evaluate its psychometric properties. The survey was administered to 714 randomly selected teachers. The data were subjected to data cleaning and preliminary analysis for normality and multivariate assumptions using SPSS version 23 with an…

Networked learning communities (NLCs) are increasingly advocated for teachers to grow professionally. Leadership of NLCs is essential to effectively unite members with diverse interests and expertise towards collective action. Hybrid leadership is proposed as a theoretical framework to examine leadership in NLCs. The article presents a case study…
