E-proctoring tools became a convenient option, although their effectiveness and efficiency were uninvestigated. The authors of this study utilized the fraud investigation frameworks and focused on the element of opportunity in the context of E-assessment. The quantitative study on grades and testing times between E-proctored and non-proctored online tests revealed significant differences in both academic performance and testing time. Students performed significantly better and used remarkably more time when proctoring tools were not used. The findings strongly indicated cheating behaviors when students took advantage of not being caught for their misconduct. The drastic variances also indicate the deterrence effects of E-proctoring tools on students’ testing behaviors.","PeriodicalId":512130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Higher Education Theory and Practice","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141670543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, in the project’s first phase, students explored, researched, identified, and interpreted the related accounting standards from the Codification for a fictional client’s investment activities. Students then ran an investment portfolio simulation in the second phase, in which they (1) created organic investment activities, (2) made authentic applications of accounting standards, (3) analyzed and evaluated the impact on self-prepared financial reports, and (4) modified subsequent investment decisions. Most students were well motivated to explore and self-study the accounting concepts and procedures. They considered the project relevant, interesting, and effective. Their performance in project knowledge tests improved student learning along factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognition knowledge dimensions. They were willing to put time and effort into the project and would recommend it for future use.","PeriodicalId":512130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Higher Education Theory and Practice","volume":" 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141671205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aims to formulate a strategy to increase the effectiveness of differentiated learning, especially in private junior high schools that implement the \"Independent Curriculum\" independently. The strategy is formulated based on a structural model between the effectiveness of differentiated learning variables with academic supervision and exogenous organizational culture variables and achievement motivation as an intervening variable. This cross-sectional research was conducted on 182 private junior high school teachers in Cibinong District, Bogor, who were randomly selected proportionally. SmarPLS 3 software was used to help analyze the data. The results of this research conclude that academic supervision, organizational culture, and achievement motivation are important factors in increasing the effectiveness of differentiated learning. Achievement motivation mediates the influence of academic supervision and organizational culture on the effectiveness of differentiated learning. The effectiveness of differentiated learning can be increased by implementing academic supervision strategies and organizational culture that can increase teacher achievement motivation.","PeriodicalId":512130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Higher Education Theory and Practice","volume":"128 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141351266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literature documenting these experiences has grown extensively, with educators highlighting challenges and opportunities in distance learning formats. These reports are crucial to understanding how forced adaptations resulted in more productive activities for students than we had thought of before. These experiences also hold fundamental importance for deriving insights for the future, serving as valuable lessons for colleagues to draw inspiration from and apply them to their disciplines. This article describes an experience developed in an introductory Marketing subject that, due to university directives, adopted a blended learning regime during COVID-19. What started as a problem turned into an opportunity. An alumni engagement activity was devised to enhance student motivation — an undertaking that would have been challenging in an exclusively classroom-based setting. This activity became essential, elevating student motivation, promoting new experiences, facilitating networking, and encouraging collaborative work.","PeriodicalId":512130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Higher Education Theory and Practice","volume":"77 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141350568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
