Direct linkJiying Han; Yahui Wang – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
This is a systematic review of empirical studies on graduate students' research motivation, a key factor for improving their research performance. A total of 57 articles and conference papers between 1993 and 2023 were identified through the thorough search process and quality assessment, and their research categories and themes, theories, and…

Amanda B. MacDonald; Jeanne Mekolichick; Eric E. Hall; Kristin Picardo; Rosalie Richards – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative inquiry (URSCI) experiences are found to enhance student growth in skill development. Previous research has not established what literature exists on intentionally preparing students for work through URSCI experiences in the United States. A scoping review was conducted to systematically map what…

Ida Bruheim Jensen; Kenan Dikilitas – Teaching in Higher Education, 2025
Several scholars argue for a closer association between research and teaching in higher education, but it is unclear how research-based teaching can be actualized. Action research (AR) offers designs that position students as actors of the research processes, for example by doing research themselves or co-researching. Therefore, AR and…

Gabriella Fluhler-Thornburg; John McKillip – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Laboratory learning in the life sciences is historically centered around following recipe-like instructions to complete activities with defined outcomes. The American Association for the Advancement of Science's "Vision and Change" report has called for a change in science teaching. The report emphasizes the importance of providing…

Tamika N. Smith; Cindy Ann Kilgo – Journal of College Student Development, 2024
Undergraduate research is a way for students with minoritized racial identities to engage in a high-impact practice that increases their critical thinking, writing, and communication skills as well as their academic aspirations and retention (Bowman & Holmes, 2018). For racially minoritized students, the role of race is a critical component…

Positive outcomes from undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have resulted in calls to broaden and diversify participation in research. However, we have little understanding of what demographics are reported and considered in the analyses of student outcomes from UREs. Without this information, it is impossible to assess whether participation…

Robinson, Caitlin – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2023
The alternative format PhD, in which doctoral candidates produce a thesis composed of a series of peer reviewed publications, is growing in popularity internationally. However, across the HE (HE) system in the United Kingdom (UK), universities have been slower to adopt the alterative thesis format. This paper presents a systematic narrative review…

Ailie McDowall; Fabiane Ramos – Australian Educational Researcher, 2024
In Australia, only two-thirds of doctoral students finish their degrees, with underrepresented students completing at even lower rates. Students who successfully complete still experience many challenges throughout their degrees. In this narrative literature review, we use "preparation and readiness for the doctorate" as a framework to…

Denise Rodríguez-Zurita; Maria Jaya-Montalvo; Jerry Moreira-Arboleda; Esther Raya-Diez; Paul Carrión-Mero – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2025
Purpose: This study aims to delve into the evolution, trends and implications of scientific production related to service learning (SL) and community engagement for sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs). Because HEIs play a crucial role in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs), experiential learning approaches are…

Sandoval, Marta; Messiou, Kyriaki – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2022
This paper comprises a review of studies that employ students as researchers/co-researchers approaches from 2000 to 2018, with a focus on school improvement and inclusion. The study is original since it focuses exclusively on the idea of students taking the role of researchers/co-researchers, instead of focusing on the broader notion of student…

Jiapei Xia; Shuting Sun; Xuesong Gao – Review of Education, 2025
The professional development of PhD students as university teachers is crucial not only for their academic career trajectories, but also for improving teaching quality at universities. However, research on PhD students' professional growth has mainly focused on their role as researchers. As a result, much less is known about the other side of PhD…

Brownlow, Charlotte; Eacersall, Douglas C.; Martin, Neil; Parsons-Smith, Renée – Higher Education Research and Development, 2023
Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students are an important part of Australian university research culture. They contribute significantly to the generation of new knowledge, research outputs, industry engagement and the continual development of higher education. This article is the first to systematically review existing research to synthesise the…

The future is dependent on the STEM graduate education system, emphasizing the importance of STEM graduate programs in producing highly trained expert researchers. The cognitive apprenticeship (CA) framework provides guidance to experts (i.e., faculty) on how to explicate their knowledge through the creation of learning opportunities that foster…

Kun Yan; Li Wei; Kaiming Bu; Jiahui Zhang – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2024
Although most gifted education programs have included undergraduate research (UGR) in their training plans, scholars have not reached a consensus on UGR's effectiveness, especially for gifted college students. With a sample of 7460 students from 15 studies conducted worldwide during 1985-2022, this study explores the relationship between research…

Sefika Mertkan; Aygil Takir; Ahmad Fawzi Shamsi; Ulker Vanci Osam – Studies in Continuing Education, 2025
Publishing prior to completing graduate school is increasingly institutionalised through institutional policies in ways that pressurise doctoral students to publish as a graduation requirement or encourage them to do so to gain advantages in the academic job market. However, no systematic review of the role predoctoral publications play in shaping…
