Exploring the perceptions and concerns of Canadian international students (IS)
(2023-07-01)Higher education institutions may not fully understand the challenges faced by international students (IS), such as housing, mental health, and discrimination. The present study looked at factors that influence IS’s decision ... -
Exploring the relationships between year of eligibility, self-perceptions and training behaviour in varsity student-athletes
(2023-06-01)Although there is much research on the experiences and academic accomplishments of student-athletes, less work has focused on factors influencing training and performance outcomes among varsity student-athletes. This study ... -
Exploring the use of blogging in applied vs. academic mathematics classrooms
(2015-01-01)Reports worldwide indicate that students are having difficulty with mathematics, specifically with their ability to problem-‐solve and communicate (EQAO, 2014; Muliis, Martin, Foy & Arora, 2012; OECD, 2012). This study ... -
Exploring the use of flipped classrooms in secondary school chemistry classes
(2019-03-01)Previous research has suggested that the flipped classroom is effective for higher education students, however, limited research has been conducted for secondary school students. The purpose of this study was to investigate ... -
Exploring the use of mathematics apps in the elementary school classroom
(2017-01-01)Many reports indicate that students have difficulty in mathematics (Carr, 2012; Hinton, 2014; National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2013). Some evidence suggests that technology can help improve student performance ... -
Exploring the utility of crowdsourcing frameworks to inform the construction of a web-based 3D printing application (3DCrowdGo)
(2022-08-01)Healthcare trainees learn hands-on skills using simulators before attempting them on patients. COVID-19 shifted in-person learning to online presenting unique challenges, as equipping large cohorts of learners with simulators ... -
Exploring views on learner orientations and their impact on support and community in online synchronous undergraduate programs
(2013-09-01)The goal of this research project is to assist in filling the void that currently exists around orientation initiatives for online learners in two fully synchronous online programs. This study investigates the view of ... -
Exploring volumetric video & VR on self-efficacy for first aid training - a pilot study
(2023-12-01)The health profession is currently in a global crisis due to the lack of health professionals, such as nurses and doctors. In response to this ongoing crisis, extended reality is being investigated as a potential modality ... -
