Embodied creativity research has begun to demonstrate that postures may boost creative performance depending on whether the creativity task requires either divergent or convergent thinking processes. Although a few studies have demonstrated that being in an expansive posture can benefit creative performance in a divergent-exploratory thinking…

In the information and technology era, instructional video technologies have become popular teaching approaches and attracted academic interest. A growing body of literature has investigated various instructional video technologies and identified influencing factors on their effectiveness. However, the findings on the effectiveness of…

Many studies have been conducted on the implementation of alternative assessments on students. However, this study is carried out to explore definitions, characteristics and students' perceptions of alternative assessment at university and school level. A total of one hundred and seventeen (117) journal articles were searched through different…

Background: Internationally, research comparing education systems across countries and jurisdictions is valuable and can elicit nuanced insights into how particular systems operate. This paper's interest lies in considering the scope and content of research comparing education systems across the four UK nations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland…

A central principle of programmatic assessment is that the final decision is not a surprise to the learner. To achieve this, assessments must demonstrate predictive and consequential validity, however, to date, research has only focussed on the former. The present study attempts to address this gap by examining the predictive and consequential…

Examining gender differences in learning is of critical importance in terms of revealing any potential inequalities. Although gender differences in lifelong learning tendencies are often examined in individual studies in the literature, the relevant findings are found to be inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was carried out to…

Making metamemory judgments reactively changes item memory itself. Here we report the first investigation of reactive influences of making judgments of learning (JOLs) on interitem relational memory--specifically, temporal (serial) order memory. Experiment 1 found that making JOLs impaired order reconstruction. Experiment 2 observed minimal…

This study aimed to examine the impact of authentic learning on attitudes towards the course using a meta analysis method. To achieve this, the researcher established inclusion and exclusion criteria and conducted a literature review. The review included 23 studies, from which they extracted 26 individual effect sizes. The researcher analyzed…

Creating its own learner corpus, this research proposed to analyze and classify the transition markers used in solo presentation by 30 Thai engineering students based on Hyland (2019)'s Marker Categorization in Textual Metadiscourse. This research also aimed to identify and compare the quantities of individual transition markers among three groups…

This systematic review evaluates the application of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model in higher education, analyzing 162 SSCI/SCI-E articles from 2008 to 2022. It reveals a predominant focus on student participants from Asia and North America. Mobile learning tools are the most studied technologies. Surveys…

Given the information age, an important educational objective is cultivating innovators who can propose unique ideas. Learner-centred education is a way to achieve this objective; however, what is the current effectiveness of learner-centred education? A meta-analysis was conducted to analyse 72 effect sizes from 42 quantitative studies to…

The two main purposes of the current meta-analysis were (1) to determine the relation between socioeconomic status (SES) of students and academic performance (AP) and (2) and evaluate the effect of several potential moderating factors in this relation. Data covered the publications between 2010 and 2019, and the dataset consisted of 48 independent…

The ability to read in a second language (L2) for academic purposes is essential for higher education students. Dutch colleges increasingly use materials in English or teach in English. This can be challenging for L2 readers, especially students entering higher education from vocational studies, who may have less experience with L2 academic…

This paper is a meta-analysis of qualitative studies on international scholars migrating to academic peripheries. In contrast to studies focused on relocating to the US and other global centers, or those focused on 'star faculty,' these studies reveal a different face of international migration. By examining 19 studies from all over the world, we…

The aim of this study is to examine the different aspects of national articles and postgraduate theses on the quantum learning model conducted in Turkiye between 2010-2021. This study is a study conducted with content analysis and includes research on the quantum learning model, which can be accessed from the TR index and YOK Thesis Center…
