“…It is important to integrate the results of studies and the dedication of lecturers into the learning sources, as this helps foster a broader perspective for students. Similarly, some studies indicate that higher education institutions do not corporate study fundings into their learning sources [51]. In this digital era, the integration of studies and technologies is crucial due to their accessibility [52].…”

Academic writing has been a widely substantial course in higher education as it plays a vital role in cultivating students’ academic writing skills. Drawing on qualitative descriptive study, this study aims to explore the fundamental requirements for academic writing to base the creation of an effective learning framework. Data consisted of teaching materials, semester learning plan (SLP), assessment tools, and guidelines for academic writing from three universities in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Findings reveal that learning materials and the SLP have both strengths and weaknesses. Despite these, there is diversity in learning and assessment methods. Adopted teaching methods encompass project-based learning, problemsolving, and lectures, while learning assessment includes portfolio techniques, project assessment, and written exams. These findings provide insight into the imperative of academic writing in the academic setting. This serves as a basis for the development of more effective learning methods. Thus, the proposed model for academic writing adopts a project-based approach to improve students’ writing by integrating indigenous wisdom to promote students' character development.

“…The approaches taken in module delivery and academic support may vary across HE institutions (Wei et al , 2023; Yale, 2017). For example, in the context of the built environment (BE), industry orientation and drawing details (Gomis et al , 2023b; Rotar, 2022; Dawson and Osborne, 2019). Some HE institutes provide personal and pastoral support, such as mental well-being, inclusivity, technological underpinning, industry orientation, specialised support and knowledge-specific support.…”

Purpose The need to enhance student support is evident in higher education (HE) curricula. In addition to the complications created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the current strategies used in academia are criticised for their lack of appropriate student support in HE. The study focused on the themes under Section 4 of the National Student Survey (NSS): availability to contact tutors, receiving good advice and guidance and availability of good advice. The study aimed to provide recommendations for enhancing academic support by developing drivers that need implementation during course delivery. Design/methodology/approach A documental analysis and a qualitative survey were adopted for this study. A documental analysis of 334 mid-module reviews (MMRs) from levels three to six students in the built environment (BE) discipline. Critical themes identified from the MMRs were fed forward in developing a questionnaire for academics. A sample of 23 academics, including a Head of school, a Principal lecturer, Subject leads and Lecturers, participated in the questionnaire survey. Content analysis is adopted through questionnaire data to develop drivers to enhance academic support in BE. These drivers are then modelled by interpretive structural modelling (ISM) to identify their correlation to NSS Section 4 themes. A level partition analysis establishes how influential they are in enhancing academic support. Findings The study identified nine drivers, where two drivers were categorised as fundamental, two as significant, four as important, and one insignificant in enhancing academic support in HE. Module leaders’/tutors’ improving awareness and detailing how academic support is provided were identified as fundamental. Differentiating roles in giving advice and the importance of one-to-one meetings were identified as significant. A level partitioning diagram was developed from the nine drivers to illustrate how these drivers need to be implemented to promote the best practices in academic support in HE. Practical implications The identified drivers and their categories can be used to set prioritised guidelines for academics and other educational institutions to improve students’ overall satisfaction. Originality/value Novelty from the study will be the developed drivers and the level partitioning diagram to assist academics and academic institutions in successfully integrating academic support into HE curricula.

“…Further, Chen et al (2022) visualized health education knowledge domain and highlighted the field's most productive journals, organizations, countries, etc., The study also focused on the co-citation analysis of the documents. Similarly, a study was conducted to evaluate the research publication in the field of Sport and Physical Education (Sofyan et al, 2022), technology in physical education (Gazali et al, 2023), research trends in educational technologies (Yılmaz Özden et al, 2023), disaster education (Roslan et al, 2022), learning resources in higher education (Gomis et al, 2023), smart learning (Kaur & Bhatia, 2021), e-learning (Maurer & Salman, 2010;Mashroofa et al, 2019;Gupta & Dhawan, 2020;Bai et al, 2021), gamification in education (Nadi-Ravandi & Batooli, 2022), and so on. It is fascinating that the concept of SDL is getting remarkable attention in the field of nursing education as several researches have been conducted by Lunyk-Child et al (2001), Cheng et al (2010), Klunklin et al (2010), Shen et al (2014), Shirazi et al (2017), Shirazi et al (2021).…”

Self-directed learning (SDL) skills enable an individual to be self-sufficient and capable of continuing the learning process irrespective of social and contextual changes. SDL helps navigate our learning by fixing learning goals, identifying learning resources, and choosing appropriate strategies to achieve the goal. Considering the uncertainty in social and contextual conditions in the modern world, it is essential for every human being. The SDL skills prepare individuals to face real-life situations that require pragmatic solutions. This study presents a comprehensive Scientometric mapping of academic research done in SDL. The study extracted bibliographic records of 2056 articles on SDL from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Initially, study focused on the analysis of growth and forecast growth of publications and citation, followed by the trending topics, top contributing authors, organizations/institutions, countries, sources of publications and most influential articles have been identified. Moreover, study analysed the authorship collaboration and international collaboration pattern of the research publications on SDL. It is found that SDL research is increasing exponentially as an emerging topic, and a major amount of scholarly work is done in nursing and medical practices. The analysis also reveals that 69.36% of SDL-related research work has originated from China and USA. The understanding gained from the analysis will benefit young researchers, policymakers, educationists, and teachers to re-design the education practices for improved and quality education. The findings provide a robust understanding of the research hotspots on SDL and a roadmap for further research in this field.
