This document summarizes the key findings and recommendations from a joint task force commissioned by the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers. The task force examined what skills and knowledge undergraduate physics students need to succeed in a diverse range of careers. They found that while physics graduates can have successful careers, they are often unprepared for areas like teamwork, communication, and real-world problem solving. The task force recommends physics programs incorporate more applied learning goals, hands-on projects, and professional skills training to better prepare students for careers both inside and outside of academia. Departments are encouraged to modify courses and curricula with these goals in mind.
The Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program at UMKC was established in 1990 to replace six discipline-specific Ph.D. programs with one interdisciplinary program.

Designing a connected research impact strategy for arts and humanities discip...Niamh NicGhabhann
This document discusses strategies for measuring the impact of arts and humanities research, which often involves non-traditional outputs. It notes that current systems focus too narrowly on citations and publications. To develop an inclusive system, it recommends considering four questions: how the research benefits society, who finds it valuable, how to communicate its value, and how to prove others find it valuable. It provides examples answering these questions for two projects and emphasizes gathering diverse evidence of impact from the beginning to communicate research value to different stakeholders.

Challenges of online learning for campus based universities open educational...ROER4D
Three key challenges facing universities in South Africa are the relevance of the curriculum, affordability of education, and cultural recognition. While online learning aims to address economic issues, it may not sufficiently transform education or recognize diverse cultures. Open educational resources (OER) and practices (OEP) could help by allowing customization of materials, reducing costs, and encouraging collaboration across institutions. However, simply using OER "as is" may reinforce dominant perspectives. To fully realize social justice, OER and OEP must support restructuring economic models, recognizing diverse cultures, and plural perspectives through collaborative creation and sharing of open resources.
This document discusses interdisciplinary research and education. It defines interdisciplinarity as different specialists from two or more fields working together towards common goals. True interdisciplinarity occurs when researchers modify their approaches to better address a problem. The document discusses barriers to interdisciplinary work, including differences between disciplines in ways of knowing and working, and incentives within academic institutions that are organized by traditional departments. It recommends students seek interdisciplinary experiences, and that researchers immerse themselves in other collaborating disciplines to overcome barriers to interdisciplinary research.
Based upon a recently completed survey of Museum Studies programs, alumni, and professionals, the
panel will discuss: 1) Are Museum Studies programs changing and adapting to the needs of those seeking employment in the field?; 2) What challenges are facing programs such as the disparity between program costs and salaries in the field?; 3) Are the programs focused on skills training or life-long learning? Bring your perspective and join in the conversation.
A Critical Investigation Of Access To Social Work Students Post-Compulsory E...Gina Rizzo
This document summarizes Jean Dillon's Institution Focused Study (IFS) which investigated the post-compulsory education and career choices of students enrolled in an "access to social work" course at a college of further education. The study was motivated by concerns about the misrepresentation of non-traditional students in widening participation policy and the barriers they face in accessing higher education. Seven students were interviewed about key life events or "turning points" that influenced their decisions and their reasons for pursuing caring routes to education. Significant findings included that decisions are complex and influenced by both primary and secondary turning points. Motivations included turning bad experiences into good, gradual recognition of a calling, a philanthropic drive, and recognition of the

The model demonstrates how knowledge can be generated within community contexts through diverse networks and relationships. Next steps discussed rethinking university structures and roles to better support collaborative, place-based models of knowledge generation.
The Nuffield Science Teaching Project sought to modernize science education for students ages 5 to 18 through new courses in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and junior science. It emphasized hands-on practical work and teaching science as an inquiry process. The Science-A Process Approach (SAPA) program similarly focused on developing students' understanding of science processes over memorization of facts. An evaluation of SAPA found it improved students' skills in cognitive science processes and teachers' understanding of science processes, though had no impact on students' content knowledge.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
