This meta-analysis builds on 217 empirical studies in higher education and investigates the role of the different forms of adaptivity and adaptability as personalization strategies in simulation-based learning environments for complex skills in higher education. The strategies used to personalize scaffolding and task progression were the central point in this meta-analysis. We identified conditions under which personalization advances complex skills in higher education. The results indicate that whereas adaptivity (i.e., computer makes decisions) is more effective for scaffolding, adaptability (the decisions made by individual learners) seem more beneficial for task progression. We conclude that adaptivity and adaptability can be effectively used to personalize simulation-based learning environments in higher education to better address needs of learners with different learning needs. We also discuss the potential of artificial intelligence for empowering personalization in simulation-based learning.

This study reviewed research on the features of digital media (e.g. apps, e-books) which influence interactions between adults and children aged 2–7 years when using these media together. We focused on interactions which support child learning, particularly oral language development. We used robust variance estimation to conduct multilevel meta-analyses of 15 experimental studies (n = 627 parent–child pairs; k = 190 effects). Findings suggest that digital design can shape adult-child interactions (g = 0.56, k = 170), particularly the quality of parental language input (g = 1.1, k = 86). Embedding conversation prompts into e-books showed particular promise (g = 0.84–0.99, k = 58–74). Though small in scope, this study offers direction for media design and research and indicates promise for low-cost intervention via digital design. However, it also indicates a need for more robust and well-powered research to inform design, practice and policy. In particular, better evidence is needed to establish whether the benefits identified for adult-child interaction translate into benefits for wider child and adult outcomes.

The relationship between teacher self-efficacy (TSE) and teacher resilience (TR) is a bourgeoning area of study in teacher education research. This meta-analysis is the first of its kind to synthesise ‘fragmented’ quantitative evidence on the correlation between the two constructs. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a total of 21 studies were included in the meta-analysis, encompassing a sample of 6022 pre-service and in-service teachers across different national settings. The random-effects model yielded a statistically significant, positive, moderate correlation between TSE and TR (r = .49). Follow-up subgroup meta-analysis revealed the variability in the effect sizes between studies conducted in Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and North America. No statistically significant variability in the effect sizes was found between pre-service and in-service teacher samples or between studies using different measures of resilience and self-efficacy. This meta-analysis provides insights into fostering the ‘concerted growth’ in TSE and TR through initial teacher education and ongoing professional development. These insights offer a productive response to the challenging teaching profession.

In today's dynamic job market, lifelong learning (LLL) is essential due to technological advancements and evolving requirements. Since it is the responsibility of higher education to prepare students for LLL, it is imperative for higher education not only to acknowledge the significance of LLL but also to delve deeper into the core competencies that underpin LLL. This systematic literature review aims to construct a comprehensive LLL competency framework. The primary focus is to unveil which core competencies are vital for lifelong learners. Following prisma 2020 guidelines, a search in Scopus yielded 65 relevant paper across various disciplines. Data extraction resulted in 10 existing LLL frameworks and a total of 254 LLL competencies. Categorization and discussions led to six LLL competency categories: (1) Information Literacy, (2) Self-Regulation & Self-Direction, (3) Autonomous Motivation, (4) Learning Beliefs & Strategies, (5) Initiative & Perseverance, and (6) Adaptability & Resilience. A comparison with existing LLL frameworks highlighted gaps, since no framework covered all six categories and often only included sub aspects of a specific LLL competency category. The new comprehensive LLL framework combines insights and provides definitions for each LLL competency category. The framework provides a generic and discipline overarching view, while still providing room for domain and discipline specific adaptations if required.

Digital parenting is being enacted in a rapidly digitalized context and it impacts different children's outcomes. The present study employs an umbrella review involving 31 reviews to derive insights on different aspects of relationships between digital parenting and child development. Results showed that digital parenting had been conceptualized as comprising three dimensions (parental mediation, parents' use of digital technologies, and parents' role-modeling the use of digital technologies) that encompassed what parents did at home and for supporting their children's school learning. Parents and children's media-related variables (e.g., attitudes, technological access and skills) predicted the enactment of digital parenting. Digital parenting was inextricably related to general parenting in that it extended general parenting in the digital environment and it facilitated general parenting. Research was characterized by the use of cross-sectional designs, examination of either a single or multiple aspects of digital parenting, the use of parent or child self-reported perceptions, and the application of exploratory factor analytical approaches. Digital parenting impacted children's online behaviors, exposure to online risks, psychological and emotional wellbeing, digital literacy, and privacy protection. The present study contributes to the scholarship by providing a comprehensive conceptualization of digital parenting, underscoring the protective and promotive functions of digital parenting in child development, and highlighting the need for methodological enhancements in the measurement of digital parenting. It also identifies areas in digital parenting research where the evidence has been mixed or inadequate and therefore, points the way forward for future research.

