Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has emerged as a significant research topic in recent times, particularly in the context of K-12 education. While numerous systematic literature reviews have focused on students as participants, there is a notable gap in reviews that concentrate on the educators who adopt DGBL in their classrooms. This study aims…

This paper explores the management and outcomes of a specific model of intergenerational learning, concerned with student digital leader support in a number of secondary schools in England. A local educational partnership set up a student digital leader project late in 2011, which aimed to develop a range of skills and outcomes for both the…

This study determined the effectiveness of a group training procedure in improving performance of intellectually average students on the Raven Learning Potential measure, and examined the differential effectiveness of training by race and social class. The sample of 379 second through fifth graders, half of whom were black, were pretested on…

A learning strategy system and a set of training procedures to facilitate the communication of this system to college-age students were developed.
