Tuning, as a methodology, implies a philosophy of curriculum design, pedagogy, and assignment design. It implies that successful study in a discipline depends on intentional construction of learning experiences for students. Intentional construction of learning experiences requires an understanding of the learning goals set forth by faculty for…

Previous researchers have emphasised the need for more student-centred approaches to online learning. This study presents and assesses the feasibility of a tailoring system, which adapts vicarious experience information to best benefit the learners' self-efficacy (SE), based upon the model-observer similarity hypothesis. This hypothesis states…

This quantitative study examines the correlation between measures of subjective career success using an independent samples t test with the possession of or lack thereof of a boundaryless career attitude with a sample of secondary educators. The shift from traditional, organizational careers has grown tremendously over the last decade. Research…

Doctoral study is a vulnerable time when students are faced with the task of establishing a new professional identity in a competitive environment, with financial stress, an uncertain future, and low status.

Although the economic and social context of work appears to be changing for more and more people, the author argues that time-honored and empirically supported theories of career development continue to be relevant and useful. However, these theories and the core assumptions that underlie them (e.g., the "matching metaphor") may need to be…

This paper discusses a talent management and career planning system designed based on the performance and qualifications of a group of interns working for an emerging social media company located in Istanbul.

This conceptual model emerged from the need to balance multiple purposes and perspectives associated with developing an ePortfolio designed to promote student development and success. A comprehensive review of literature from various disciplines, theoretical frameworks, and scholarship, including self-authorship, reflection, ePortfolio pedagogy,…

This multiple case study explored the experiences of school principals and the usefulness of Peters' (2011) succession planning model. Ten purposefully selected principals from varying grade levels were interviewed; none reported a formal succession plan, and all had been assistant principals. The study concluded the assistant principal position…

A comprehensive description of barriers to college access for Latino/a adolescents is an important step toward improving educational outcomes.
