This systematic review sheds light on the role of ontologies in predicting achievement among online learners, in order to promote their academic success. In particular, it looks at the available literature on predicting online learners' performance through ontological machine-learning techniques and, using a systematic approach, identifies the…

This scoping review examines the landscape of educational evaluation research in Asia over the past decade, uncovering the methodologies, themes, and unique regional challenges within this domain. By delving into 62 articles from evaluation-centric journals, the study reveals a predominant focus on learning, teaching, and assessment, highlighting…

This article explores underlying mechanisms triggering a change in conceptualization of innovation in the European Union (EU), the impact of this change on institutional demands upon European universities and implications for evaluation procedures. We mobilize the theoretical concept of critical junctures to explore significant periods that have…

This study aimed to carry out a meta-evaluation of the curriculum evaluation research studies conducted in K12 schooling levels between 2004 and 2022 in Turkey based on the Joint Committee's standards for educational evaluation to present an overview of the evaluation studies and enhance understanding of evaluation. Through a systematic review, 42…

In Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis, the use of weakly informative prior distributions is of particular benefit in cases where only a few studies are included, a situation often encountered in health technology assessment (HTA). Suggestions for empirical prior distributions are available in the literature but it is unknown whether these are…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is increasingly recognized as a critical topic in today's educational landscape. This is because contemporary education outcomes need to equip students for the demands of 21st-century jobs. In this context, the role and strategic actions of school principals emerge as critical…

Authentic assessment is widely recognized as a valuable method that reflects real-world contexts, allowing students to apply their knowledge to practical challenges and prepare for their futures. Despite the pervasive influence of digital technologies in modern work and life, their role in authentic assessment--an approach centered on real-world…

Learning outcomes and assessment frameworks guide educators in curricular decisionmaking, impact assessment, gap identification, and equity evaluation, aligning with anticipated learning objectives. Common frameworks include Bloom's taxonomy, Kirkpatrick's model, Fink's taxonomy, and Moore's Outcomes model. The authors identified a lack of focus…

Teachers need technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) for teaching with technology, and its assessment is crucial for research and practice. Previous literature reviews on TPACK assessment were not specific to a content area (e.g., mathematics), although, by definition, the TPACK framework includes content-specific knowledge facets.…

We analysed the full text of all journal articles returned to the education subpanel of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF2021). Using a latent Dirichlet allocation topic model, we identified 35 topics that collectively summarise the journal articles that research units, typically schools of education, selected for submission. We found…

This document reports on the methodology used to approach a series of six evidence reviews on the best practices in the identification, support, and collaborative practices of children and young people with SEND aged 0-25 available to teachers and early year practitioners working in mainstream education in England. These reviews were commissioned…

This rapid review explores how early years practitioners and settings can better support children with stammering, speech and language needs, and promote strong communication development across universal and targeted support levels. Three core areas were examined: (1) identification and assessment; (2) support and intervention; and (3) working…

Online and Blended Learning (OBL) is well-known for its capacity to lower accessibility and flexibility barriers to traditional education. In the past two decades, this mode of learning has had far-reaching and long-lasting consequences in the realm of education. COVID-19 has made online and blended learning especially important solutions in the…

This literature review provides an overview of the various modern approaches in talent programs for the context of schools and sports reported in scientific journals (2009-2019) and presents their similarities and differences and options for cross-pollination between contexts. This is a first attempt to overarch contexts regarding talent…

The aim of the article is to analyse subdisciplines of management and quality and sub-indicators of the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) as a measure of innovation management: 1.1.1 "New doctorate graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) per 1,000 population aged 25-34," 1.2.1 "International…
