This study aims to examine the effect of the framework proposed for professional ethics courses in teacher education on the pre-service science teachers' analysis of cases involving ethical dilemmas. The research was designed as a case study. The study group was composed of nine (two males and seven females) pre-service science teachers.…

The problem with most commissioned studies is that they are generally anchored on research protocols, guidelines and theoretical underpinnings imposed by research grant makers or the external Principal Investigator's (PI) own research design preferences. Furthermore, the problem is that researchers who are recruited during various phases of…

The study examines the validity of four commonly used early numeracy curriculum-based measurement (EN-CBM) tools in relation to math criterion measures. Additionally, the investigation examines the reporting quality of the included studies as related to important features of assessing CBM's technical adequacy. For inclusion in the meta-analysis,…

While the number of individuals in the United States between the ages of 25-44 with a bachelor's degree has been increasing, so too has the number of individuals who have started college and dropped out.

This article discusses the English-to-Thai translations of two contemporary novels: "Room" by Emma Donoghue and "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" by John Boyne. These two selected texts present some linguistic challenges to the translators because of the narrations which are meant to reveal the innocent perspectives of young…

This study examines how a university's research activities are viewed through the priorities of both of the university and the surrounding community. Framed by the notion of anchor institution, the study reports the results of a case study of the US regional university within an urban context. The findings demonstrate the lack of consensus around…

Diffraction is an important phenomenon in physics. This paper describes using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to produce cross-sectional images of iridescent seashells. When seashell cross-sections are viewed in a SEM, regular structure is seen. Seashells are a good example of a biocomposite material and good natural objects for introducing…

Many processes and practices in the field of health professions education have been based more on tradition and assumption than on evidence and theory. As the field matures, researchers are increasingly seeking evidence to support various teaching and assessment methods. However, there is a tendency to focus on a limited set of topics, leaving…

In addition to the national NAEP, all 50…

This article discusses characteristics and forms of international collaborative research projects (ICRPs) and provides conceptual considerations as well as initial empirical insights on the impact of funding conditions on ICRPs in the social sciences and external project funding. Specifically, by presenting a German case study of funding formats…

University governance is a core issue of higher education, and faculty plays a critical role. In a structured interview, 10 faculty members from a case university in central China elaborate on their university's governance structure and their own leadership in university governance.
