This study explores the formation of leaders in Kenyan private Christian chartered universities. The topic of formation has garnered attention in some parts of the world, for example, the United States, but in the majority of the world, issues related to teaching and learning, as well as how the university system functions, continue to dominate…

This study aims to ascertain the impact of the Active learning method on high-order thinking skills (HOTS) within the realm of Islamic education. Our primary contribution is the comprehensive meta-analysis of various preliminary and university educational studies. Using RStudio, we analyzed the differences in effect sizes, variations, and groups…

This study synthesized the effect of performance-based funding (hereafter, PBF) through multi-stages of a systematic literature review based on 36 articles. In addition, this study analyzes how policy design relates to the effectiveness of PBF in individual states. Similar to other meta-analyses, this study found that PBF policy is not effective…

Since the advent of translanguaging pedagogy in language education, scholars have explored its application as a transformative tool for enhancing English language learning outcomes in Indonesia. Recent research has focused on strategies, practices, and future prospects of translanguaging pedagogy. This study employed the Preferred Reporting Items…

This paper explores the facilitation of the emancipatory in an International Baccalaureate ("IB") context of privilege. It aligns with the idea that capitalism, even in welfare state democracies or 'do good' corporations, maintains the interests of the owners of capital. It is by nature unjust and exploitative and must conceal this…

As reporting of effect sizes in evaluation studies has proliferated, researchers and consumers of research need tools for interpreting or benchmarking the magnitude of those effect sizes that are relevant to the intervention, target population, and outcome measure being considered. Similarly, researchers planning education studies with social and…

Recent reviews of the educational intervention literature have noted patterns of intervention impact fadeout on cognitive skills, whereby skill trajectories between children in the intervention and control group converge in the years following the end of the intervention. Some early childhood education (ECE) researchers have suggested that skill…

Prior research has revealed robust and consistent relations between spatial and mathematical skills. Yet, establishing a causal relation has been met with mixed effects. To better understand whether, to what extent, and under what conditions mathematics performance can be improved through spatial training, we conducted a systematic meta-analysis…

Studies on digital game-based language learning (DGBLL) have increased in numbers, creating a pool of studies that can be meta-analyzed to measure the overall effect of digital gaming on second language (L2) development. The current meta-analysis targets digital games that were available to the public at the time of data collection, January of…

This meta-analysis examines the impact of parent interventions on outcomes for parents of children with ASD. A systematic review of the literature produced 37 studies that met inclusion criteria. Random-effects models revealed small but significant impacts of intervention on parental outcomes, primarily in parenting confidence and mental health.…

One of the main goals of an individual participant data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) of intervention studies is to investigate whether treatment effect differences are present, and how they are associated with patient characteristics. Examining treatment heterogeneity due to a continuous covariable (e.g., BMI or age) may be challenging, since there is…

Evidence suggests that cyberbullying among school-age children is related to problem behaviors and other adverse school performance constructs. As a result, numerous school-based programs have been developed and implemented to decrease cyberbullying perpetration and victimization. Given the extensive literature and variation in program…

Meta-analytical methods face particular challenges in research fields such as social and political research, where studies often rest primarily on qualitative and case study research. In such contexts, where research findings are less standardized and amenable to structured synthesis, the case survey method has been proposed as a means of data…

Randomised controlled trials of cancer treatments typically report progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes. Existing methods to synthesise evidence on PFS and OS either rely on the proportional hazards assumption or make parametric assumptions which may not capture the diverse survival curve shapes across studies and…

Meta-analysis is a widely used methodology to combine evidence from different sources examining a common research phenomenon, to obtain a quantitative summary of the studied phenomenon. In the medical field, multiple studies investigate the effectiveness of new treatments and meta-analysis is largely performed to generate the summary (average)…
