Experiences And Challenges In Taking A Print Journal On-Line, Robert D. Nale, Robert B. Burney Feb 2022

Experiences And Challenges In Taking A Print Journal On-Line, Robert D. Nale, Robert B. Burney

The Coastal Business Journal

For a number of years, an annual publication of the Wall College of Business at Coastal Carolina University (The Coastal Business Review and later, Journal) was produced in standard print form. Because of increasing budgetary concerns experienced by the University and the State of South Carolina, the cost of printing the journal in the traditional fashion became increasingly prohibitive. When publishing deadlines were missed, several avenues were explored regarding how the College could deal with the problem. While unique for an institution of this size, the creation of a totally on-line journal began to assert itself as a viable option. …

International Teaching Assistants' Contributions To Online Learning: A Qualitative Case Study, Chynar Amanova, Rakez Al-Ararah, Gudrun Nyunt

Journal of Graduate Education Research

To meet the needs of diverse population of students, online classes in higher education started to proliferate in recent decades. Increase in enrollment in online courses required U.S. higher education institutions to employ teaching assistants, including international teaching assistants (ITAs) to teach a variety of undergraduate level courses. This exploratory qualitative case study aimed to analyze international teaching assistants’ (ITAs) teaching strategies through the lens of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. Themes emerged from the data that highlight the knowledge and skills ITAs brought to teaching online classes.


Multilevel Analysis Of Factors Predicting International Doctoral Students’ Time-To-Degree Completion, Osasohan Agbonlahor Feb 2022

Multilevel Analysis Of Factors Predicting International Doctoral Students’ Time-To-Degree Completion, Osasohan Agbonlahor

Journal of Graduate Education Research

Time-to-doctoral degree has consistently increased in American universities since the 1960s. The elongated time-to-degree has cost implications, not only for the degree granting institutions, but for doctoral recipients, particularly their international counterparts. This paper examined the effect of various factors, including financial aid, demographic characteristics, and home country economic conditions on international doctoral students’ time-to-degree completion. The Push-Pull Model and human capital theory formed the conceptual framework for this study. Utilizing multiple regression and multilevel analysis on a set of student demographic characteristics, country-level economic factors, financial aid packages, and institutional level variables, the study finds that that foreign government …

Decay In Educational System: The Nigerian Perspective, Itohowo Paul Ignatius, Iniobong Daniel Umotong Dr. Feb 2022

Decay In Educational System: The Nigerian Perspective, Itohowo Paul Ignatius, Iniobong Daniel Umotong Dr.

Journal of Graduate Education Research

Education is the bedrock of development in every society. In developing countries including Nigeria, education is conceived as the tool through which national objectives (such as nation building, social integration and economic development) are achieved. Although education has so many prospects for developing countries, Nigeria continues to be crawling with its education sector. It is against this background that this paper seeks to answer the fundamental questions: what are the problems facing the Nigerian educational sector and in what ways can they be mitigated? The national policy of education (1998) in Nigeria has five working objectives and philosophies through which …

L’Art Post-Catastrophe : Un Témoin Activiste, Michel Abou Khalil Feb 2022

L’Art Post-Catastrophe : Un Témoin Activiste, Michel Abou Khalil

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Le Liban, un pays riche artistiquement et intellectuellement, est la scène par excellence d’un enchainement de catastrophes depuis sa naissance jusqu’à nos jours. L’explosion du port de Beyrouth le 4 Août 2020 en constitue l’ultime épisode et peut-être le plus dramatique de tous. Un phénomène inédit s’est révélé suite à cette tragédie sans précédent : la scène culturelle s’est immédiatement mobilisée sans passer par une étape mnésique post catastrophe comme c’est en général le cas après un désastre. Que s’est-il passé ? Pourquoi une telle urgence ? Comment les artistes ont-ils utilisé leur créativité pour exprimer l’indicible, le penser, en …


Sebastian Faulks’ Human Traces:A Journey Into The Depths Of The Human Psyche, Essam Fattouh Feb 2022

Sebastian Faulks’ Human Traces:A Journey Into The Depths Of The Human Psyche, Essam Fattouh

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Sebastian Faulk’s novel, Human Traces (2006), embarks on a new trend in contemporary English fiction. Through its representations of two main protagonists, pioneers in the field of psychology between the 1870s and 1918, Faulks traces the formative years of the development of the young discipline of psychiatry. Even though Faulks works in the realist traditions of Charles Dickens and George Eliot, yet he delves into such major questions as the role of unconscious motivations in human individual behaviour, the causes of mental illness, and the very attempt to understand the nature of the human being. The time frame of the …
