Raw data for the manuscript entitled: European Agrifood and Forestry Education for a Sustainable Future - Gap Analysis from an Informatics Approach Abstract Purpose: To evaluate how well European agrifood and forestry Masters program websites use vocabulary associated with the NextFood Project ‘categories of skills’. Methodology: Web-scraping Python scripts were used to collect texts from European Masters programs websites, which were then analysed using statistical tools including Partial Least Squares Regression and contextual relation analysis. A total of fourteen countries, twenty-seven universities, 1303 European Masters programs, 3305 web-pages and almost two million words were studied using this approach. Findings: While agrifood and forestry Masters programs used vocabulary from the NextFood Project ‘categories of skills’ in most cases equal to or more often than non-agrifood and forestry Masters programs, we found evidence for the relative underuse of words associated with networking skills, with least use among agriculture-related Masters programs. Practical Implications: The informatic approach provides evidence that European agrifood and forestry Masters programs are for the most part following the educational paths for meeting future challenges as outlined by the NextFood Project, with the possible exception of networking skills. Theoretical Implications: This text-based, informatic approach complements the more targeted approaches taken by the NextFood Project in studying the skilling-pathways, which involved focus-group interviews, surveys of stakeholders, interviews of individuals with expert-knowledge and literature reviews. Originality: A text-based, web-scraping informatic approach has thus far been limited in the study of agrifood and forestry higher education, especially relative to recent advances made in the social sciences.

This file set is the basis of a project in which Stephanie Pywell from The Open University Law School created and evaluated some online teaching materials – Fundamentals of Law (FoLs) – to fill a gap in the knowledge of graduate entrants to the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme. These students are granted exemption from the Level 1 law modules, from which they would normally acquire the basic knowledge of legal principles and methods that is essential to success in higher-level study. The materials consisted of 12 sessions of learning, each covering one key topic from a Level 1 law module.The dataset includes a Word document that consists of the text of a five-question, multiple-choice Moodle poll, together with the coding for each response option.The rest of the dataset consists of spreadsheets and outputs from SPSS and Excel showing the analyses that were conducted on the cleaned and anonymised data to ascertain students' use of, and views on, the teaching materials, and to explore any statistical association between students' studying of the materials and their academic success on Level 2 law modules, W202 and W203.Students were asked to complete the Moodle poll at the end of every session of study, of which there were 1,013. Only one answer from each of the 240 respondents was retained for Questions 3, 4 and 5, to avoid skewing the data. Some data are presented as percentages of the number of sessions studied; some are presented as percentages of the number of respondents, and some are presented as percentage of the number of respondents who meet specific criteria.Student identifiers, which have been removed to ensure anonymity, are as follows: Open University Computer User code (OUCU) and Personal Identifier (PI). These were used to collate the output from the Moodle poll with students' Level 2 module results.

ABSTRACT The health care model based on the Family Health Strategy, created in the early 1990s, encouraged changes in health education, highlighting the need to create lato and stricto sensu postgraduate courses aimed at empowering professionals that foster comprehensive health care. Periodic evaluations are carried out and encouraged by Capes/MEC in order to maintain the quality of postgraduate courses, but evaluations of recently-introduced professional master’s degree courses in family health remain scarce. Objectives To describe the academic profile, contribution, motivations and expectations of graduates of a Professional Master’s in Family Health. Method Cross-sectional and quantitative study to analyze the results of 102 questionnaires answered by graduates of the Professional Master’s Degree in Family Health of the Estácio de Sá University (RJ), who had concluded the course between 2007 and 2012. The instrument consisted of open-ended and closed-ended questions, sent by e-mail and made available online through the electronic platform Survey Monkey. The study evaluated age, gender, regional origin, academic background, as well as the contributions, expectations and motivations related to the course. Results The survey sample was formed predominantly by female graduates, aged over 30, from 13 Brazilian states and, mainly from Medicine and Nursing courses. The contribution of the master’s degree to the graduate’s professional life was evaluated as excellent by 77% of the interviewees. The expectations regarding the course were positively evaluated and the main reasons for seeking the qualification were scientific-technical improvement and personal satisfaction, rather than better salaries or job stability. Conclusion The course was evaluated positively by the graduates, having exceeded their expectations and satisfied the interests that led them to it, thus producing changes to their personal and professional life. A longitudinal analysis of the impact of the professional master’s degree in the career of graduates will require a sequence of similar studies, as has been stimulated by Capes/MEC in recent years.

