Publication date: Available online 28 October 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Sohil Alqazlan, Barah Alallawi, Vasiliki TotsikaAbstractPost-secondary education (PSE) is an important option in the educational and employment paths of students with intellectual disabilities (ID). However, PSE for young adults with ID is not in wide use across the world. Different issues might affect the geographical spread of PSE programmes. Some of these are related to the attitudes, expectations and/or funding for those programmes. In this systematic review, the PSE experiences of different stakeholder groups (young adults ...

The impact of shared book reading on children's language skills: A meta-analysis
Publication date: November 2019Source: Educational Research Review, Volume 28Author(s): Claire Noble, Giovanni Sala, Michelle Peter, Jamie Lingwood, Caroline Rowland, Fernand Gobet, Julian PineAbstractShared book reading is thought to have a positive impact on young children's language development, with shared reading interventions often run in an attempt to boost children's language skills. However, despite the volume of research in this area, a number of issues remain outstanding. The current meta-analysis explored whether shared reading interventions are equally effective (a) across a range of study designs; (b) across ...

Self-Regulated Learning Partially Mediates the Effect of Self-Regulated Learning Interventions on Achievement in Higher Education: a Meta-Analysis
In this study, meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) was used to test whether SRL activity indeed mediates the effect of SRL interventions on achievement in higher education. Contrary to popular belief, the results only provide evidence for partial mediation. Furthermore, three separate meta-analyses were performed to investigate the role of possible moderators of the relations between: (1) SRL interventions and achievement, (2) SRL interventions and SRL activity, and (3) SRL activity and achievement. Although SRL interventions were effective in improving SRL activity and achievement, most of the study, measur...

What Types of Cultural Capital Benefit Students’ Academic Achievement at Different Educational Stages? Interrogating the Meta-analytic Evidence
Publication date: Available online 11 September 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Cheng Yong Tan, Baiwen Peng, Meiyan LyuAbstractThe present study challenges the assumption that cultural capital benefits students’ academic achievement regardless of their educational stages. Meta-analytic results from 105 studies published 2000-2017 indicated that nine cultural capital variables (e.g., home educational resources, maternal and paternal education, parental expectations, cultural participation, home support, school participation) benefited all students while five cultural capital variables exhibited a differe...

Student teachers’ professional identity: A review of research contributions
Publication date: November 2019Source: Educational Research Review, Volume 28Author(s): Filomena Rodrigues, Maria João MogarroAbstractTwenty-two empirical studies on student teachers' professional identity were selected for this review. In this paper we present important implications for current and future research on student teachers' professional identity by focusing on the discussion of key-issues associated with it. We also discuss the studies’ contributions and implications for initial teacher education and future research. Based on this discussion, we present a working definition of professional identity and consi...

The Relations between Acculturation and Creativity and Innovation in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review
Publication date: Available online 30 July 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Rukhsar SharifAbstractThis systematic literature review focuses on research findings from 20 peer-reviewed studies on the relations between the constructs of acculturation and creativity as well as acculturation and innovation in higher education. The overall research findings suggested a primarily causal relation between acculturation and creativity through statistical modeling. However, acculturation was also found to be correlated with and predict creativity. Moreover, attributes of acculturation discovered to engender creativit...

Ten Years of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning: A meta-analysis of CSCL in STEM education during 2005-2014
Publication date: Available online 14 June 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Heisawn Jeong, Cindy E. Hmelo-Silver, Kihyun JoAbstractThe goal of this paper is to report on a meta-analysis about the effects of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) in STEM education. The analysis is based on 316 outcomes from 143 studies that examined the effects of CSCL published between 2005 and 2014. Our analysis showed that the overall effect size of STEM CSCL was .51, a moderate but notable effect size in educational research. The effect was greatest on the process outcomes, followed by knowledge outcomes, and ...

The Relationships between Teachers’ Emotional Labor and Their Burnout and Satisfaction: A Meta-Analytic Review
This study is a meta-analytic review of the associations between teachers’ emotional labor strategies (i.e., surface acting, deep acting, and the expression of naturally felt emotions) and other relevant constructs. The meta-analysis is based on 85 empirical articles and 86 independent samples, with the experiences of 33,248 teachers represented in the articles reviewed. The meta-correlations are generally in the expected direction. Surface acting is positively related to the individual and interpersonal components of burnout and negatively related to teaching satisfaction. Deep acting is not significantly related to the...
