Immersive technologies are assumed to have many benefits for learning due to their potential positive impact on optimizing learners' cognitive load and fostering intrinsic motivation. However, despite promising results, the findings regarding the actual impact on learning remain inconclusive, raising questions about the determinants of efficacy.…

Attention is crucial for learners to enhance their learning and build knowledge. Sustaining prolonged attention requires students to self-regulate their behavioral, emotional, and cognitive processes. At the same time, learners engage in mind wandering approximately 30% of the time spent in educational activities, leading to a deterioration in…

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…

This paper presents a scoping review of the literature on educational neurotechnology, examining its types, methods, applications, opportunities and challenges. A total of 4236 articles were identified from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science and ERIC, with 471 peer-reviewed studies selected and analysed following PRISMA guidelines and…

Background: Cognitive load during AR use has been measured conventionally by performance tests and subjective rating. With the growing interest in physiological measurement using non-invasive biometric sensors, unbiased real-time detection of cognitive load in AR is expected. However, a range of sensors and parameters are used in various subject…

Background: Previous studies on augmented reality-enriched learning and training indicated conflicting results regarding the cognitive load involved: some authors report that AR can reduce cognitive load, others have shown that AR is perceived as cognitively demanding and can lead to poorer performance. Objectives: The aim of this study is to…

Recent studies are increasingly using brain-imaging techniques in the technology-enhanced learning (TEL) context to understand students' cognitive processes during technology-assisted learning, with the ultimate goal to improve students' outcomes in these environments. Given the importance of the promising impact of brain-imaging techniques in the…

With its immersive, interactive, and creative capabilities, virtual reality (VR) has been widely used in educational settings to provide students with challenging real-world experiences. As a result, interest in its effectiveness has grown. The goal of this meta-analysis is to examine how VR technology affects students' motivation to study. A…

A common theme in the literature on learning technologies is the way in which they can facilitate engagement both within and outside of the classroom. However, a lack of a scholarly consensus on what constitutes engagement renders problematic the issue of how one makes meaningful sense of the data presented in studies. This paper presents an…

This meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of problem-posing interventions on learners' cognitive learning outcomes. We systematically reviewed 26 quantitative studies published between 2002 and 2024. The results show a large, positive, and significant effect (Hedges's [g-bar] = 0.53) of problem-posing interventions. A series of subgroup…

Increased attention is arising on the delivery of remote cognitive interventions, which allow performing exercises in everyday settings, favouring rehabilitation continuity. The present study offers an overview of remote cognitive training programs for children with congenital brain malformation or genetic syndrome affecting the central nervous…

Self-regulated learning interventions influence students' learning outcomes in online and blended environments. A review of the literature about self-regulated learning strategies reveals both significant and non-significant effects on learning outcomes in online and blended environments. The aim of this study was to calculate the common effect…

Concept maps have been used widely in various subjects of K-12 and higher education for diverse purposes. Digital concept maps (DCM) provide even more benefits, such as higher efficiency, expanded canvas, and multimedia integration. The present paper sought to analyze the research and application trends and issues in DCM research and practices…

Deeper learning (DL) is firmly rooted in learning science and computer science. However, a dearth of review studies has probed its trajectory in DL in foreign languages (DLFL). Utilizing SSCI from the Web of Science Core Collection, we employ Citespace and Vosviewer to analyze the scientific knowledge graph of DLFL literature. Our analysis…

The infusion and diffusion of the interactive whiteboard (IWB) has attracted considerable interest in educational contexts over the past years. However, research to date has been controversial with regard to the effectiveness of IWB-based instruction on cognitive learning outcomes. This study identified empirical publications that examine…
