The relationship between self-concept and academic achievement that is commonly cited has primarily been found in studies of students from Western countries with individualistic societies. Thus, this relationship may not be evident among students from non-Western countries, which are thought to largely adopt collectivist cultural values and…

Systematic reviews are vital for guiding practice, research and policy, although they are often slow and labour-intensive. Large language models (LLMs) could speed up and automate systematic reviews, but their performance in such tasks has yet to be comprehensively evaluated against humans, and no study has tested Generative Pre-Trained…

This study synthesized the research on listening instruction (LI) and its effectiveness on L2 learners' listening competence development based on studies published from 1980 to 2019. After a literature search, well-designed studies that involved not only experimental or quasi-experimental and control groups but also pretests and posttests were…

Representation plays an important role in helping students understand chemistry learning. This is due to the many chemical concepts that require visualization. Representation is something that still needs to be studied. So this study aims to see the development of representation research in chemistry education. The articles used in this study are…

Literature screening is the process of identifying all relevant records from a pool of candidate paper records in systematic review, meta-analysis, and other research synthesis tasks. This process is time consuming, expensive, and prone to human error. Screening prioritization methods attempt to help reviewers identify most relevant records while…

Grounded in Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, Dynamic Assessment (DA) can provide fine-tuned information regarding learners' development and opportunities to promote further development. Vocabulary knowledge, because of its complex nature, requires a more sensitive assessment, especially for second language (L2) learners. This systematic literature…

This book seeks to disrupt the narrative about the process of academic writing and the written products which are currently valued in the university by juxtaposing the messiness and deletions of the writing process with the hegemonic imaginary of what research writing "should" look like. The author uses writing as both a subject and a…

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine prior research that compared the differences between the academic performance of students who undertook online homework as against those that undertook traditional pen and pencil homework. Eighteen experimental and quasi-experimental studies met inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Eleven found…

Given the potential for significant changes brought about by chatbots, it is necessary to clarify the mechanisms, relevant research, practical applications, and future development of chatbots in education, while making adequate preparations for their limitations and challenges. However, there are currently few studies that systematically review…

Dynamic consent is increasingly recommended for longitudinal and biobanking research; however, the value of investing in such systems is unclear. We undertook a rapid review of the benefits and challenges of implementing dynamic consent by searching five databases (Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and…

The adoption of the maker-centered method is gaining popularity in K-12 school curricula. However, a unified consensus on its effectiveness in enhancing K-12 students' learning outcomes remains elusive. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to synthesize the findings on the overall effects of the maker-centered learning method on K-12…

Flow is an optimal experience that has received particular attention in learning due to its potential association with enhanced learning achievement. However, the strength and direction of the putative flow-fulfillment relationship remain unclear. Therefore, a PRISMA-directed systematic review was conducted in 2022 to examine the empirical…

The ability to think mathematically critically is essential in learning as it helps students to think rationally in making decisions and formulating conclusions, as well as choosing the best option for themselves. In fact, PISA results in 2022 and TIMSS results in 2015 show that students' critical thinking skills are not optimum. Therefore, the…

This research involves a content analysis of studies on modern physics education conducted in Turkey between 2000 and 2023. In this context, 273 studies accessed in full text from different databases were examined. The studies were evaluated using the "Modern Physics Education Publication Classification Form" and analyzed using the…

This review examines the extant Australian literature on process quality in ECEC, which is understood as children's actual experience within a childcare setting such as interactions between educators and children. A thematic analysis of empirical evidence from the 21 qualified articles reveals key characteristics of ECEC process quality studies,…
