Even though many experimental studies have considered nurturing creativity as an essential advantage in implementing STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, [Arts], and Mathematics) education, there is currently a lack of meta-analysis research on the effect of STE(A)M education on creativity to confirm that STE(A)M education can improve…

This research examined the influence of the distance mode of teacher training on quality teacher performance at the pre-tertiary level of education in Ghana. The study used the quantitative approach involving 304 participants who completed teacher training through the distance education mode and taught at the Kindergarten, Primary School, Junior…

Building on past studies showing that mobile learning improves learning outcomes and differs within a domain (e.g., science), this meta-analysis models domain-specific differences (e.g., learning activities) that drive these differences in science performance. A systematic database search (i.e., Web of Science, JSTOR, ERIC, PsycINFO, ProQuest…

Research and theory indicate that the type and quality of instruction, not the delivery mechanism, are what impact learning. Previous reviews have not systematically explored variations in the instructional strategies, approaches, and designs of educational technology programs and also suffered from lax inclusion criteria, which has been known to…

Augmented reality (AR) is an immersive, interactive, and engaging advanced information technology and it is widely used in language learning. Although several studies have evaluated the effectiveness of AR in EFL learners' language gains, these research findings are inconsistent. Therefore, this study conducted a meta-analysis to analyze to what…

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…

Good coordination among school staff and families leads to increased learning quality and academic success for students with special education needs and disabilities (SEND). This pilot study aims to investigate the use of mobile technology for the coordination of therapy and learning for students with SEND. This study first follows a participatory…

This study recognized the importance and necessity of incorporating ICT in curriculum design and development in Singapore's private education context. A critical literature review was conducted to investigate the impacts of the ICT implementations at the institute, teacher teaching, and student learning levels with considerations in various…

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of COVID-19 a pandemic (World Health Organization, 2020), and the ongoing public health crisis affected all aspects of daily life worldwide. Policies to mitigate the spread of the virus prompted school closures nationwide, disrupting the learning of approximately 50.8 million…

With its focus on evidence-based instruction, the science of reading (SOR) is crucial to ensuring all students unlock strong literacy skills, the foundation for future success. This Spotlight will help readers get up to speed with the latest state initiatives; review a reading comprehension glossary highlighting the key components for success;…

In March 2020 one hundred and twenty-two billion in federal funding delivered through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act was intended to mitigate the harm caused by school closures during the pandemic and ensure the appropriate re-opening of schools across America to get students "back on track." Since July 2021, AASA, The School…

Gender disparities in STEM fields emerge starting in the fourth grade, when girls are less likely than boys to express interest in STEM fields. Outreach events targeted to girls during this crucial developmental period can foster a sense of belonging in STEM. Women+ Excelling More in Math, Engineering, and the Sciences (F.E.M.M.E.S.) is a…

Amid the imperative call for using digital artwork images and e-learning activities in planning and delivering the art curriculum heightened by rapid technological development and COVID-19, we propose a visual arts teacher-curator pedagogy and investigate its effectiveness in Hong Kong's primary and secondary schools. The pedagogy is set out to…

The lack of innovative implementation of digital learning media presents obstacles to accessing course materials, leading to unequal learning opportunities among students and, subsequently, lower graduate competencies. This study aimed to review the research studies on the effects of implementing digital learning media in various formats and its…

Teachers have perceived technology professional development (tech-PD) as ineffective, particularly when it does not address individual needs. Researchers need to examine how tech-PD experiences are planned, implemented, and evaluated. Typically K-12 technology leaders (e.g., technology coaches) are responsible for planning, implementing, and…
