Wragg, Nicole – Studies in Higher Education, 2020
Traditions associated with the physical studio in design education have obstructed translation to an online model. Literature on design pedagogy reveals the studio is considered essential for design education. This perception can be traced to the "atelier" model in the fine arts, in which students practised under a master. This method…

Blended learning is often viewed as a teaching mode that integrates a combination of online interactive activities with face-to-face learnings. This includes a mixture of different types of teaching and learning techniques, and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools. In this study, we undertook an experiment to ascertain what…

Bone, Elisa K.; Ross, Pauline M. – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
In a competitive higher education sector, large-scale curriculum reviews are common, and increasingly require alignment with broader graduate attributes. Outcomes-based reviews can be difficult in practice, especially in generalist degrees such as science and mathematics, where students' future career pathways are uncertain and varied. Working…

Jackson, Denise – Studies in Higher Education, 2015
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is widely considered instrumental in equipping new graduates with the required employability skills to function effectively in the work environment. Evaluation of WIL programs in enhancing skill development remains predominantly outcomes-focused with little attention to the process of what, how and from whom students…

This article presents a review of the literature about e-learning experiences in tertiary education over the past 20 years, since the 2000s. At this point, an increasing use of web-based technologies started to affect the spread of e-learning. The methodological approach used in the study was quantitative. The main results showed that the…

Dancer, Diane; Morrison, Kellie; Tarr, Garth – Studies in Higher Education, 2015
Peer-assisted study session (PASS) programs have been shown to positively affect students' grades in a majority of studies. This study extends that analysis in two ways: controlling for ability and other factors, with focus on international students, and by presenting results for PASS in business statistics. Ordinary least squares, random effects…

Imam, Tasadduq – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
The standardisation of a curriculum is a contentious issue, with critics complaining it leads to a loss of control and creativity. What is less clear, however, is how the lack of standardisation impacts a discipline's curriculum. This article, taking the coursework-based Master of Finance programs at Australian universities as the case study,…

Trigwell, Keith; Ellis, Robert A.; Han, Feifei – Studies in Higher Education, 2012
Quantitative analyses conducted on the self-reports of first year university students suggest that there is a relationship between the ways they emotionally experience their course and the approach they take to the learning of that course. Students who more strongly experience positive emotions, such as hope and pride, and more weakly experience…

Goode, Elizabeth; Roche, Thomas; Wilson, Erica; McKenzie, John W. – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
Post-pandemic, many universities are seeking ways to better engage students and support them to stay with and succeed in their studies. Immersive scheduling, whereby students complete units over shorter time periods than the traditional 12-15 week semester or trimester, may be a way to do this and improve academic outcomes at scale. This paper…