This systematic review aims to clarify the concept of principals' data literacy and its various components. After examining 56 empirical studies, we have defined principals' data literacy and identified 63 specific indicators, organized into seven dimensions. Our findings highlight the complex tasks and responsibilities principals undertake to effectively lead with data. Although some data-related activities overlap between principals and teachers, the nature, scope, and purposes of data use differ between these roles. While teachers’ data literacy focuses on hands-on data creation, collection, and analysis, principals' data literacy revolves around leading their school communities and beyond. We argue that three of the seven dimensions—Dimension 3 (“Data use for fostering a data-driven culture”), Dimension 4 (“Data use for school improvement”), and Dimension 5 (“Data use for informing own practices”)—are particularly relevant to school leaders, thereby distinguishing principals' data literacy from that of teachers. We conclude by suggesting several practical implications based on our review, which could benefit the professional development of both school leaders and teachers at various career stages.

Over the past 20 years there has been a growing international focus within early childhood education sectors on the potential benefits of neuroscience-informed approaches. This has resulted in a burgeoning of initiatives that draw upon neuroscience to influence early childhood educator practice and, in turn, children's learning and development. This study reports an international scoping review of professional learning programs for early childhood educators that are based on the translation of neuroscience research to practice. A total of 15 studies were included with the professional learning approaches documented variously aiming to build educator knowledge, support educators to embed specific practices, and/or deliver a structured intervention with children. There were largely positive reports across studies of boosts in educator knowledge, attitudes, confidence, and self-efficacy in relation to neuroscience. In several studies, educators also reported changes to their practice, improvements in the quality of their relationships with children, and reduced stress levels. Child outcomes were less often reported, with two of the three studies reporting these documenting enhanced child social-emotional development from delivery of a specific intervention by educators. Implementation fidelity was an important aspect with high fidelity linked with better documented outcomes. Overall, the robustness of the evidence for neuroscience-based professional learning for early childhood educators is mixed, with the majority of included studies not including a comparison group, and thus causality cannot be claimed. We propose a theory of change model for this field of work, and note the current limited research focussed on outcomes beyond initial changes in educator attitudes and knowledge. There is potential for design of more comprehensive approaches to embed neuroscience in early childhood education. Future scaling up of effective programs, and design of new ones, requires deeper understanding of program implementation and points to the need for comprehensive evaluations incorporating both process and outcomes assessment.

Future scaling up of effective programs, and design of new ones, requires deeper understanding of program implementation and points to the need for comprehensive evaluations incorporating both process and outcomes assessment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48125,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research Review","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100644"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142417695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) education in K-12 contexts, i.e., teaching students about AI, is critical to promote students' AI literacy. However, the state-of-the-art of AI education is not clear enough. To this end, this study reviewed 45 high-quality empirical studies on K-12 AI education over the past decade from both research and instruction perspectives. Regarding the research design, this study revealed the relationship between publication year, sample size, learning stage, educational setting, research method, research focus and duration. Regarding the instruction design, this study revealed the relationship between learning stage, pedagogical strategy, learning tool, learning activity, learning content, assessment method and learning effect. Besides, this study also derived recommendations for research (i.e., time allocation, samples selection, longitudinal design, rigorous methodology and technical democracy) and instruction (i.e., group learning, authentic context, teacher involvement, triangular evidence and learning scaffolding). Overall, the main findings indicate that K-12 AI education has the potential to develop students’ AI literacy, which contains AI knowledge, AI affectivity, and AI thinking. However, deficiencies in research and instructional design still remain, including short durations, small sample sizes, non-standardized research methods, lack of long-term and cross-age AI curriculum, etc. This study also discussed several critical topics for future research and instruction.

Mobile-assisted reading research has seen a growing trend in the use of eye tracking to explore readers’ performance traditionally examined by offline accuracy measures. Through its ability to provide detailed records of online processing behaviours at a high temporal resolution, eye tracking offers new insights into real-time cognitive processes associated with mobile digital reading, which offline measures are unable to do. Despite its unique advantages, previous systematic reviews have mainly focused on offline performance to compare mobile-assisted versus traditional reading, with a lack of attention to online performance using eye tracking in the literature. As interest in and the availability of eye tracking continues to expand, a systematic review is timely to identify the issues that have already been addressed, if research gaps remain, and any warranted future work in this regard. In doing so, the current review aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of mobile-assisted reading research using eye tracking from 2010 to 2022, including article information, research focus, technology, and method. Additionally, this review critically discusses the limitations of previous research and proposes the avenues for future endeavours.
