As ongoing digitalization accelerates the execution of experiments and the documentation and storage of the corresponding data substantially, appropriate research data management (RDM) is a necessity to enable sustainable research at all. Consequently, a rethinking is currently taking place in academia. This process becomes visible by the…

In recent years, advocates for research-based education have publicized many examples of passive research involvement, defined as undergraduates learning about the content and lived experience of research at their institution. But the qualitative dimensions of passive research involvement remain unknown. The authors' study uses Diana Laurillard's…

The increasing emphasis on a competency-based learning approach in entrepreneurial-STEM (E-STEM) necessitates competency-based assessment tools to track students' entrepreneurial development and enhance the quality of E-STEM projects. This study aims to create a valid analytical rubric for assessing students' E-STEM competencies. Using a…

A pedagogically useful undergraduate organic-chemistry-laboratory experiment has been developed that involves the synthesis of two structurally simple, achiral "O,O"- and "N,N"-acetal substrates with no stereocenters. The experiment introduces students to a "new" and more effective variant of classical acetal…

This article offers a case study of a student-faculty partnership. Focusing on the perspectives of two student research assistants and a faculty member, the authors utilize current literature on student-faculty partnerships to support their perspectives. This case study adds to the body of research suggesting student-faculty partnerships enrich…

The three-minute thesis (3MT™), developed by the University of Queensland, is a tool that has been used to help graduate students articulate their research in a concise and engaging manner. This article describes processes for using a three-minute presentation (3MP) for classroom use to improve students' research literacy, critical-thinking, and…

The current study examines the impact of teacher video presence on student performance and satisfaction in a regular asynchronous online course required as part of an undergraduate accounting program. For a sample of 115 students registered in the course, the results indicate that 'enhanced strategic' teacher video presence does not lead to better…

Student cheating is a growing concern in all aspects of higher education, particularly in technical programs such as information systems. Technology is also enabling student cheating. This paper utilizes existing literature and various behavioral theories, including incentive theory, the theory of planned behavior, social reciprocity theory,…

In online STEM courses, self-regulated learning (SRL) serves a critical role in academic success because students are required to monitor and regulate their learning processes. Yet, relatively little research has investigated which and to what extent do SRL strategies contribute to students' online learning experiences. In this paper, with a lens…

This study aims to establish the significance of intercultural competence (IC) as a perceived predictor of cooperative EFL learning and classroom life among Ethiopian higher education students. In so doing, a quantitative correlational design was employed to answer the research questions. The data were gathered through Intercultural Competence…

Strategy instruction during reading can aid metacomprehension producing higher judgement of learning (JOL) and prediction of performance (POP). In contrast, verbal working memory (WM) limitations cause metacognitive deficits and lengthy expository texts impose greater cognitive load. However, impact of cognitive factors and reading lengthy…

This article provides a case study of three educational digital storytelling (EDS) projects in which researchers use intercultural identity management theory (IMT) as a framework to investigate student claims of transformation within short-term study abroad courses. Across three separate hybrid digital production and intercultural communication…

Instrumentation plays a vital role in almost every area of chemistry. As such, it is imperative that the undergraduate curriculum is designed to allow students to have opportunities to use a variety of instruments to best prepare them for careers in chemistry. Previous work has provided evidence of the types of instruments students use in…

The emergence of the neo-liberal university, rapid changes to the world of work and the unravelling of the Western social contract in an era of fake news and pandemic have created a set of circumstances that define emerging university graduates as members of a global precariat. Several projections of the future world of work suggest a need to…

As higher education struggles to catch up with the constantly shifting social climate, many modern students are being left overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices they are being offered in a phenomenon known as the "tyranny of freedom". This issue is exacerbated when they do not have the appropriate guidance from either their parents…
