Researchers have been examining educational resources and content to enhance and support the learning experience. As technology continues to transform the way we learn and access information, digital learning materials have become increasingly popular in modern education. This study looked at how different kinds of digital learning materials…

Purpose: This meta-analytical study aims to test the interrelationships within Bolman and Deal's four-frame leadership model in educational settings around the world. Moreover, we evaluated the effect of several factors like publication year, study type, sample group, level of education and country of data collection on these relationships.…

There is an increasing focus on research exploring autistic communication and community. In this review, we systematically collate and analyse how autistic adults describe their experiences of other autistic people and the relationship this has with their Quality of Life (QoL). Fifty two qualitative papers were analysed using thematic…

The 21st century requires English language teaching teachers to cultivate the use of language and competencies to make their students 21st-century learners. Podcasts produced by students allow them to use language in an authentic setting while practicing the skills of critical thinking, innovation, creativity, problem-solving, reflection, and…

Background: As researchers rush to investigate the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT to enhance learning, well-documented pitfalls threaten the validity of this emerging research. Issues of media comparison research, where the confounding of instructional methods and technological affordances is unrecognised, may render effects uninterpretable.…

This meta-analytic review explored the characteristics and effectiveness of combined language (e.g., vocabulary) and code (e.g., phonological awareness) interventions, including synergistic intervention effects for at-risk preschoolers. Data from 29 randomized controlled trials, published before March 2023, reporting on 43 interventions, including…

Background: Computational thinking (CT) is a cognitive approach intricately linked with core competencies in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Numerous studies have explored strategies to effectively integrate CT into STEM education and systematically evaluated the multidimensional impact on student learning outcomes.…

Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising educational tool in medical training, offering immersive learning experiences that address traditional limitations in medical education. However, comprehensive evidence regarding VR's overall effectiveness across diverse medical education contexts remains fragmented. To systematically…

The lack of utilization of the local environment in science learning causes low environmental and science literacy among students. In fact, integrating the surrounding environment, such as mangrove forests in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) based learning is very important to foster scientific awareness and understanding from an early…

The purpose of this qualitative meta-analysis (QMA) is to provide a concise and comprehensive picture of findings across qualitative studies to answer this question: What factors contribute to systematically closing the opportunity gap for all students, and particularly for students labelled linguistically and culturally diverse? The ultimate goal…

Professional development in classroom assessment techniques plays a crucial role in enhancing student learning outcomes. The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA)-guided systematic review of the research literature assesses these programs to identify effective methodologies, research limitations, and trends in…

Purpose: This mixed-methods systematic review examines how Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) influences academic outcomes in school-aged children (5-18). While SEL is widely recognised for its emotional and social benefits, its direct academic impact remains unclear. Method: The review synthesised evidence from eighteen quantitative and seven…

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…

In the last six years, computer-assisted mathematics education (CAME) in project-based learning (PBL) has been conducted in a relatively large part of the learning environment. However, using CAME in the PBL has an inconsistent effect on Indonesian students' mathematics achievement. A meta-analytic review was used to estimate and examine the…

This study systematically reviews empirical research on the relationship between perceived teacher support and academic achievement in higher education published between 2020 and 2025. Twenty-one studies comprising 21,202 students across 10 countries were analyzed. Most reported a positive direct association, though one study in a non-traditional…
