Predicting and resolving non-completion in higher (online) education – A literature review
Publication date: Available online 28 January 2020Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Laurie, E.C. Delnoij, Kim, J.H. Dirkx, José, P.W. Janssen, Rob, L. MartensAbstractNon-completion in higher education is a persistent problem and even worse of a problem in higher online education. Although there is a lot of research on predictors of non-completion, less is known about what interventions resolve the non-completion problem and to what extent these interventions focus on relevant predictors of non-completion. To close that gap, the literature was systematically reviewed with a twofold aim: 1. Identify modifiable p...

Smart teachers, successful students? A systematic review of the literature on teachers’ cognitive abilities and teacher effectiveness
This study provides a systematic review of the literature on teachers' cognitive abilities (intelligence test scores and proxies of cognitive abilities such as college entrance exam scores and basic skills test scores) and teacher effectiveness. Twenty-seven studies conducted between 2000 and 2019 constitute the sample for this review. Studies using intelligence test scores were rare, with the results indicating no or negative associations with teacher effectiveness. Studies on proxies of cognitive abilities yielded, at most, small positive relations with teacher effectiveness. However, behind these overall results regardi...

Knowledge restructuring through case processing: The key to generalise expertise development theory across domains?
Publication date: Available online 11 January 2020Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Henny P.A. Boshuizen, Hans Gruber, Josef StrasserAbstractIn many domains evidence exists that expertise development goes along with the adaptation of cognitive structures and processes. Whilst it is generally assumed that expertise and its acquisition is domain-specific, there are nevertheless similarities across domains that may evoke comparable processes and lead to similar cognitive restructuring. The “Knowledge Restructuring through Case Processing” (KR-CP) theory is proposed as a domain-general framework that takes into...

Socio-economic status and academic performance in higher education: A systematic review
Publication date: February 2020Source: Educational Research Review, Volume 29Author(s): Carlos Felipe Rodríguez-Hernández, Eduardo Cascallar, Eva KyndtAbstractPrevious educational research has extensively investigated the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and academic performance. In higher education, however, this relationship still deserves a comprehensive examination given both practical and conceptual reasons. To attend to this need, a mixed-methods systematic literature review of 42 studies has been carried out. In the first part, a summative content analysis examines how SES and academic performance ...

PatallAbstractDespite decades of research on interventions for academically underachieving students, no clear answers have emerged. Synthesizing across existing intervention efforts can help in understanding not only the overall effectiveness for these interventions, but also the factors that may moderate such effectiveness. In the current study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the effectiveness of interve...

Supporting learning from text: A meta-analysis on the timing and content of effective feedback
Publication date: Available online 4 November 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Elise K. Swart, Thijs M.J. Nielen, Maria T. Sikkema de JongAbstractThe aim of the present meta-analysis was to examine the effects of feedback on learning from text in conventional readers (ranging from primary school students to university students). Combining 104 contrasts of conditions of reading texts with and without feedback, including 6124 participants, using the random effects model resulted in a positive effect of feedback on learning from text (g+ = 0.35). Moderator analyses showed that feedback is particularly effec...
