Summary: Aviation is an interdisciplinary subject that has influenced human development over the last century, with aviation-themed STEM learning activities being used to develop future scientists and engineers. This study found that students' motivation to learn STEM via engaging in flight simulation experiences is mainly driven by peer support, followed by intrinsic motivation, and least influenced by self-efficacy. Results also indicate a gender gap in aviation-themed STEM learning.

Summary: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, university instructors shifted their classes online to ensure students' learning. However, tools to support university instructors in synchronous online education are still under-examined. To address this, we introduce Students' Understanding Visualizer (SUV), a system that visualizes students' understanding in real-time. Through a usability session with eight university instructors, we explore their experience and propose design opportunities for enhancing synchronous online lectures.

Summary: Research has shown that research integrity education for PhD students can lead to significant improvements in knowledge and attitude in the short term, although this impact may diminish over a few months, while the influence on behavior can be long-lasting. Additionally, such education can encourage students to engage in conversations about research integrity and apply the course content in their work.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of using learning analytics to support students' autonomy and competence needs in a blended learning environment. The findings show that teachers' adaptation based on learning analytics positively influences students' satisfaction with the adapted learning environment. However, students' basic psychological needs vary depending on the face-to-face workshop subject. The study emphasizes the importance of thoughtful blended learning course design and provides recommendations for effective learning analytics utilization in university settings.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between students' perceptions of themselves and their instructors and their home culture. The findings showed that Iranian and Iraqi students held similar perceptions of teacher success, credibility, and stroke variables, and these perceptions were positively associated with their willingness to attend classes. These results provide empirical support for the claim that students' home culture significantly influences their belief systems.

Summary: In the Medical Humanities course, students increased their reflective capacity and empathy through reflecting on communication difficulties, unconscious biases, and team service-learning experiences. They also reported growth in compassionate behavior due to bias mitigation. Most students acknowledged that unconscious bias could impact some of their clinical decisions or behaviors as healthcare professionals and pledged to remain aware of these biases in clinical settings.

Summary: Embryo and fetal nutrition, as well as the environment in the reproductive tract, play a significant role in influencing the risk of developing adult diseases and disorders, primarily through epigenetic programming. Environmental challenges faced by the mother, such as a low-protein diet, can alter the genetic programming of embryos and fetuses, impacting the risk of adult diseases for multiple generations.
