Graduate student parents are a unique subpopulation in higher education that accounts for a large proportion of graduate students. While student parents struggle to balance multiple roles, female students in STEM fields may face more significant barriers in balancing family and academic responsibilities compared to male graduate student parents or…

Persistence in doctoral programs has historically been low with less than 50-75% of students graduating from their programs. Though research has been conducted on self-directed learning and doctoral programming, research is scant on self-directed learning readiness in doctoral students and mode of learning (i.e., online or in person). The purpose…

With the rapid societal emergence of generative artificial intelligence chatbots, calls for responsible use of generative AI permeate public voices among faculty, administration, and Centers for Teaching and Learning. The Diffusion of Innovation Theory seeks to explain how technologies like generative AI large language models are being adopted.…

We use longitudinal data across public postsecondary institutions in Tennessee to examine the stages at which potential Black educators disproportionately exit the teacher pipeline. Black and White bachelor's graduates declare and complete teaching-related majors at similar rates, suggesting comparable levels of initial interest in teaching…

The purpose of this quantitative causal comparative study is to understand if there are significant differences in levels of intrinsic goal orientation, task value and effort regulation between online undergraduate and graduate students as well as students studying in education and business programs at a university based in Phoenix, Arizona. It is…

This paper reports on research undertaken in two fully online, asynchronous university courses. Representing two masters' programs, one led to a degree in reading as a reading specialist, and the other, to a degree in special education as an educational diagnostician. This investigation explored how writing conferences helped graduate students to…

This article examines to what extent the independent living movement has an impact on higher education. With this purpose, a survey of 13,939 undergraduate and postgraduate students related to Education Sciences from 24 institutions in Europe and Latin America was carried out. Of these students, 615 declared having a disability. The objectives of…

Purpose: This study scrutinizes the attitudes of postgraduate students specializing in education toward research at one University of Education in Myanmar. Design/methodology/approach: Having collected data from 121 Master in Education (MEd) students in three education departments, the study validated Papanastasiou's (2014) Revised-Attitude toward…

Academic advisors are crucial in higher education institutions, particularly at the graduate level. They provide students with guidance and support, helping them to navigate complex academic requirements and to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their field. This proposal explores the concept of the "Ideal Type"…

Teacher educators are called to replace the foregrounding of courses from Eurocratic practice to those that better prepare pre-service teachers to use equity pedagogy to address issues of justice. This study analyzed the reactions of twelve undergraduate and graduate education students in a one-semester course that used the lives of Anne Frank and…

The project "Representation of Childhood at the Museums of Latvia, Integrated in the E-Learning Environment of Higher Education" was a response to the need for sources in the history of education that would accommodate the interests of students in educational sciences. The article aims at sharing the project experience in (1) mapping the…

This research aimed to reveal the decisions of master's students about whether to pursue their doctoral degree or not and the factors affecting these decisions. The participants of this research, in which the basic qualitative research design was used, consisted of 28 students (19 female and 9 male) in different parts of the educational sciences…

In this article, we explore our experiences as Kanaka faculty mentors in Hilinehu Educational Leadership Advancement (HELA), a federally-funded grant through the Native Hawaiian Education Program (NHEP) supporting Kanaka graduate students in the field of education. Through the exploration of our experiences, we consider how mentoring can matter…

This paper tries to probe the common quality issues in academic master theses of education majors and propose some possible countermeasures. The study sampled and evaluated 275 academic master theses of education majors in China to examine common quality issues in them, and used a questionnaire to survey 210 academic master's degree candidates of…

The peer-review process used in most academic journals is critical for curating evidence-based knowledge. Although many graduate programmes expect students to engage in the research process, these programmes often do not mandate formal training for the publication process. With few studies examining the graduate student experience in the…
