Children's fuzziness leads to increased variance in the data, data loss, and high dropout rates in developmental studies. This study investigated the importance of 20 factors on the person (child, caregiver, experimenter) and situation (task, method, time, and date) level for the data quality as indicated via the number of valid trials in 11…

This study systematically reviewed 46 studies on adolescent digital citizenship searched by November 2022 and synthesized that (a) the predictors of adolescents' levels of digital citizenship include demographic (e.g., gender and computer use experience), individual (e.g., social networking use and Internet skills) and psychological (e.g.,…

Purpose: This study aims to provide a qualitative framework for satisfactory sustainable education for international accounting students using a meta-synthetic approach. Design/methodology/approach: To determine the components and indicators of satisfactory sustainable education for international accounting students, a meta-synthesis allows for…

Developmental psychology focuses on how psychological constructs change with age. In cognitive development research, however, the specifics of this emergence is often underspecified. Researchers often provisionally assume linear growth by including chronological age as a predictor in regression models. In this work, we aim to evaluate this…

Beyond correlational studies exploring the benefits of nature exposure, there have been studies assessing interventions that aim to improve nature connection in children and adolescents. A feeling of connection with nature or 'nature connectedness' describes our attitude towards nature, primarily reflecting the emotional, cognitive, and…

This study presents a scoping review of factors influencing innovation-driven entrepreneurship among undergraduate students in private higher education institutions. Guided by the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and the PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines (Tricco et al., 2018), this review systematically synthesizes theoretical,…

Students involve themselves in learning activities multidimensionally, including behaviorally, cognitively, emotionally, and agentically. This multidimensional involvement predicts important outcomes, but it is also possible that each type of engagement might have its own specialized purpose or function. To investigate this possibility, we…

This study aimed to develop and validate the Metacognitions about Generative AI Use Scale (MGAUS) to assess college students' metacognitive beliefs about generative AI and to explore these metacognitions as predictors of generative AI addiction risk. A total of 1229 college students from China participated in the study, providing data through an…

Flipped classrooms (FCs) in K-12 schools are growing in popularity. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings on the effects of FCs, and the conditions under which FCs are effective remain unclear. This three-level meta-analysis synthesized the effects of FCs versus traditional classrooms (TCs) on various learning domains among…

Background Study: Gamification is an effective and interactive approach to engaging students in teaching and learning. As digital technology develops, higher education institutions (HEIs) must embrace and keep pace with gamification for interactive teaching and learning approaches. Objective: The purpose of this study is to review gamification in…

Policymakers and educators have increasingly focused on improving public understanding of climate change to prepare people to tackle its causes and impacts. Researchers have joined these efforts by assessing environmental literacy (EL) and climate change literacy (CCL) to inform policies and educational initiatives. This article systematically…

Given the many opportunities for technology use in education nowadays (e.g., Large language models, explainer videos, digital quizzing), teachers should know and rely on evidence-based answers to questions about when, how, and why technology-augmented instruction helps or hinders learning. To date, finding these answers requires integrating…

Math and executive functioning (EF) skills are thought to be tightly linked in early childhood. To facilitate our understanding of this link in early childhood, here we present a meta-analysis of over 1,000 different correlation values between EF and math measures in early childhood (4-6yrs). The overall average EF-Math relation was r = 0.350, 95%…

Maryland is experiencing a shortage of high-quality teachers, and teacher turnover is a major contributor to teacher shortages. This rapid evidence review explores how Maryland can address teacher shortages by using multiple evidence-based strategies to reduce teacher turnover and increase recruitment. Online databases for research on teacher…

A meta-analytic study was conducted of the "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology" to understand higher education instructors use of technology in teaching and learning. Through broad searches of the years 2003-2023, 117 records were identified for initial review. After reviewing the studies and removing those studies that…