IntroductionThe assessment of student outcomes is essential for monitoring the quality of graduate programs in healthcare sciences. As such, this study focused on developing a self-employed questionnaire that allowed for the evaluation of elements focused on career impact and levels of satisfaction regarding graduate program education. Following, this instrument was utilized in a cross-sectional study design with alumni that had obtained their degree (MSc or PhD) over a 25-year span (1995–2020) from a graduate program in dentistry located in Brazil.MethodsThe employed instrument comprised a total of 43 questions presenting a mix of both close and open-ended questions coupled with 5-point Likert scales. The questionnaire was hosted online and a total of 528 alumni were invited to participate through e-mail and social media outreach.Results376 alumni answered the questionnaire (71.2% response rate). The majority were female (69.9%), and with a MSc (58.5%). Levels of satisfaction towards the program as well the impact in career and life were higher in alumni that had obtained a PhD degree compared to MSc. After obtaining the degree, an increase in involvement in teaching/research positions (3.4% vs 21.5%, p < 001) and a decrease in unemployment (21.9% vs 2.1%, p < 001) were observed. The highest levels of impact were observed regarding the achievement of the professional goals as nearly 90% of the population agreed with this statement.ConclusionsThis study highlighted the creation and employment of an assessment tool that can be utilized to monitor the perceptions of student outcomes. Among the findings, a decrease in unemployment and a high degree of career impact and satisfaction were observed in the population of this study. Moving forward, it is essential that monitoring educational outcomes remains a priority worldwide.

Abstract

High quality postgraduate training in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related disciplines in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is important to strengthen research evidence to advance development and ensure countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Equally, participation of women in STEM careers is vital, to ensure that countries develop economies that work for all their citizens. However, women and girls remain underrepresented in STEM due to gender stereotyping, lack of visible role models, and unsupportive policies and work environments. Therefore, there is a need to consolidate information on participation and experiences of women in STEM related postgraduate training and careers in SSA to enhance their contribution to realizing the SDGs. The primary objective of this study is to examine the participation and experiences of women in postgraduate training, and their subsequent recruitment, retention and progression in STEM careers in East Africa. A secondary objective is to establish the gender gaps in training and career engagement in selected STEM related academic disciplines in East Africa. The descriptive study will employ a mixed methods approach, including a scoping review, qualitative interviews, and quantitative analysis of secondary data. We will synthesize results to inform the development of an effective gendered approach and framework to improve participation and experiences of women in STEM training and career engagements in SSA. We will conduct the study over a period of five years.

Qualitative data: Women in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in postgraduate training and career Quantitative data: Postgraduate students, faculty, reseachers and supervisors (both men and women) in STEM in Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) member Universitiies

Sampling procedure

The study utilized a purposive sampling technique and targeted all universities that offered doctoral programs in applied sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics. At the time, only 23 of the 74 universities in Kenya—equivalent to 30%—offered doctoral degrees in STEM. It was assumed that a similar or lower percentage would be found in the other five countries, namely Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan.

Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants from purposively selected universities and national higher education commissions and agencies for the study. In universities, all students enrolled in doctoral programs in STEM were considered. Additionally, female and male students' lecturers, supervisors, mentors, and other faculty members and researchers in the identified institutions were also considered for participation in the study.

Purposive sampling of doctoral students, faculty, and early career researchers (post-doctoral fellows within the first six years since receiving their PhD) was conducted using the following inclusion criteria:

Inclusion criteria i. Worked in a STEM field/discipline ii. Enrolled in a doctoral program within a STEM field iii. Early career researchers in a STEM field in research organizations iv. Faculty in a STEM field at a university

Additionally, registrars, postgraduate training coordinators, heads of departments, and officials from national agencies and ministries related to postgraduate training and research were purposively selected from all the identified universities to provide input on existing policies, guidelines, and enrollment data. For each of the mentioned groups, 7-12 interviews were conducted, totaling 60 interviews.

Sampling deviation

Qualitative For the Key informant interviews one participant was interviewed from the engineers board despite the scope being Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) member Universities.

Research instrument

Quantitative data collection A. Online Survey This was carried out through an online survey questionnaire that was circulated via email and other digital platforms such as WhatsApp. The questionnaire had various parts: Part A - Participants characteristics This section mainly collected demographic details such as age, gender, nationality, residence, marital status, income, highest level of education completed, year of study, supervision and mentoship relationship, field of study in STEM (Science, Technology, Enginnering and Mathematics), mode of funding of postgraduate degree,

Part B - Status of Gender equality This section collected information on students enrollment and graduation in masters and PhD in STEM looking at gender distribution,

Part C - Factors that contribute to participation of women in STEM This section collected information on the factors or situations encountered while pursuing career in STEM in your specific discipline

Part D - Strategies for Optimizing Women's Engagement in STEM This section collected information on the strategies can maximize engagement of women in STEM training PhD level and subsequent careers

