“…In developing and evaluating the PSSI through an extensive process of student engagement, Linden et al noted that their tool saw markedly stronger psychometric properties compared to similar tool's previously developed without involving students. The ISPOR Patient-Reported Outcomes Good Research Practices Task Force Report highlights the critical contribution that end-user engagement makes to the content validity argument of an instrument and its quantitative psychometric properties ( 72 , 73 ). In line with this literature, HEARTSMAP-U's adaptation was closely informed by students, content experts of their own lived experiences and the collective experience of being a post-secondary student.…”

HEARTSMAP-U: Adapting a Psychosocial Self-Screening and Resource Navigation Support Tool for Use by Post-secondary Students

BackgroundMental health challenges are highly prevalent in the post-secondary educational setting. Screening instruments have been shown to improve early detection and intervention. However, these tools often focus on specific diagnosable conditions, are not always designed with students in mind, and lack resource navigational support.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the adaptation of existing psychosocial assessment (HEARTSMAP) tools into a version that is fit-for-purpose for post-secondary students, called HEARTSMAP-U.MethodsWe underwent a three-phase, multi-method tool adaptation process. First, a diverse study team proposed a preliminary version of HEARTSMAP-U and its conceptual framework. Second, we conducted a cross-sectional expert review study with Canadian mental health professionals (N = 28), to evaluate the clinical validity of tool content. Third, we conducted an iterative series of six focus groups with diverse post-secondary students (N = 54), to refine tool content and language, and ensure comprehensibility and relevance to end-users.ResultsThe adaptation process resulted in the HEARTSMAP-U self-assessment and resource navigational support tool, which evaluates psychosocial challenges across 10 sections. In Phase two, clinician experts expressed that HEARTSMAP-U's content aligned with their own professional experiences working with students. In Phase three, students identified multiple opportunities to improve the tool's end-user relevance by calling for more “common language,” such as including examples, definitions, and avoiding technical jargon.ConclusionsThe HEARTSMAP-U tool is well-positioned for further studies of its quantitative psychometric properties and clinical utility in the post-secondary educational setting.

“…Firstly, the initial interview protocol was reviewed and revised based on expert comments and suggestions. Thus, content validity is predetermined (Brod, Pohlman & Tesler Waldman 2014). Secondly, the two leading researchers involved in the coding process met regularly to discuss differences in coding results and to reach a consensus (De Raadt et al 2021).…”

What and how to teach religious moderation at the undergraduate level still concerns academics. This study aims to explore the perceptions of lecturers and students about the objectives, content, and strategies used in learning religious moderation. This study uses a multiple-case exploratory design with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with eight lecturers and 15 students from public and Islamic universities in Indonesia. Data analysis in this study used conventional content analysis methods with an inductive coding process. The first two authors analysed data, and their agreement was calculated using Cohen’s kappa of 0.90. As a result, participants said that the ultimate goal of learning moderation in religion is to teach students about aligning views on religion and non-religion. The content that needs to be taught early and as a firm root of religious moderation is the internal harmony of religious communities. Finally, the development of campus culture can be an alternative model to internalise the values of religious moderation.Contribution: Overall, this research helps us to understand what kind of religious moderation learning we want to introduce in Indonesian universities.

“…In this article, we construct and present a theoretical mapping sentence that we believe represents the content of the marketing higher education to students, for the goal of demonstrating the DMS is the exemplary demonstration in the current article as this issue includes, inter alia , subjective experience and perceptions of the prospective students which better fit the qualitative research approach, both phenomenologically and epistemologically; qualitative research explores phenomena that are difficult to quantify by measurement or mathematics (e.g., beliefs, experiences, and knowledge) ( Brod et al, 2014 ).…”

“…These experts are, for example, marketing managers, academic program managers, student services administration, researchers in higher education and education management, and others. These experts are tasked with (1) making judgment to the degree to which each individual element in the MS is relevant and content-valid to the framework of the MS itself (i.e., marketing higher education to students) and (2) evaluating the MS in its entirety, as a whole entity (see Brod et al, 2014 ; Hinton and Platt, 2018 ). These methods are reactive in essence, and as such, we also suggest a more proactive approach to establishing content validity in this regard.…”

The aim of this article was to open a hatch to the consumer psychology research through the eyes of Facet Theory. The Facet Theory enables to delve into a concept or an issue under investigation and define it formally, systematically, and comprehensively, but still parsimoniously. In order to better explain its philosophical basis and the principles of this theory, we apply and demonstrate it on the domain of marketing of higher education to students. There are four distinct facets identified in this regard, namely, (A) Achieving Personal Goals, (B) Institution’s Marketing Orientation, (C) Secondary Decision Criteria, and (D) Level of Education. Based on those facets and their related respective elements, a suggested definitional directive for the marketing of higher education to students is construed.
