To present time-varying evidence, cumulative meta-analysis (CMA) updates results of previous meta-analyses to incorporate new study results. We investigate the properties of CMA, suggest possible improvements and provide the first in-depth simulation study of the use of CMA and CUSUM methods for detection of temporal trends in random-effects…

To enable optimal decision-making based on the best evidence available, open syntheses are called for. To make data accessible and comprehensible even for decision-makers without proficient knowledge in meta-analysis, a graphical user interface (GUI) provides flexible data visualizations including interpretation aids. Moreover, due to a growing…

Research on academic performance in online education proliferated in the last decade; however, our current understanding of the relationship between self-regulated learning and academic performance in online learning environments remains scattered. This meta-analysis provides a holistic view of the relationship between learners' use of…

Substantial research has explored the connection between children's spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and their current and later mathematical achievement. However, the findings have been inconsistent, and no comprehensive investigation has yet been conducted. This meta-analysis examines the relation between SFON and mathematics…

Rapid automatized naming (RAN) has surged in popularity recently as an important indicator of reading difficulties, including dyslexia. Despite an extensive history of research on RAN, including recent meta-analyses indicating a unique contribution of RAN to reading above and beyond phonemic awareness, questions remain regarding RAN's relationship…

Effective learning design (LD) grounded in sound pedagogy is a critical driver of student success. Therefore, it is important to explore how LD of online learning environments influences student ability to manage their own learning. This understanding can inform the development of online programs that prioritize student-driven learning. Research…

Introduction: Bullying and cyberbullying undermine the identity of the young people who suffer them. This multidimensional phenomenon takes place within the peer group, in different interaction settings, outside the classroom contexts. It also presents various risk factors related to leisure spaces and activities, which in many cases have a high…

Students involve themselves in learning activities multidimensionally, including behaviorally, cognitively, emotionally, and agentically. This multidimensional involvement predicts important outcomes, but it is also possible that each type of engagement might have its own specialized purpose or function. To investigate this possibility, we…

The aim of this study is to examine the available scientific evidence on the reliability and criterion validity of 6-minute run walk field-based test when administered to children and adolescents. Systematic searches were performed in three electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, SPORTDiscuss and Scopus) from their inception until February 2024,…

This study aimed to identify national qualification programs for outdoor pursuit leaders (OPLs) worldwide, using a systematic survey methodology inspired in part by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) search protocol, and international experts were consulted to identify OPL qualification programs. A…

The current meta-analysis investigates the longitudinal association between prior and subsequent mathematics performance, involving mathematics measured at three time points, and to identify potential factors that could moderate this association, including age, time lag, and types of mathematics. Our analysis included 105 studies, comprising 111…

Objective: Accumulating evidence indicates high rates of major depressive disorder (MDD) in children and adolescents with ADHD. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the rate of depression in children and adolescents with ADHD who are without intellectual disability (ID). Method: A comprehensive search of six databases…

The Production-oriented Approach (POA) is an emerging language teaching method tailored to the characteristics of Chinese learners, but the existing experimental studies have yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, this study employs a comprehensive meta-analysis to assess the overall effectiveness of POA on students' English language skills, and…

Purpose: The intersection of multiculturalism and educational leadership has received increasing attention in research worldwide. Nonetheless, considering major trends and challenges across different societies, little is known about this under the indigenous communities' framework. The purpose of the paper is to address this gap through a review…

Vocabulary is another domain in which teachers seek support regarding instructional methods, strategies, and resources as it is still unclear which method is more efficient in vocabulary instruction because it is affected by a number of variables and coursebooks and curricula do not direct neither the teachers nor the students properly. How…
