Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) is a broad and multifarious area of study that spans across various academic fields. Due to the high numbers of studies in this field, it seems too challenging to analyze all of them in depth in a single study. Additionally, there is a lack of research that provides a comprehensive overview of the main…

Given that social media and the internet are primary sources of information for parents seeking guidance on child development, it is vital to investigate how screen time research is communicated and propagated online. This study examines 136 online articles about screen time published between 2016 and 2021, analyzing how sensationalism and…

Cognitive maps are mental representations of space essential for guiding spatial behavior. To assess the properties of these cognitive maps, sketch mapping has been widely used as a research tool in spatial cognition research. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the methodologies and the cognitive processes concerning…

This scope-review presents the milestones of how Hierarchical Rater Models (HRMs) become operable to used in automated essay scoring (AES) to improve instructional evaluation. Although essay evaluations--a useful instrument for evaluating higher-order cognitive abilities--have always depended on human raters, concerns regarding rater bias,…

Digital technologies allow student self-assessment to be adaptive, scalable and multimodal. Despite such technological advances, digital self-assessment practices have largely reinforced the existing norms around student roles, leaving the fundamentals of self-assessment design untouched. Digital self-assessment has centred on learning outcomes…

Based on an analysis of 36 peer-reviewed publications from academic databases, including ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, this review article provides an in-depth examination of the current trends, challenges, and future implications of metaverse-based learning in education. To ascertain the quality and applicability of the papers…

Research into the use of virtual reality (VR) for educational purposes is increasing, but most of the existing literature focuses on the positive effects of VR on users, with its possible negative effects remaining underexplored. An inadequate understanding of the negative effects can put users at risk. To address this research gap, the main…

Background: Several studies have reported low adherence to World Health Organization sedentary behavior (SB) guidelines in the early years. The purpose of this review is to examine the associations between time spent in different types of SB (screen time and habitual SB) and motor competence (MC; fundamental motor skills, fine and gross motor…

Currently, advancements in science and technology have a significant impact on various aspects of human life, particularly in the field of education. In this context, augmented reality plays a crucial role in enhancing both learning and teaching experiences. This study presents the findings of a bibliometric analysis on published articles related…

Technological advancements have popularized "gamification" in recent years, yet few studies have explored its connection to the technology acceptance model (TAM). This paper aims to enhance understanding of the relationship between gamification and TAM by systematically reviewing current research trends. Employing a systematic literature…

With growing research attention in artificial intelligence in education (AIED), there is a profusion of systematic reviews that have investigated AI integration in a wide variety of educational contexts, including PreK-12 schools and higher education. Even though existing systematic reviews have explored effects of AI on education, few studies…

Despite growing research interest in digital multimodal composing (DMC) in L2 contexts, its developmental trajectory remains largely underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted a scientometric review using CiteSpace on 128 publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. Our analysis reveals a rapid growth in DMC research over the…

There are long-held concerns regarding the impact of screen media on children's cognitive development. In particular, fast pace and fantastical events have been theorized to deplete children's cognitive resources, leading to reductions in their attention and executive functions (EF). To date, however, empirical tests of short-term effects of media…

Educational applications of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) for English language learning have become increasingly prevalent in K-12 classroom contexts. These tools have enormous potential to provide unique learning experiences and increase students' engagement; however, the benefits depend on appropriate implementation and use.…

In the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an important element of human experience. Its application in English-language education should enhance students' linguistic abilities. However, there is a scarcity of research on the anxiety and demotivation in them that occurs from incorporating AI in teaching and learning English on…
