Dengkang Chen; Yi Zhang; Heng Luo; Zhifang Zhu; Jingsi Ma; Yuru Lin – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2024
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…

Nejati, Vahid; Zavarei, Batool – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2023
Executive functions (EFs) play a crucial role in academic performance. In the present study, we aimed to improve EFs through a group-based cognitive training. Thirty-three typically developing children (age mean: 58.80 ± 7.04 months) were recruited in a random clinical trial design in two intervention (n = 18) and active control (n = 15) groups.…

Meredith Pecukonis; Meryem Yücel; Henry Lee; Cory Knox; David A. Boas; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Developmental Science, 2025
Previous research suggests that book reading and screen time have contrasting effects on language and brain development. However, few studies have explicitly investigated whether children's brains function differently during these two activities. The present study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain response in 28…

Jingyuan Chen; Hongfeng Liu – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2024
This meta-analysis examines the influence of smart classrooms on students' learning outcome, synthesizing findings from 21 empirical studies. The results indicate a significant overall effect size (SMD = 1.10), suggesting that smart classrooms positively affect learning outcomes more than traditional settings. Cognitive development (SMD = 1.014)…

Efsun Birtwistle; Olga Chernikova; Miriam Wünsch; Frank Niklas – SAGE Open, 2025
We investigated the effect of cognitive training of executive functions on children's cognitive outcomes. To address this issue, a systematic meta-analysis of published research articles on cognitive training interventions was performed considering children's age, training duration, -procedure, and -technology in moderator analyses. The results (N…

Tessa Consoli; Maria-Luisa Schmitz; Chiara Antonietti; Philipp Gonon; Alberto Cattaneo; Dominik Petko – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Despite extensive research on technology's potential to enhance teaching, large-scale studies often report mixed or negative impacts of technology use at school on student learning achievements. This ambiguity is often attributed to previous large-scale studies focusing more on the frequency rather than the quality of technology integration in the…

Wiest, Dudley J.; Wong, Eugene H.; Bacon, Jennifer M.; Rosales, Kevin P.; Wiest, Grahamm M. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Working memory (WM) is a significant predictor of academic performance. Emerging empirical evidence has shown that WM can be improved via computerized cognitive training (CCT). Though studies have shown that CCT can improve WM in typical and atypical populations, little is known regarding the efficacy of implementing CCT within a school setting.…

Rene Schmidt; Britta Stumpe – Review of Education, 2025
Augmented reality (AR) as a mobile educational technology enables self-directed and interactive learning by anchoring multimedia-enhanced three-dimensional (3D) content at selected locations. Numerous systematic and meta-reviews for education, specifically for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), have demonstrated a wide range…

Wong, Patrick C. M.; Ou, Jinghua; Pang, Celestina W. Y.; Zhang, Ling; Tse, Chi Shing; Lam, Linda C. W.; Antoniou, Mark – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: We report a preliminary study that prospectively tests the potential cognitive enhancing effect of foreign language (FL) learning in older adults with no clear signs of cognitive decline beyond what is age typical. Because language learning engages a large brain network that overlaps with the network of cognitive aging, we hypothesized…

Tsikinas, Stavros; Xinogalos, Stelios – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
This study examines the available literature on the effects of serious games on people with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder. The studies were categorized based on the limitations in skills that these people address. Fifty-four studies were selected, from different data sources. These studies address limitations in…

Daoud, Rana; Starkey, Louise; Eppel, Elizabeth; Vo, Tho Doan; Sylvester, Allan – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2021
This article presents a systematic review of literature that explores the educational value of the Internet in the home for school aged children. Research published between 2008 and 2018 was examined and 67 items were analyzed. A range of positive, negative and neutral correlations or outcomes of home Internet use were identified across the three…

Jagušt, T.; Boticki, I.; So, H. -J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
This study reviews empirical research articles published in the field of technology-enhanced learning in the out-of-class contexts in primary schools between the years 2007 and 2016 and explores how the body of research has connected formal and informal learning experiences, referred to in the paper as bridging the gap. The review focuses on 43…

Kuisma, Merja; Nokelainen, Petri – Frontline Learning Research, 2018
Adolescents need skills to acquire information and compare, analyze, transform, and experiment with knowledge. However, little research has been conducted on the content and pedagogical practices that are necessary to achieve these skills. This article seeks to contribute to this discussion because geography enables the attainment of the so-called…

Kosmas, Panagiotis; Ioannou, Andri; Zaphiris, Panayiotis – Educational Media International, 2019
The relationship among bodily movements, cognitive abilities, and academic achievement in children is receiving considerable attention in the research community. The embodied learning approach is based on the idea of an inseparable link between body and mind in learning, aiming for teaching methods that promote children's active engagement in the…

Weng, Pei-Lin; Maeda, Yukiko; Bouck, Emily C. – Remedial and Special Education, 2014
Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) for students with disabilities can be categorized into the following categories: visual, auditory, mobile, and cognitive skills-based CAI. Cognitive-skills based CAI differs from other types of CAI largely in terms of an emphasis on instructional design features. We conducted both systematic review of…
