This research aims to examine recent studies on the dimensions necessary for developing mathematical modelling instruction and established frameworks used in teaching mathematical modelling. The study followed the steps outlined as such: identification, screening, eligibility, inclusion, and data analysis throughout three search engines: ERIC,…

As education shifts into the digital age, technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), plays an increasingly vital role in improving teaching and learning. This metaanalysis investigates how AI impacts the development of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) skills among pre-service teachers. By reviewing data from…

Meta-analyses and structured reviews provide a synthesis of the results of multiple studies, thus offering unique contributions to informing practice and advancing science in the field of school psychology. High-quality meta-analyses and structured reviews include a review and summary of the extant studies and highlight clear directions for future…

Almost fifty years ago, Barrows (1986) claimed that problem-based learning (PBL) was broad enough that a single methodological description was not possible. It has only grown more complex since. In addition to meaningful variations of PBL, there are several related problem-centered pedagogies, such as case-based learning, project-based learning,…

Although the literature underscores the importance of teacher educators' roles in technology leadership, there remains a need to clearly define this concept within teacher education and to understand the attributes and practices that enable teacher educators to act as technology leaders, as well as the factors influencing their leadership in…

Meta-analyses are systematic summaries of research that use quantitative methods to find the mean effect size (standardized mean difference) for interventions. Critics of meta-analysis point out that such analyses can conflate the results of low- and high-quality studies, make improper comparisons and result in statistical noise. All these…

Background: Despite the growing need for language and communication assessments in both languages for bilingual children, there remains a shortage of bilingual speech and language therapists (SLTs). Teleassessment has emerged as a promising solution to address this gap, but there is a pressing need for a comprehensive understanding of its…

This methodological guidance article discusses the elements of a high-quality meta-analysis that is conducted within the context of a systematic review. Meta-analysis, a set of statistical techniques for synthesizing the results of multiple studies, is used when the guiding research question focuses on a quantitative summary of study results. In…

Background/purpose: There is increasing interest in incorporating maker culture into primary and secondary education to foster student competencies beyond academic achievement and prepare students for 21st-century challenges. This systematic literature review examines the implementation of maker education in formal educational contexts, focusing…

Engineering Education is rapidly evolving as a discipline. This has given rise to a number of challenges that could potentially limit future developments. More established disciplines have previously encountered similar challenges and have developed a set of practices and structures that can broadly be referred to as 'Open Science' in order to…

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the best approaches to teaching a foreign language to older people to help them achieve the desired results and explore their benefits. This review strictly follows the PRISMA methodology for systematic reviews and meta-analyses to identify the core experimental studies that deal with the topic of…

Meta-analyses on the effect of peer tutoring have rarely examined the effect of peer tutoring on tutors' academic gain. Some previous analyses are dated and have methodological or theoretical limitations. Hence, there is a compelling need to fill this gap by conducting an updated and comprehensive meta-analysis for identifying certain determinants…

Nowadays, hardly anyone working in the field of foreign language teaching and learning can imagine life without machine translation (MT) tools. Thanks to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, MT now most widely assumes a new form, the so-called Neural Machine Translation (NMT), which offers the potential for a wide application in…

Ongoing debate exists concerning pedagogical strategies including song to improve vocabulary learning in second or foreign language learners. A search of primary empirical studies published from 1990 to 2020 produced 27 articles with 28 studies and 1864 total participants. Effect sizes were analysed for the influence of English instructional…

Lesson Study is a Japanese approach to teacher development borrowed by American researchers in the late 1990s seeking to break from top-down, "best practice" approaches. Two decades later, Lesson Study has gained a strong foothold in American policy circles. Seeking to contribute to the growing research base, this article looks deeper…
