This dissertation examined how higher education impacts economic outcomes, focusing on variables like age, sex, and socioeconomic status using meta-analysis. It acknowledged higher education's macro-level benefits in economic growth and addresses individual-level barriers to access. The study aimed to understand the nuanced relationships between…

Data in social and behavioral sciences typically contain measurement errors and do not have predefined metrics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is widely used for the analysis of such data, where the scales of the manifest and latent variables are often subjective. This article studies how the model, parameter estimates, their standard errors…

Implementation planning is a consultative educator support strategy with preliminary evidence of effectiveness from single-case design research. This meta-analysis investigates the impacts of implementation planning on educator implementation and student outcomes and explores moderators of these relationships. Principles of open science and…

Data in social and behavioral sciences typically contain measurement errors and do not have predefined metrics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is widely used for the analysis of such data, where the scales of the manifest and latent variables are often subjective. This article studies how the model, parameter estimates, their standard errors…

Understanding the magnitudes represented by numerals is a core component of early mathematical development and is often assessed by accuracy in situating numerals and fractions on a number line. Performance on these measures is consistently related to performance in other mathematics domains, but the strength of these relations may be…

This study used a meta-analytic structural equation modeling approach to build extended versions of the simple view of reading (SVR) model in second and foreign language (SFL) learning contexts (i.e., SVR-SFL). Based on the correlation coefficients derived from primary studies, we replicated and integrated two previous extended meta-analytic SVR…

Overlap in meta-reviews results from the use of multiple identical primary studies in similar reviews. It is an important area for research synthesists because overlap indicates the degree to which reviews address the same or different literatures of primary research. Current guidelines to address overlap suggest that assessing and documenting the…

Inclusion is widely recognized as one of the founding principles for the quality of educational institutions and it is strictly related to the ICF perspective. Actually, the conceptualization of educational needs is associated to the enhancement of everyone's strengths and potential, and to the influence the (physical and social) environment may…

Biodiversity literacy is becoming increasingly important in the era of globalisation to understand and conserve various forms of life on Earth. Education plays a crucial role in improving biodiversity literacy, but this aspect is often underemphasized in formal and non-formal education. This study aims to analyse the strategic role of conservation…

This article explores the essential leadership competencies of school heads required for effective school management. The article provides a comprehensive overview of leadership competencies as a key supporter in enhancing effective school management. This study used preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA)…

Background/purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of leadership (principal and teacher leadership) and school climate on student achievement as well as the moderating effect of some variables in this relationship. Materials/methods: With this purpose, a meta-analysis of data gathered from a total of 90 empirical studies including…

Background/purpose: Education continues to evolve along with technological advances, and one of the biggest changes is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the learning process. The main problem in this study is the lack of in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the effectiveness of using AI in self-paced learning…

Professional learning communities (PLCs) have been commonly implemented in educational context, specifically in English language education. While prior studies have continuously reported PLCs' contribution and impacts on teacher professional development (TPD), some also reported several challenges in implementing PLCs. In this regard, a…

Research on the possible benefits of digital games for learning outcomes in STEM education has shown mixed results, which is another reason that this study is focused on inconsistencies in past research outcomes. Moreover, it seeks to explore the moderator variables which affect the success of digital games like game design, interactive…

Belonging is central to many students' educational experiences, yet the field of school belonging contends with limited theoretical grounding specifically developed for educational contexts and unresolved tensions between research and practice. This qualitative study evaluates the applicability of the meta-theoretical "Integrative Framework…
