Peer feedback can be highly effective for learning, but only when students give detailed and helpful feedback. Peer feedback systems often support student reviewers through instructor-generated comment prompts that include various scaffolding features. However, there is little research in the context of higher education on which features tend to…

This article presents the results of a multi-site study conducted by nine graduate educators in the United States investigating how reading comprehension might be supported by social annotation. This research examines collaborative learning and group construction of knowledge that took place in six classrooms across a university semester. The…

The study examined the extent to which faculty at a regional university in Mississippi possess metacognitive knowledge and incorporate metacognitive teaching practices in their classrooms. Furthermore, the study examined the influence of age, gender, teaching experience, and subject area taught on general metacognitive awareness and metacognitive…

Due to the rapid changes occurring in the social and ecological environment, students' sustainable consciousness has become an important issue. This study explored the impact of higher vocational college teachers' course management and students' metacognition on sustainable consciousness by taking higher vocational college students in Hainan,…

To help students become better learners, educators need to be able to provide feedback to students on their learning processes. However, this can be challenging for educators due to the customized nature of such feedback. To that end, we have created and evaluated the Acknowledge, Affirm, Challenge, and Encourage (A[superscript 2]CE) framework as…

Although there is growing evidence that the flipped classroom approach (FCA) positively impacts the student learning experience and outcomes, much less is known about the educator's experience. This study aimed to explore how educators across several disciplines in a regional Australian University describe their experience of using the FCA.…

Pedagogical metacognition, or the reflective and reflexive actions associated with teaching practice, strengthens the planning, monitoring, evaluation, and adjustment of teaching in higher education faculty. Learning communities are optimal environments to foster this active teaching reflection. This study incorporated pedagogical metacognition…

Structural equation modeling and autoethnography have rarely been integrated in scientific studies. The example employs a convergent intensive longitudinal data collection strategy and an explanatory bidirectional framework for data merging analysis to examine one instructor's practices of incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) and…

The purpose of this quantitative repeated measures study was to determine what changes (if any) occurred to perceptions of stress when fulltime faculty members incorporated contemplative practices into their daily lives. This study analyzed perceptions of stress and mindful awareness and the impacts that frequency, duration, and type of…

Drawing from our experiences facilitating an FYE faculty development program, we highlight how we have practiced elements of trauma-informed pedagogy to work with first-year students and faculty. We discuss how both students and faculty can benefit from a more complex process of cultivating relationships through mindfulness. Practices of…

In this article, I elucidate the meaning of the act of philosophizing as a research activity in academia. My main thesis is that, as academic philosophers, we need to change our existing relation to thinking in academia, which requires a radical re-evaluation of the ethos, or, the dwelling-place of philosophy. Drawing on Martin Heidegger's…

Learning analytics dashboards (LADs) are often used to display real-time data indicating student learning trajectories and outcomes. Successful use of LADs requires teachers to orient their dashboard reviews with clear goals, apply appropriate strategies to interpret visualized information on LADs and monitor and evaluate their interpretations to…

Purpose: The objective of this research is to examine the connections between mindfulness, psychological empowerment and the manifestation of ostracism in the workplace, particularly instigated ostracism, among university professors. Design/methodology/approach: The study relies on data from 746 professors from a renowned university located in…

Metacognition is the knowledge and regulation of one's cognition and has been associated with academic performance across all levels of education, including higher education (HE). Previously, a gap has been reported between extensive metacognition research and elaboration of theory versus minimal inclusion of metacognition in teaching practice in…
