Clinical education has long been an area of concern for physical therapy education. From a review of current literature, it is clear that professional behaviors, communication skills, and clinical reasoning skills are vital skills for healthcare practitioners to develop. The problem that this research addressed was the lack of quantitative…

The traditional apprenticeship model for PhD education involves supervisors mentoring students through a substantive research project and ultimately into academia. Although about half of PhD graduates enter careers beyond academia, this apprenticeship model, with a narrow focus on thesis research has continued to dominate in many countries. While…

The "Current Term Enrollment Estimates Report Series" is published every December and May by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. It provides national enrollment estimates by institutional sector, state, enrollment intensity, age group, and gender. Enrollment estimates are adjusted for Clearinghouse data coverage rates by…

In many countries, both Western and non-Western, education about human rights is limited or non-existent and access to such education at an advanced level is typically limited by numerous barriers. In 2015-16, at the University of Wollongong, the author took part in an initiative designed to overcome these barriers, through creating an online,…

Background: Increasing human resources in engineering is a key concern for the United States. While some research has considered pathways to doctoral study, there is no clear empirical evidence on the role of undergraduate experiences in motivating engineers to continue to graduate school, both in engineering programs and more broadly.…

This study examined whether school counselors' LGBT-related graduate education and professional development predicted more frequent efforts to support LGBT students, and whether their LGBT-related self-efficacy mediated the relationship between their training experiences and supportive efforts. Results from ordinary least squares (OLS) regression…

Numerous computational and spectroscopic studies have demonstrated the decisive role played by nonadiabatic coupling in photochemical reactions. Nonadiabatic coupling drives photochemistry when potential energy surfaces are nearly degenerate at avoided crossings or truly degenerate at unavoided crossings. The dynamics induced by nonadiabatic…

Using Jarvis's (2009) framework of adult learning, this study examines how in-service elementary school teachers make sense of instruction that is responsive to multilingual learners. Case studies of two teachers reveal their nuanced attempts to improve practice during a 1-year, graduate-level, add-on certification program for teaching English…

This paper reviews the history and current situation of postgraduate studies in Librarianship and Information Science (LIS) at the university level in Spain before and after the development of the Bologna Process's European Higher Education Area (EHEA). It contextualizes the historical development of these studies, describing how official…

Circular dichroism (CD) has emerged as one of the standard biophysical techniques for the study of guaninequadruplex (G4) folding, cation effect, and ligand binding. The utility of this technique is based on its robustness, ease of use, and requirement of only small quantities of nucleic acid. This experiment is also extendable to the classroom…

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has long offered undergraduate and graduate programs in Spanish[left right arrow]English Translating and Translation Studies (TTS). The curriculum is based on a systematic articulation of history, theory, and method for all course work in different translation modes and content domains, and on…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) diversity research programs seek to make progress in increasing the number of underrepresented students that pursue STEM at the highest degree levels. Yet few programs have outlined their path to help students achieve the STEM PhD. Our program, Opportunities in Genomics Research (OGR),…

Internationalization efforts within higher education have been increasingly prioritized over the past few decades as a response to the growing demands of the changing globalized world. Short-term education abroad has emerged as a common strategy that institutions implement to help internationalize their campuses, students, and faculty. Faculty are…

This study reports the findings of a qualitative case study that examined how elements of design and organization were conceptualized and enacted in two graduate level online courses, and, how these conceptualizations and enactments evolved. Data was collected through interviews and "think-alouds" with the course instructors and through…

The purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to examine the current perceptions of online graduate degrees by academic hiring managers when making hiring decisions. The population studied consisted of deans, department chairs, human resource directors, and faculty at colleges and universities with AACSB and IACBE business program…
