Understanding part-whole relations is crucial in early mathematics education. However, both analogue and digital learning environments often lack systematic approaches to foster part-whole understanding. With the rising popularity of educational apps, it is essential to evaluate how they implement learning of part-whole relations. Accordingly,…

Laboratories are considered to play a unique role in circuits teaching. Laboratories can be traditional, with physical components and desks, or virtual with graphical simulators. Applying these facilities in teaching, students can make experiments or measurements by exploring electric circuits' features. However, an intriguing research question is…

Research on technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) has been rapidly growing since 2000, of which the attention is mostly on the statistically significant positive results. However, learning from TELL with null and negative results (NNR), especially its features and reasons, can develop knowledge and awareness of the nature and limitations of…

Supporting learners' self-regulated learning (SRL) processes and skills is crucial for effective learning, especially in online learning environments. In recent years, research on SRL and how it can be supported by technology has proliferated, resulting in many systematic reviews. The aims of this umbrella review are to provide orientation in a…

This bibliometric analysis explores the evolution of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) research spanning from 1979 to 2023. The study meticulously examines various metrics of CALL research across the past four decades, focusing on geographical and institutional productivity, citation impact, and the thematic co-occurrence of keywords.…

Digital ecosystems are a set of interconnected elements that enable an integrated and seamless digital experience. In education, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has great potential to improve teaching and learning. However, for the expectations placed on the educational use of AI to be met, it is necessary to develop adequate digital…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical readiness of simulation-based education (SBE) in preparing nursing and midwifery students for clinical practice in sub-Saharan Africa. This study has synthesised the findings from existing research studies and provides an overview of the current state of SBE in nursing and midwifery…

Group awareness (GA) is essential for computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), as it informs learners about other group members' activities, knowledge, and emotions. A key advantage of GA support is that it can collect, process, and visualize GA information, which provides a basis for students' reflection and adjustment during…

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…

Learners' emotional engagement in synchronous online learning (SOL) is critical for improving learning persistence and performance. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and systematic reviews of emotional engagement in SOL. This review synthesizes the strategies to promote emotional engagement in SOL found in published…

This systematic review investigates learner use of audio/video playback (AVP) controls in technology-enhanced listening environments. To this aim, 61 academic works produced from 2000-2021 underwent inclusion/exclusion criteria and were analyzed. The resulting corpus was made up of 16 peer-reviewed articles. We first situate the studies examined…

Although the Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) practice has a trend in its application, limited information exists in the literature on CSCL studies with Problem/Project-Based Learning in Computer Education. Therefore, this study reviewed 37 Social Science Citation Indexed (SSCI) articles on Problem/Project-Based CSCL practice in…

This study presents a scoping review of research on artificial intelligence (AI)- driven virtual patients (VPs) for communication skills training of healthcare students. We aimed to establish what is known about these emergent learning tools, to characterise their design and implementation into training programmes. The preferred reporting items…

This study aimed to investigate research trends regarding the use of GeoGebra in educational research through bibliometric analysis. 301 articles published in the Web of Science database between 2009 and 2023 were included in the research. Web of Science database and VOSviewer program were used during bibliometric analysis. Performance analysis…

Phonemic awareness is a key building block for later reading and spelling development. Students at risk for reading difficulties may have difficulties with phonemic awareness and need additional instruction or intervention to develop these skills. This column discusses evidence-based phonemic awareness instruction and the implementation of…
