Unpacking Teachers’ Intentions to Integrate Technology: A Meta-Analysis
Publication date: Available online 9 March 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Ronny Scherer, Timothy TeoAbstractThe Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a key model describing teachers’ intentions to use technology. This meta-analysis clarifies some of the contradictory findings surrounding the relations within the TAM for a sample of 45 studies comprising 300 correlations. We evaluate the overall fit of the TAM and its structural parameters, and quantify the between-sample variation through meta-analytic structural equation modeling. The TAM fitted the data well, and all structural parameters were statist...

A Systematic Review of Teacher Guidance During Collaborative Learning in Primary and Secondary Education
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Anouschka van Leeuwen, Jeroen JanssenAbstractFor this review, we synthesized quantitative and qualitative research on collaborative learning to examine the relationship between teacher guidance strategies and the processes and outcomes of collaboration among students (66 studies). The results show that several aspects of teacher guidance are positively related to student collaboration, for example when teachers focus their attention on students’ problem solving strategies. During student collaboration, opportunities arise for...

Measurement, development, and stimulation of computational estimation abilities in kindergarten and primary education: A systematic literature review
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Elke Sekeris, Lieven Verschaffel, Koen LuwelAbstractFor several decades computational estimation is seen as an important topic in primary mathematics education. While previous narrative literature reviews on computational estimation summarized the available research on computational estimation abilities in students and adults, the present systematic literature review focuses on the measurement, development, and stimulation of computational estimation abilities in kindergartners and primary school children. Reviewing 28 studies r...

Domains of Teacher Identity: A Review of Quantitative Measurement Instruments
This study provides an overview of components of teacher identity that are found in quantitative measurement instruments; and reports on the psychometric quality of these measurement instruments. Our search included studies that assessed components of teacher identity published in English-written, peer-reviewed articles between 2000 and 2018. We analyzed a total of 59 components in 20 studies. After we categorized the components on the basis of a substantive analysis, six main domains of teacher identity became apparent: self-image, self-efficacy, commitment, motivation, task-perception, and job-satisfaction. Whereas the o...

Revisiting the effects of project-based learning on students’ academic achievement: A meta-analysis investigating moderators
This study thus performed a meta-analysis to synthesize existing research that compared the effects of project-based learning and those of traditional instruction on student academic achievement. Forty-six effect sizes (comparisons) extracted from 30 eligible journal articles published from 1998 to 2017 were analyzed, representing 12,585 students from 189 schools in nine countries. The results showed that the overall mean weighted effect size (d+) was 0.71, indicating that project-based learning has a medium to large positive effect on students' academic achievement compared with traditional instruction. In addition, the m...

Toward a Taxonomy of Entrepreneurship Education Research Literature: A Bibliometric Mapping and Visualization
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2019Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Katharina FellnhoferAbstractThe retrospective amount of research literature dedicated to entrepreneurship education (EE) is overwhelming, which makes producing an overview difficult. However, advanced bibliometric mapping and clustering techniques can help visualize and structure complex research literature. Thus, the objective of this mapping study is to systematically explore and cluster the EE research literature to deliver a taxonomic scheme that can serve as a basis for future research. The analyzed data, which were drawn f...
