Wahyu Dilla Abdullah; Adilah Afikah; Ezi Apino; Supahar Supahar; Jumadi Jumadi – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
The use of mobile technology in physics education has become more prevalent, but more data about its effect on student academic performance needs to be collected. This meta-analysis examines the effects of mobile learning on student achievement in physics and any moderating factors. The study collected 36 primary studies from various scientific…

Odom, Sara; Boso, Halle; Bowling, Scott; Brownell, Sara; Cotner, Sehoya; Creech, Catherine; Drake, Abby Grace; Eddy, Sarah; Fagbodun, Sheritta; Hebert, Sadie; James, Avis C.; Just, Jan; St. Juliana, Justin R.; Shuster, Michele; Thompson, Seth K.; Whittington, Richard; Wills, Bill D.; Wilson, Alan E.; Zamudio, Kelly R.; Zhong, Min; Ballen, Cissy J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
To investigate patterns of gender-based performance gaps, we conducted a meta-analysis of published studies and unpublished data collected across 169 undergraduate biology and chemistry courses. While we did not detect an overall gender gap in performance, heterogeneity analyses suggested further analysis was warranted, so we investigated whether…

Yun, Eunjeong – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
For both physicists who teach students in university and physics educators, how physics should be taught is a vital question. This study reviewed the trends of research in the field of physics education to identify the status of physics education research and help researchers in future studies. 2,959 articles were collected from the American…

Ma, Xin – Comparative Education Review, 2008
Gender gaps in academic achievement have long captured the attention of educational researchers. Although studies from laboratory experiments have reported relatively consistent gender differences in cognitive skills over the decades, investigations done in schools have uncovered dramatic changes. In the United States, educational studies from the…

Wang, Jianjun; Oliver, J. Steve; Staver, John R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2008
Science achievement and self-concept are articulated in this study to examine a model of reciprocal relationship during a crosscultural transition. Trend data have been gathered to assess changes of the perceived English importance before and after Hong Kong's sovereignty handover from Britain to China. The data analyses were conducted four times…

Petersen, Nancy S. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2008
This article discusses the five studies included in this issue. Each article addressed the same topic, population invariance of equating. They all used data from major standardized testing programs, and they all used essentially the same statistics to evaluate their results, namely, the root mean square difference and root expected mean square…
