scenario where observing how their actions can impact thenegotiation process can help encourage the adoption of strategies in future negotiations. Thegame was also specifically developed to have a reinforcement loop, where there is no “correct”policy outcome, allowing the actions of the players to be amplified and reflections to be moreauthentic. Two key concepts within the social learning theory are vicarious reinforcement andallowing learners to understand the feedback and reflect on their actions [18].Learning Outcomes of the GameWhile the game has a general theme of antibiotic resistance, the overall goal is not simply toelucidate what stakeholders surrounding antibiotic resistance believe and are seeking, but also togain a more nuanced

through research and find more feasible and Chinese-characteristic practicalimplementation plans, upgrading and restructuring teaching methods and ideologies.The research status of STEM education also reflects the level of importance thatcolleges and universities attach to it. According to the attention-based views[26],focusing research efforts on STEM education helps to allocate relevant resourcestowards STEM education. Given that the ultimate goal of STEM education is toenhance practical innovation ability, theoretically speaking, strengthening the researchof STEM education is beneficial for improving the performance of cultivatinginnovative talent in colleges and universities. Based on the above analysis, this paperputs forward the following

It is an important bridge and link connecting external programaccreditation and internal quality improvement, and can be the core and focus of thequality improvement of higher engineering education. If there is no specialexplanation, the governance object of higher engineering education quality will bepositioned in the narrow sense of higher engineering education quality, that is, theengineering education quality at the program level.2.3 GovernanceThe broad concept of governance has always existed in history. For a long time, it hasbeen used interchangeably with the term “government”, which is mainly used in themanagement and political activities of public affairs related

Within the reflections shared, it was mentioned that several panelmembers appreciated the opportunity to increase their understanding of how the Federalgovernment works, thus demonstrating a desire for more active transparency when it comes toSTEM education policy for non-Federal stakeholders of STEM education. Among the panel’srecommendations provided, some that stood out were that Federal STEM efforts should 1. Ensure the inclusion of the multiple disciplines within STEM in future strategic plans and government programs. 2. Encourage the inclusion of STEM in reading and writing curricula. 3

institution’s goal of reaching R1 status (Ford, 2023; Weissman, 2023).The Carnegie Classification® is the leading framework for recognizing and describinginstitutional diversity in U.S. higher education. The Carnegie Commission on Higher Educationdeveloped the system in 1973 to support its research and policy analysis program. Derived fromempirical data on colleges and universities, the Carnegie Classification® was updated in 1976,1987, 1994, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2018, and 2021 to reflect changes among colleges anduniversities. The system includes any institution of higher education that conferred at least onedegree during 2019-20, as reported through the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System

]. Eudaimonic well-being refers to self-realization, choosing to engage inchallenging activities and continuously seeking opportunities for personal growth [5]. Thesethree forms of well-being have been shown to correlate highly with one another [8] and clusteronto a higher order latent construct. Based on the literature, this study considers the full extent ofwellbeing by creating a composite measure that consists of constructs such as satisfaction withlife, positive affect, and self-efficacy-resilience.PISA evaluation considers wellbeing as a multidimensional construct consisting of subjective aswell as material components that should reflect students’ lifestyle and quality of life [9]. Thisstudy specifically focuses on three main elements in PISA

plan which needs to beaccepted by the unit’s executive committee. (The executive committee consists of the tenuredfaculty in the unit, excluding those tenured faculty holding certain administrative roles.) Thisallows a faculty member and the executive committee to agree upon a plan of work that bestsuits the skills and interests of the faculty member, while allowing the unit to satisfy its staffingneeds. Most of these five-year plans will closely reflect the standard workload policy of the unit,but some may adjust the distribution of the work of a faculty member between teaching,research, and service as deemed appropriate. Ideally, a comprehensive PTR conducted by a unitwill be based upon how well the faculty member met the five-year plan as

distinct purposes, our research revealed significant interrelatedness andsimilarity between the two types of centers vis-à-vis students’ lived experiences. In this paper, wetherefore discuss them holistically in order to reflect the grounded theory data rather than a prioriprofessional or organizational distinctions.1. Services tied to academic performanceSome students encountered challenges accessing services if their GPA was too high. They reportedthat there is a policy at their university that if a student’s GPA is above a certain threshold, theycannot seek help from the disability services center. This policy prevented them from getting helpthey believed they needed. As one student explained: At the university, I did really well
