For any educational programme to be successful, it is essential to have a well-planned and comprehensive syllabus that fosters inclusivity and positive motivation. In my paper, I am going to examine the BA syllabi from the inception of the department to the present times, 1921-2023, to trace the inclusion of women writers. To gather information, I…

Objective: Better understanding how behavioral health professions students were impacted by COVID-19 can help educators inform their education practices. Participants: The present study examined the impact of COVID-19 among n = 83 students enrolled in two universities across five graduate-level behavioral health training programs -- clinical…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the complexities faced by postgraduate students at Universitas Terbuka (UT) during their thesis writing process in a distance learning environment, focusing on their perspectives, challenges and strategies. Design/methodology/approach: The research employed a mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel…

Roughly every five years, the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) publishes a report on the demographic characteristics of transfer students and their post-transfer academic performance. Using data collected at the BC public universities, this report examines pathways and performance of transfer students from the BC…

The rapid development of information and communications technology (ICT) has transformed education and society. Applying gamification in education can enhance students' motivation, interest, and performance to meet the demands of the 21st century. The present study used the hermeneutic research design to explore teachers' challenges and concerns…

Research examining the impact of gender on educational outcomes in autistic students has been sparse. To address this gap, this study investigated the educational journeys of students with autism spectrum disorder in British Columbia, Canada. We examined (1) the time it takes for students to receive an initial autism spectrum disorder designation;…

As artificial intelligence technology becomes more integrated with foreign language education, understanding how learners regulate their engagement with these technologies is critical. Grounded in Control-Value Theory, this study investigates Chinese university students' AI-assisted self-regulated learning practice in the context of English as a…

This report provides an annual look at the summer 2020, fall 2020 and spring 2021 term's enrollment in categories such as student enrollment status, location and demographics of the community college student population. The content and format of this report have been developed through a collaborative effort between the Wyoming Community College…

The benefits of physical activity in school settings and its impact on health and academic outcomes are of interest from public health and educational contexts. This study investigates how physically active learning (PAL): (i) contributes to children's physical activity levels, (ii) impacts on academic outcomes and (iii) influences children's…

A Monte Carlo algorithm is designed to predict the average time to graduate by enrolling virtual students in a degree plan. The algorithm can be used to improve graduation rates by identifying bottlenecks in a degree plan (e.g., low pass rate courses and prerequisites). Random numbers are used to determine whether students pass or fail classes by…

Increasingly, undergraduates take more than 4 years to complete a baccalaureate, a situation widely perceived as a waste of time and money, for students, their families, and taxpayers. We first identify several phenomena that result in a longer time to degree and document the frequency of such delays. Then, using nationally representative data…

Negative affect (NA) and positive affect (PA) are established modifiable psychosocial correlates of cognitive health and have demonstrated capacity for meaningful within-person fluctuations based on person--environment interactions, age, and measurement approach. Previous research has shown NA is associated with increased response time…

The purpose of this study was to identify and categorise factors that hinder Korean college student-faculty interaction. Twenty-one college students who had advising experience with faculty were interviewed. Concept mapping was used to collect, organise and interpret qualitative data through quantitative techniques. These factors were recorded on…

In today's educational climate, physical education teachers are required to assess student learning in order to document student growth and demonstrate effectiveness as a teacher. However, because many schools limit the amount of time students spend in physical education, it is often difficult to assess student learning without it interfering with…

Although a growing number of studies indicate that simple strategies, intuitions, or cognitive shortcuts called heuristics can persistently interfere with scientific reasoning in physics and chemistry, the persistence of heuristics related to learning biology is less known. In this study, we investigate the persistence of the "moving things…
