This study investigated the educational outcomes and professional development of undergraduate exercise and sports science students through curricular internships. Analysis of data from 1,247 internships conducted between 2015-2020 at a large Italian university across diverse settings (fitness facilities, rehabilitation clinics, educational…

Evidence indicates that undergraduate students value the Me in a Minute video strategy as a mechanism for developing employability articulation skills. However, an in-depth analysis of students' ability to create a Me in a Minute video that effectively articulates employability strengths has not been conducted. An assessed Me in a Minute module…

Research on engineering practice and its relationship with engineering education is getting increased attention in the engineering education literature recently. In this article, we present a study of engineering practice in an electrical power utility company that focused specifically on the learning practices of professional engineers. Through…

Mental health is vital to seminarians' holistic development, playing a crucial role in their personal growth and pastoral readiness. Equipping seminarians with mental health training enhances their human formation and addresses stigma, creating a foundation for more compassionate and effective ministry. The study utilized an explanatory research…

The teaching and learning innovations in this post-COVID pandemic study focus on improving content knowledge, pedagogy, instructional resources, the learning environment, and learning outcomes. Using technologies to provide sustainable interventions is good, but adopting innovative digital pedagogical resources to facilitate instructional…

In 2024 the AIChE Education Division surveyed departments over how they prepared graduate student instructors (GSIs) and the roles these GSIs have. This survey was completed by 70 departments, reaching departments big and small; with and without graduate teaching requirements; and a wide range GSI training programs. This first-of-its-kind survey…

The 2022 Nuclear Posture Review emphasizes the importance of supporting the professional development of service members working in and supporting the nuclear field. Additionally, the Department of Defense (DOD) has recently shifted from a topics-based approach to an outcomes-based approach to monitor and assess student learning for key topics…

Learning to teach is challenging as preservice teachers apply a multitude of knowledge and skills in complex situations. Preservice and student teachers struggle to effectively use metacognition and lack the ability to address numerous motivational factors in their learning. We do not know how student teachers utilize these ideas while lesson…

Since 1967, the American Indian Law Center (AILC) has been conducting the Pre-Law Summer Institute (PLSI), a free eight-week-long program that prepares American Indian and Alaskan Native students from across the United States for the rigors of law school. Taught by nationally prominent law school faculty and leaders, PLSI focuses on the unique…

We propose an innovative, effective, and data-agnostic method to train a deep-neural network model with an extremely small training dataset, called VELR (Voting-based Ensemble Learning with Rejection). In educational research and practice, providing valid labels for a sufficient amount of data to be used for supervised learning can be very costly…

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of virtual reality (VR) application on creative performance and immersion, evaluated through electroencephalography brain wave data to achieve accurate and robust results. In this study, 72 middle school teachers were recruited as participants, and a non-randomized control-group…

Background: Adjectives are essential for communication, conceptual development and academic success. However, they are semantically and syntactically complex and can be particularly challenging for children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Surprisingly, language interventions have not typically focused on this important word class.…

Doctoral education is the primary time in which scholars learn about research methodologies and begin to develop their own research agendas and skills. Yet, to date, few research studies have examined graduate students' perceived value of, and access to, training in multiple research methodologies. The purpose of this study was to explore special…

Recent work has shown that perceptual training can be used to improve the performance of novices in real-world visual classification tasks with medical images, but it is unclear which perceptual training methods are the most effective, especially for difficult medical image discrimination tasks. We investigated several different perceptual…

Near-peer teaching has been widely implemented in medical schools and the benefits for the near-peer teachers (NPTs), the students, and the institution have been well documented. However, NPT training methods and perceptions of such have been limited. A four-year clinical anatomy and surgical training program was established (est. 2019) as part of…
