Todd Zakrajsek , ITLC Lilly Conferences on Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning Key Statement: Self-efficacy and self-regulation are social processes that are critical for successful learning. Keywords: Self-Efficacy, Self-Regulation, Social Cognition, Success Introduction Although “brain-based” learning has captured the attention of educators for the past two decades, much of what has been discussed and implemented would fit much better into the areas of cognitive and social psychology.

Image: While this academic year saw the largest one-year increase in full-time faculty members’ average salaries in over three decades, that still wasn’t enough to stop their real wages from falling due to inflation, the American Association of University Professors noted this Thursday alongside its latest salary survey data. They are preliminary data for the 2022–23 academic year; AAUP plans to release the final data in July.
Flipped classrooms aren’t a new concept, but they saw adoption at scale during the pandemic as educators looked for ways to keep college students interested and engaged from beyond the classroom. Even with a partial return to in-person learning, many higher education institutions still use flipped classroom models for HyFlex and hybrid instruction. Here’s what that looks like, both in theory and in practice.
You’re in the hospital with a serious condition. The doctor is asking you questions. The nurse is explaining your discharge instructions. The problem? You don’t understand or speak English. Or at least not well enough to grasp the complex information being discussed. And not only is there a linguistic gap between you and your medical team, but there is also a cultural barrier that’s preventing you from getting the quality of care you need and deserve.
Experts believe that without a strong STEM workforce, America could lose its position as the world’s preeminent power. However, America is facing a STEM labor shortage, and part of the reason is racial. African Americans are underrepresented in STEM jobs , and Black students leave STEM majors at nearly double the rate of whites. The problem has roots at the K-12 level: while 15% of public school students are Black , only 7% of the STEM teacher population is.
Image: Community colleges serve high numbers of parenting students, but too few institutions have campus childcare centers, or sufficient spots to meet demand, to help these students persist and graduate. At the same time, Head Start, a federally funded program offering free early childhood education to low-income families, is suffering from enrollment declines and staffing shortages.

Image: Tracking public opinion about higher education can be a confounding experience. Pollsters ask slightly varied questions on roughly similar themes, which can make comparing their results difficult and leave those interested in the results lacking clarity. That can result in headlines like these over the last couple of years: “ Gen Z’s Distrust in Higher Ed a ‘Red Flag ,’” “ Public’s Impression of Higher Education Improves (Somewhat) ” and &ld
Higher education remains a prime target for cybercriminals, and attacks are on the rise. One report by Checkpoint Research found that cyberattacks against the education and research sectors jumped by 44 percent in the first half of 2022 compared with all of 2021. Verizon also noted in its most recent Data Breach Investigation Report that educational institutions experienced a dramatic increase in ransomware attacks in recent years.
Medaille University will finalize its merger with Trocaire College on July 31 if approved by the State Department of Education and other related agencies. Medaille Interim President Lori Quigley announced the move Tuesday in her State of the University address. She explained that Medaille, based in Buffalo, was driven to take the action by COVID-19, low birth rates and subsequent poor enrollment numbers in the area’s private institutions.
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, community colleges across the country saw a decline in enrollment for myriad reasons — financial, family, illness, lack of internet or inability to adapt to online learning. As in-person and hybrid learning resume, enrollment numbers have not returned to pre-COVID levels. Economic issues still impact many community college students, a large number of whom are adult learners or have extensive family obligations.
Image: Many college students see teaching style as a barrier to their success , but which class formats and active learning methods do they prefer? In a Student Voice pulse survey of 1,250 undergraduates, conducted in March and released today from Inside Higher Ed and College Pulse, the largest share of students say they typically learn and retain information best in an interactive lecture—somewhere between a traditional lecture and a high-intensity active learning environment.
The culminating representation of many years of hard work, exploration, change, and perseverance, graduation is a pivotal moment for grads and their friends and families, one they anticipate all year long. There are high expectations for everyone involved! It’s also one of the most overwhelming and time-consuming parts of the academic year for the campus pros involved in planning it.

Image: When Turnitin was launched in 1998, the early ed-tech start-up promised a solution to one of the most pressing threats to academic integrity in the nascent internet era: easy plagiarism from online sources. Twenty-five years later, the question on every classroom instructor’s lips has shifted from “how do I know if my student is copying someone else’s work?
The enrollment crisis in higher education shows few signs of waning. Undergraduate college enrollment fell a staggering 8 percent between 2019 and 2022, according to a report in March from The Associated Press, which said that blaming the dip solely on the COVID-19 pandemic was a mistake. Students are questioning the value of expensive college tuition and the wisdom of incurring years of student debt.

It's normal. That's what most current and former athletes thought about Angel Reese waving her hand in front of her face and signaling towards a ring on her hand. The non-verbal form of trash-talking or trolling is familiar to contact sports like basketball. So why is Reese, in particular, being ostracized for normative behavior? Given the negative attention towards Reese and other Black women in sports, two things come to mind: race and gender.

The fallout of the pandemic and recent economic shakeups has recently reminded graduating high schoolers that the pathway to a high-wage job doesn’t necessarily require a college degree. However, these experts believe higher education is at an inflection point to evolve past its focus on academia and prioritize equipping its students with career skills and that the best way to get there is by partnering with relevant businesses and employers.
Occasionally divisions and departments may be called upon to provide a more formal rationale for why they pursue (or why they wish to pursue) the development of a residential curriculum or curricular approach.
Watching Black women win is one of our favorite things. Conversely, it seems to be one of society’s least favorite things. Just look at the past four days. Only two days after South Carolina coach Dawn Staley called out the media for the way it (and other coaches) described her team’s intense style of play, the media has cast two distinct visions of women basketball players giving it their all to lead their team to the NCAA women’s basketball national championship.
Image: Chicago State University faculty members and academic support professionals began striking Monday, and more walkouts are set to begin this week and next in Illinois.

When Brown University released its landmark 2006 report documenting the institution’s historical involvement in slavery, many of its recommendations were one-time fixes: revising the university’s official history, creating memorials, and the like. Some, however, required longer-term engagement, such as the creation of the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice (CSSJ), a research hub focusing on the history of slavery and its contemporary impacts.
Image: Huddled around a table in the Georgetown University Alumni House, roughly two dozen academics convened last week to address two of the most persistent challenges in higher education: improving student outcomes and lowering the cost of a bachelor’s degree.
