The shift from secondary school or college to university represents a period of change characterised by multiple transitions, educationally, socially, and emotionally. As students move from strictly regulated school environments to the relative indep...
Global interest in student mental health has led to a proliferation of research and practice aimed at operationalising a whole university approach to wellbeing. In education, this has entailed innovation and evaluation of different assessment types a...
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has created both opportunities and challenges in higher education. AI tools are increasingly regarded as potentially transformative, yet also contested, resources for enhancing teachi...
The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework is widely used to conceptualize teacher knowledge as an interplay of content, pedagogy, and technology. Following recent research interests in examining TPACK as contextually situated...
Though higher education has returned to in-person instruction in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for online learning continues to increase. This rapid growth in virtual instruction necessitates examining its impact, particularly in skill-ba...
Higher education institutions commonly employ student evaluation of teaching (SET) instruments (e.g., course evaluation surveys) to enhance course quality and inform instructional strategies. However, conceptualizing and measuring SET as a unidimensi...
Studying at a university regional campus presents unique opportunities, challenges, and experiences for students. People who live in rural and regional areas are less likely to gain a tertiary degree, and barriers include access, cost, and competing...
Disaster is a multidimensional phenomenon affecting societies worldwide. Rising climate crises, mass migrations, and earthquake risks have made disaster awareness crucial in spatial design. In this context, interior architecture has evolved beyond es...
Higher education faces increasing demands to address student diversity in engagement, learning preferences, and professional readiness. This study examined the feasibility of integrating personality-tailored case-based learning in teacher education....
Achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) is considered to be imperative for the future security and sustainability of the world. Universities are viewed as being a key industry to support the achievement of the goals by the...
