When the music's over. Does music skill transfer to children's and young adolescents' cognitive and academic skills? A meta-analysis
Publication date: February 2017 Source:Educational Research Review, Volume 20 Author(s): Giovanni Sala, Fernand Gobet Music training has been recently claimed to enhance children and young adolescents' cognitive and academic skills. However, substantive research on transfer of skills suggests that far-transfer - i.e., the transfer of skills between two areas only loosely related to each other - occurs rarely. In this meta-analysis, we examined the available experimental evidence regarding the impact of music training on children and young adolescents' cognitive and academic skills. The results of the random-effects mod...

Using sociometric techniques to assess the social impacts of inclusion: Some methodological considerations
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2016 Source:Educational Research Review Author(s): Avramidis Elias, Strogilos Vasilis, Aroni Katerina, Kantaraki Thessalia Christine In recent years, sociometric techniques have been increasingly used to assess friendship development in children with special educational needs integrated in regular educational settings. In this paper, the findings produced by different techniques are contrasted with a view to examining whether the variable findings reported can be attributed to the technique employed. The analysis revealed that peer nominations have been used to determine ...

Publication date: Available online 15 November 2016 Source:Educational Research Review Author(s): Huiyong Fan, Jianzhong Xu, Zhihui Cai, Jinbo He, Xitao Fan In the current investigation, research conducted since 1986 were synthesized to examine the homework – achievement relationship in math/science, and to examine a range of factors that could have moderated this relationship. Our investigation revealed that there was an overall small and positive relationship between homework and academic achievement in math/science. Our investigation further revealed that the homework – achievement relationship in math/scienc...

Advantages and challenges associated with augmented reality for education: A systematic review of the literature
This study presents a systematic review of the literature on augmented reality (AR) used in educational settings. We consider factors such as publication year, learner type (e.g., K-12, higher education, and adult), technologies in AR, and the advantages and challenges of using AR in educational settings. The full range of SSCI journals was surveyed and a total of 68 research articles were selected for analysis. The findings reveal an increase in the number of AR studies during the last four years. The most reported advantage of AR is that it promotes enhanced learning achievement. Some noted challenges imposed by AR are u...

Facilitating the social participation of pupils with special educational needs in mainstream schools: A review of school-based interventions
Publication date: Available online 4 November 2016 Source:Educational Research Review Author(s): Ariana Garrote, Rachel Sermier Dessemontet, Elisabeth Moser Opitz Inclusive education of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) has become a global trend. However, a considerable number of studies have shown that mere enrolment in mainstream classrooms is not enough to support the social participation of pupils with SEN. These children are at risk of experiencing difficulties in their involvement with peers at school. Thus, the question arises of how social participation can be fostered in mainstream classrooms. A sys...

Exploring the Value of Peer Feedback in Online Learning for the Provider
Publication date: Available online 22 October 2016 Source:Educational Research Review Author(s): Esther van Popta, Marijke Kral, Gino Camp, Rob L. Martens, P. Robert-Jan Simons This paper reviews studies of peer feedback from the novel perspective of the providers of that feedback. The possible learning benefits of providing peer feedback in online learning have not been extensively studied. The goal of this study was therefore to explore the process of providing online peer feedback as a learning activity for the provider. We concluded that (1) providing online peer feedback has several potential learning benefits ...

The role of passion in education: A systematic review
Publication date: Available online 2 September 2016 Source:Educational Research Review Author(s): Zuleica Ruiz-Alfonso, Jaime León How do researchers define passion? What are the outcomes of passion? What variables ignite passion? To answer these questions, we performed a systematic review of studies within the context of education. After conducting a search in major electronic databases, we presented the primary findings of 13 articles from 2004 to 2013. This review indicates that the most shared features of passion´s conceptualization are dedication, persistence, identification with and love for the activity. Passi...

Authenticity in Virtual Reality for assessment and intervention in Autism: A Conceptual Review
Publication date: Available online 15 August 2016 Source:Educational Research Review Author(s): Sarah Parsons Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have shown potential for learning and assessment for children, adolescents, and adults with autism. Much of the research in this area has taken a conceptual stance of veridicality; that is, that VR offers promise because it can provide authenticity and levels of realism alongside stimulus or environmental control, or both, which may first facilitate learning and the generalization of skills to the real world, and secondly can provide experimental contexts with strong ecological ...

Effects of Innovative Science and Mathematics Teaching on Student Attitudes and Achievement: A Meta-Analytic Study
This study provides a meta analytic review based on 56 publications (1988-2014), reporting 65 independent experiments that investigated the effects of teaching approaches on student attitudes in primary or secondary science or mathematics education. Five types of teaching approaches were distinguished: inquiry-based, context-based, computer-based, collaborative learning strategies, and extra-curricular activities. Since many different attitude outcomes were distinguished and attitudes were assessed at different levels of granularity, we did separate analyses for specific and more global outcomes. Outcomes were not signific...

Who, when, why and to what end? Students at risk of negative student –teacher relationships and their outcomes
Publication date: February 2015 Source:Educational Research Review, Volume 14 Author(s): Kevin F. McGrath, Penny Van Bergen The student–teacher relationship is critically important: influencing children's academic, social, behavioural and emotional development. While much research has examined the predictors and consequences of the student–teacher relationship across the school years, no review to date has focused specifically on the characteristics and outcomes of students who are already at a heightened risk of experiencing a negative student–teacher relationship. This review explores the characteristics th...
