Single-case research design is a useful methodology to investigate counseling treatment effects through a time-series graph. A systematic review of 42 counseling journals was conducted, yielding 50 studies, including 272 graphs. Most graphs did not meet recommended guidelines. How graphs impact visual analysis and suggestions to enhance…

It has been over 60 years since interpreter and translator trainers began to generate and disseminate knowledge in the 1950s. Although there have been reviews of 10 to 15 years of research, no attempts have been made to review the literature published over the past six decades for an overall landscape of knowledge creation in T&I education.…

Optimizing collaborative behavior is crucial in educational activities, directly improving academic performance, social skills, and social-emotional learning for both teachers and students. In an effort to decipher the mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of collaborative learning, educators and neuroscientists have initiated the collection and…

In the realm of education, there has been an increasing emphasis on developing analytical thinking (AT) in the past few years. This systematic review focuses on an analysis of journal publications that have explored AT within the context of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. This analysis investigated four primary…

Social withdrawal has been a topic of interest in the field of developmental psychology for many decades. However, researchers have yet to systematically examine the historical trends in social withdrawal research. To honor the 70th anniversary of "Merrill-Palmer Quarterly," this systematic scoping review maps the changes in social…

Students' active role is heavily emphasised in contemporary assessment research, policies and practices. Even then, students remain the objects of assessment in an era defined by accountability measures, testing and measurement: students are rarely heard on why, how and when assessment is conducted. In this way, assessment may hinder educational…

Research examining relations between language skills and social competence has yielded mixed findings. Three meta-analyses investigated links between language skills (overall, receptive, and expressive) and social competence in 2- to 12-year-old children. Data from 130 studies representing 62,120 children (M age at language assessment = 4.70…

Pre-registration refers to the practice of researchers preparing a time-stamped document describing the plans for a study. This open research tool is used to improve transparency, so that readers can evaluate the extent to which the researcher adhered to their original plans and tested their theory appropriately. In the current study, we conducted…

Mathematical representation is one of the skills that students need to master because it can help them in various problem-solving tasks. This research is a literature review of articles related to mathematical representation in mathematics education. The articles are those published in journals indexed by Scopus from 2020 to 2024. The results of…

Researchers have studied the efficacy of motivational interviewing over the past 30 years. While it is recognized as a highly effective approach overall, variability in outcomes studies is largely attributed to the extent to which it is implemented with fidelity. MI applications in school have become increasingly popular in the past 10 years, yet…

This systematic review examines how preservice teachers' (PSTs) domain-specific epistemological beliefs (EB) are studied and understood within initial teacher education (ITE) with attention to theoretical, contextual, and methodological aspects. Findings from 24 empirical studies published up to 2024 were synthesized. The review analyzed…

Introduction: Missing data are bound to occur in education intervention research. Reasons vary but always have the consequence of reducing sample sizes and can, under certain conditions, seriously bias estimated intervention effects. A wide array of methods have been developed for handling missing data (Enders, 2023). Whereas older approaches…

Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) may offer a reliable and internally valid way to evaluate technology-enhanced learning (TEL). A systematic review was conducted to provide an overview of what, why and how SCEDs are used to evaluate TEL. Accordingly, 136 studies from nine databases fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included. The…

Differences in effect sizes between researcher developed (RD) and independently developed (ID) outcome measures are widely documented but poorly understood in education research. We conduct a meta-analysis using item-level outcome data to test potential mechanisms that explain differences in effects by RD or ID outcome type. Our analysis of 45…

Purpose: In the evolving landscape of the 21st century, characterized by dynamic global challenges such as health crises, climate change, and rapid technological advancements, the imperative of lifelong learning has become more pronounced than ever. Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) plays a pivotal role in lifelong learning, involving independent,…