Part E - Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's progression In this section collected information on COVID-19 pandemic affect on research progress or deadline for submission of thesis, COVID-19 pandemic affect on current research funding, COVID-19 pandemic caused researchers to work from home, working from affected progress in studies, any direct responsibilities caring for children, number of children being taken care of, change of domestic work responsibilities since the COVID-19 outbreak, change of domestic work responsibilities since the COVID-19 outbreak on studies, COVID-19 pandemic affect on access to these research tools which inlude: Computer or laptop, Reliable Internet, Assistive Technology, Laboratory equipment, University Library, Archives/special collections and Access to patients/research participants. It als collected information on: any benefits to COVID-19 pandemic for your work, some ways one thinks their supervisor or line manager could support or help one manage the impacts of COVID-19 on studies

The questionnaire was developed in English and was latertranslated into French to accommodate the French speaking countries i.e Burundi and Rwanda. The French questionnaire was backtlanslated to English to ensure the questions still maintained their original meaning. This work was done by an external consultant and the French questionnaires were reviewed by the research assistant from Burundi and tested among postgraduate students in Light University.

All questionnares and modules are provided as external resources.

Cleaning operations

Qualitative The data was collected through qualitative interviews (In-depth interviews) and focus group discussions. They were audio recorded and the recordings were transcribed on Ms Ofiice.The transcript were subjected to data quality checks and the clean transcripts were anonyzed for data protection.

QUANTITATIVE Secondary data The data was collected from the five countries in an Ms Excel designed data abstraction sheet. The data abstraction sheet helped the universities administrators and rergistrars to directly enter the data only in the required field and for the defined or specific variables. For the dataset that was in hardcopy format the data entry was also done using the data abstraction sheets. The data sets were subjected to data quality checks for data quality. We used a standard template to ensure data editing took place during data entry.

Online survey Data entry was in form of responding to the survey. Data editing was done while cleaning the data.

Response rate

Quantitaive The online survey link was circulated using contacts within universities and research institutions in East Africa via email and social media platforms such as WhatApp hence it is impossible to track those who received the survey and hence it is not possible t calculate the survey response rate.

"Faculty Perspectives on a Collaborative, Multi-Institutional Online Hydrology Graduate Student Training Program" by Anne J. Jefferson, Steven P. Loheide, and Deanna H. McCay. Submitted to Frontiers in Water, in the research topic: “Innovations in Remote and Online Education by Hydrologic Scientists", May 2022

Abstract: The CUAHSI Virtual University is an interinstitutional graduate training framework that was developed to increase access to specialized hydrology courses for graduate students from participating institutions. The program was designed to capitalize on the benefits of collaborative teaching, allowing students to differentiate their learning and access subject matter experts at multiple institutions, while enrolled in a single course at their home institution, through a framework of reciprocity. Although the CUAHSI Virtual University was developed prior to the covid-19 pandemic, the resilience of its online education model to such disruptions to classroom teaching increases the urgency of understanding how effective such an approach is at achieving its goals and what challenges multi-institutional graduate training faces for sustainability and expansion within the water sciences or in other disciplines. To gain faculty perspectives on the program, we surveyed water science faculty who had served as instructors in the program, as well as water science faculty who had not participated and departmental chairs of participating instructors. Our data show widespread agreement across respondent types that the program is positive for students, diversifying their educational opportunities and increasing access to subject matter experts. Concerns and factors limiting faculty participation revolved around faculty workload and administrative barriers, including low enrollment at individual institutions. If these barriers can be surmounted, the CUAHSI Virtual University has the potential for wider participation within hydrology and adoption in other STEM disciplines.

The Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) was designed to provide comprehensive information on various aspects of postsecondary education in the United States and its territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Marshall Islands) and Department of Defense schools outside the United States. The HEGIS Fall Enrollment Component for 1974 sought enrollment data for all public and nonpublic 2- and 4-year institutions and their branches for postbaccalaureate students enrolled for advanced degrees, both graduate and professional. The data cover information on enrollments by class level, number of full-time and part-time male and female students enrolled at various levels (graduate, undergraduate, etc.), sex, race, calendar system, type of accreditation, and enrollments of first-time students. All of these data were acquired in terms of head counts and full-time equivalents, by state.

Flipped classroom models encourage student autonomy and reverse the order of traditional classroom content such as lectures and assignments. Virtual learning environments are ideal for executing flipped classroom models to improve critical thinking skills. This paper provides health professions faculty with guidance on developing a virtual flipped classroom in online graduate nutrition courses between September 2021 and January 2022 at the School of Health Professions, Rutgers The State University of New Jersey. Examples of pre-class, live virtual face-to-face, and post-class activities are provided. Active learning, immediate feedback, and enhanced student engagement in a flipped classroom may result in a more thorough synthesis of information, resulting in increased critical thinking skills. This article describes how a flipped classroom model design in graduate online courses that incorporate virtual face-to-face class sessions in a virtual learning environment can be utilized to promote critical thinking skills. Health professions faculty who teach online can apply the examples discussed to their online courses.
