A version of the change-detection paradigm was used to examine Good-Enough Representation (Ferreira, Bailey, & Ferraro, 2002). Participants read sentence pairs where a subject noun (e.g., flower ) could change to a Superordinate (e.g., plant ), Subordinate (e.g., rose ), or an Unrelated (e.g., prince ) noun. The task was completed cross-linguistica...

Education provides students with the important, domain-specific skills required for their chosen career (e.g., nursing, engineering, etc). However, institutions of higher education are also tasked with developing transferable or “soft” skills which will be beneficial in any career. These include communication, numeracy, interpersonal skills, critic...

Instructors’ course policies have an important impact on student success in our courses, as well as their perceptions of instructors. One such course policy, which is the focus of this descriptive study, is that of assessment deadlines, more specifically, the various permutations of flexible deadlines. These might include automatic extensions, shor...

The universal design for learning framework aims to remove barriers from the learning environment so that as many students as possible can fully participate in it. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about additional challenges in higher education, but in many cases, it has also provided a unique opportunity to examine change. This study investigated...

In order to teach effectively, one must not only be aware of which behaviours constitute “good” teaching behaviours, but also avoid those behaviours which are perceived as “poor” teaching behaviours. The present study investigates students’ and faculty’s perception of ineffective teaching behaviours. We asked both groups to identify which teaching...

The principles of positive psychology have been studied for many years, but it seems to be only recently that the benefits of these techniques are being accepted by the wider community of mainstream pedagogues. In this article, we describe the principles of positive psychology and then highlight its benefits for both students and instructors. Final...
Article
The pandemic resulted in many courses being shifted to online delivery, but some courses are designed as online courses from their conception. Courses intentionally designed for online delivery should be well-received by students, but it is not clear which aspects of courses students find particularly appealing and unappealing. We examined students...

Racism in higher education continues to harm Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) students, so white faculty need to be good allies in anti-racism by decentring whiteness to better support BIPOC individuals. To increase self-awareness, white faculty should reflect on how they benefit from white privilege and then use this privilege to bet...

Cheating in academia is defined multidimensionally and might include dishonesty, fraud, stealing, and unauthorized use. This behaviour appears to be on the rise in higher education, though it may be somewhat subjective. Beyond the ethical issue of cheating, inadequately learned skills and unqualified practitioners put lives at risk (e.g., medicine,...

Post-secondary students bring with them unique skills and knowledge which may affect their learning. Information literacy (IL) is a set of abilities which permits the discovery of information as well as using this information to create new knowledge (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2016). While IL abilities are heralded as important,...

Institutions of higher education are increasingly diverse with more women and people of color hired, but there remains much work to be done to ensure that underrepresented faculty feel supported in their careers, evaluated fairly for tenure and/or promotion, and made to feel appreciated and valued in their institutions.

As campuses become increasingly diverse, it is important that faculties maintain inclusive classrooms. Students of underrepresented ethnic/racial groups are more likely to experience disengagement in an academic setting (Nagasawa & Wong, 1999), which can lead to underperformance (Major et al., 1998). Students with LGBTQA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, t...

Universal design for learning (UDL) ensures that content is accessible to the largest audience by removing learning impediments (CAST, 2011). However, few scholars have surveyed students about how much UDL they encounter in their courses or how important they perceive these course modifications to be, especially in a post-secondary context. To this...

This paper examines an experiment conducted at a 2-year college with non-majors. The Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique (IFAT) is a cross between a lottery scratch ticket and a scantron form which was designed to replace scantrons (EpsteinEducation.com). Using the IFAT in an unconventional way (reviewing class material), we expected to find si...

Conference Paper
Most schools use some form of end of semester student evaluation of faculty performance, however, this feedback is typically returned to faculty too late to incorporate. In a student-centered academic environment, instructors should respond to student needs. To this end, there are many tools that can be used to elicit student feedback during the se...

Abstract Most research supports a non-selective (or exhaustive) account of activation whereby multiple meanings of a word are initially activated (Degani and Tokowicz Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 63, 1266-1303, 2010). But what happens to the non-selected meaning of an ambiguous word (e.g., bark) and how is the decision made to sele...

Academic professional development can be a fulfilling and rejuvenating experience, but it can also be quite overwhelming. Many good ideas are never implemented; perhaps for fear of failure, logistical uncertainty or an abundance of good ideas, with no time to implement them. Below, we outline some advice for using the professional development sessi...

The present study was conducted to examine the usefulness of peer feedback on APA-style research papers in a writing intensive class. Subsequent to APA training, students were asked to review and provide feedback on a classmate’s APA-style research report for both content and formatting. Performance on this research report was then compared to perf...

A linguistic version of the change-detection paradigm was used to examine good enough representation.
