Using data from the China College Student Survey, this research adopts Becher and Trowler’s theory of discipline classification to understand the relationship between undergraduate research and students’ learning outcomes in different disciplines. It indicates that first, contributing to journals/conferences correlates with students’ self-reported learning outcomes in Physics, History, and Engineering, but these relationships can be explained by process-centered activities, except in Physics. Second, early-year undergraduates’ learning outcomes are relatively weakly related to conducting research with faculty in pure disciplines. By contrast, such relationships are distinct in applied disciplines. Third, in soft disciplines, participating in competitions significantly correlates with more types of students’ learning outcomes than conducting research with faculty, while in hard disciplines, they both play quite important roles. It makes recommendations for future research and practice, which enrich insight into how universities can best engage undergraduates in research.KEYWORDS: Undergraduate researchstudent developmentlearning outcomeundergraduate educationdiscipline Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by China's National Sciences Foundation (Grant No. 72104120).","PeriodicalId":73238,"journal":{"name":"Higher education research and development","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136307915","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}

Those efforts, however, are often not informed by knowledge about course innovation characteristics university-wide, and are often not supported by processes of reflection questioning the ‘who’, ‘how’ and ‘for what’ of course innovations. This study applied the multifaceted analytical Course Innovation Framework (CIF) in order to explore characteristics of a large set of intended course innovations in a higher education institution in the Netherlands. The application of the CIF enabled a descriptive analysis of multiple characteristics of the intended course innovations. This analysis unveiled university-wide course innovation trends, upon which university stakeholders reflected in order to responsibly guide and transform policy and practices. The study findings show how the application of the CIF helps to gather situated knowledge on university-wide innovation trends, and how reflection on these trends empowers stakeholders to deliberate the culture and values of educational innovation they wish to promote within their institution.","PeriodicalId":73238,"journal":{"name":"Higher education research and development","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136307692","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}

In recounting three stories with fieldwork data gleaned from moments of students’ pre-class discussions, reflective writings, and reports on term-paper projects, this study showcases how a group of student-teachers transformed the self through getting to know and/or re-understanding other(s). Learning to ‘write culture’, as their teacher led them to see, is to appreciate the lifeworlds of others and further to destabilise taken-for-granted assumptions, beliefs, and understandings, thereby leading towards transformation. I argue that transformative learning takes place in the process of knowing and rebuilding the self in relationships with other(s). It constitutes moments of critical shift that place the self and identity in a more reflexive, relational, and reversible position within specific socio-cultural contexts. This study contributes to the ongoing discussions on transformative education by illuminating how other(s) play a role in promoting pre-service teachers’ transformation in a classroom-based course.KEYWORDS: Selfothertransformative learningpre-service teacherknowingcritical reflection/thinking AcknowledgmentsI’d like to express my sincere gratitude to the two anonymous reviewers and Dr. Simon Hoult, Prof. Linden West, and Dr. Hua Yu for their careful reading and constructive comments on earlier drafts of this article.

However, the orthodoxy of the major-based undergraduate curriculum (MBUC) has rarely been challenged in the GE literature. Drawing on Clarke’s (2018) [Clarke, M. (2018). Rethinking graduate employability: The role of capital, individual attributes and context. Studies in Higher Education, 43(11), 1923–1937. https://doi.org/10.1080/03075079.2017.1294152] integrated employability model, this paper explores how MBUC affects undergraduate students’ GE development. The data were 27 interviews with undergraduates majoring in Portuguese at six Chinese universities. Findings show that the MBUC weakens students’ perceived employability by cultivating a single rather than compound skill set, limiting their social circles and, therefore, horizons for action and delaying their career self-management. More directly, it affects GE in some cases by overproducing a homogeneously skilled workforce. We argue that in many fields of the current world of work, the MBUC may have contradicted its original, and once achieved, goal of enhancing GE for a particular profession; rather, in practice, it has become an obstacle to GE development.KEYWORDS: Undergraduate curriculumcollege majorgraduate employabilityhuman capitalgraduate attribute AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to sincerely thank the participants for their generous support and express their gratitude to the anonymous reviewers for their valuable insights and feedback.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Chinese universities are primarily categorised according to their strongest academic disciplines, with many institutions possessing expertise and robust research programmes in particular industries.2 In recent years, some Chinese short-form video hosting services have become popular overseas, including in Portuguese-speaking countries.

While the three pillars of higher education – teaching, research, and service – are cited as being core to the modern university, it is the nexus between them that provides the particular institutional identity and purpose. While nexuses exist in every university, the form such nexuses take varies considerably across university types, geographical contexts, student bodies, and programmes. We investigate the nature of the nexuses in one South African university through an analysis of observations, interviews, documents, and a survey. The study suggests that several mechanisms strengthen the nexuses of this university, including geographical positioning, institutional history and an explicitly articulated set of values. It cautions however that the nexuses can be constrained by other mechanisms at play. We argue that there is need for reflecting on and strengthening nexuses within universities in the interests of clarifying the specific academic project. Without this, universities can be swayed in any direction and can lose sight of the identity they would like to claim for themselves.KEYWORDS: Nexusesteachingresearchservicecommunity engagementacademic project AcknowledgementThe authors are grateful to those who participated and contributed to this study by generously sharing their experiences.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The third pillar, service, is called by various names in different countries such as ‘community engagement’ and ‘outreach’, with subtle distinctions in meaning. In some university systems, the term service includes service to the institution such as sitting on committees and participating in fund raising (Adonis, Citation2014). In South Africa the term service entails engagement with communities beyond the university walls. We use the terms ‘service’ and ‘community engagement’ interchangeably in this article.2 Survey and interview protocols are available on request.3 Service-learning is the most direct example of the teaching-community engagement nexus whereby working with communities is part of the formal curriculum and designed to enhance the students’ learning experiences as much as it is designed to address needs and goals specified by community members.4 Makhanda is the new name of the town previously called Grahamstown. Grahamstown was named in 1812 after Lieutenant-Colonel Graham who used scorched earth tactics to establish the area as a British military outpost.
