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…

Purpose: The current study intended to conceptually and technically examine the literature on blended learning (BL) utilising a dual-focused approach with systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. This study intends to address eight different research problem areas.: (1) the descriptive features of the retrieved empirical studies on…

Past reviews of cyberbullying preventative interventions have critiqued the field regarding scientific rigor, and a meta-analysis found that randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of such interventions were more effective than non-RCTs. However, no review has examined the risk of bias, dosage, modality, and delivery context of such programs to date.…

Missing covariates is a common issue when fitting meta-regression models. Standard practice for handling missing covariates tends to involve one of two approaches. In a complete-case analysis, effect sizes for which relevant covariates are missing are omitted from model estimation. Alternatively, researchers have employed the so-called…

This article reviews educational efforts to promote a responsible conduct of research (RCR) that were reported in scientific publications between 1990 and early 2020. Unlike previous reviews that were exploratory in nature, this review aimed to test eleven hypotheses on effective training strategies. The achievement of different learning outcomes…

An important goal of schooling is teaching students how to write. Teachers need access to effective writing practices to meet this goal. For close to 40 years, meta-analyses of writing intervention studies have been used to identify evidence-based practices in writing. Most of the research included in these reviews involved studies conducted in…

Over the last decade, there has been a 10-fold increase in the number of published systematic reviews of prevalence. In meta-analyses of prevalence, the summary estimate represents an average prevalence from included studies. This estimate is truly informative only if there is no substantial heterogeneity among the different contexts being pooled.…

Psychotic experiences can occur in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Some of the ASD individuals with these experiences may fulfil Clinical High-Risk for Psychosis (CHR-P) criteria. A systematic literature search was performed to review the information on ASD and CHR-P. A meta-analysis of the proportion of CHR-P in ASD was conducted. The systematic…
