Selecting Teachers and Prospective Teachers: A Meta-Analysis
Publication date: Available online 26 December 2018Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Robert M. Klassen, Lisa E. KimAbstractThe purpose of this review article was to examine the methods used for the selection of teachers for employment and prospective teachers entering initial teacher education (ITE) programs, and to assess the predictive validity of these methods. We reviewed 32 studies reporting selection methods administered in high-stakes conditions and that included an external (not self-reported) teacher effectiveness outcome measure. The overall effect size was small but significant (r = .12, p < .001...

The Role of Teacher Professional Development in Financial Literacy Education: A Systematic Literature Review
Publication date: Available online 4 December 2018Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Boukje Compen, Kristof De Witte, Wouter SchelfhoutAbstractThis paper examines the elements essential to effective teacher professional development (TPD) in financial literacy education by means of a systematic literature review. We provide a theoretical underpinning for the literature review by proposing a revised presentation of an existing general TPD model. Our results provide insight into the student learning goals in financial literacy education, the desirable teaching behaviour, the required teacher quality and the context...

The Relative Importance of Intelligence and Motivation as Predictors of School Achievement: A meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 12 October 2018Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Katharina Kriegbaum, Nicolas Becker, Birgit SpinathAbstractThis meta-analysis summarizes 74 studies (N = 80,145) that simultaneously examined the predictive power of intelligence and motivation for school achievement. First, we found average correlations between intelligence (r = .44) and motivation (r = .27) with school achievement and between intelligence and motivation (r = .17). Moderator analyses showed that the correlation between motivation and school achievement was higher for expectancies than for values. No moderator e...

Identifying student and classroom characteristics related to primary school students’ listening skills: A systematic review
This study presents a systematic review of the empirical research on primary school students’ first language listening skills. In total, 27 studies were selected and reviewed. The purpose of this review is twofold. First, outcome variables of listening skills were labeled according to the conceptual HURIER model of Brownell (2006). Results showed that most studies evaluated listening skills as the ability to remember, understand or interpret the auditory message. Second, important correlates according to the model of Palardy and Rumberger (2008) were related to primary school students’ listening skills. At the classroo...

How effective is emotional design? A meta-analysis on facial anthropomorphisms and pleasant colors during multimedia learning
Publication date: Available online 26 September 2018Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Cyril Brom, Tereza Stárková, Sidney K. D'MelloAbstractWe conducted a meta-analysis of 33 independent samples (N = 2924) to address whether adding anthropomorphic faces to multimedia graphics and/or adding pleasant colors are effective emotional design approaches. We found significant positive meta-analytic effects for retention (k = 18, d+ = 0.387), comprehension (k = 14, d+ = 0.317), and transfer (k = 27, d+ = 0.327) under a random-effects model. Effects for affective-motivational variables were ...

Overcoming Procrastination? A Meta-Analysis of Intervention Studies
We present a meta-analysis of 24 studies on procrastination interventions (total k = 44, N = 1173) in order to find out 1) whether people can reduce their level of procrastination, and 2) if so, which type of intervention leads to the strongest reduction. We compared four different types of interventions: Self-regulation, cognitive behavioral therapy, other therapeutic approaches, and interventions focusing on individuals’ strengths and resources. A large reduction in procrastination after the interventions was found, and the effects remained stable in follow-up assessments. The findings so far suggest that cognitive beh...

Don't throw away your printed books: A meta-analysis on the effects of reading media on reading comprehension
Publication date: Available online 15 September 2018Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Pablo Delgado, Cristina Vargas, Rakefet Ackerman, Ladislao SalmerónAbstractWith the increasing dominance of digital reading over paper reading, gaining understanding of the effects of the medium on reading comprehension has become critical. However, results from research comparing learning outcomes across printed and digital media are mixed, making conclusions difficult to reach. In the current meta-analysis, we examined research in recent years (2000-2017), comparing the reading of comparable texts on paper and on digital de...

Using sensors and augmented reality to train apprentices using recorded expert performance: A systematic literature review
Publication date: Available online 2 August 2018Source: Educational Research ReviewAuthor(s): Bibeg Hang Limbu, Halszka Jarodzka, Roland Klemke, Marcus SpechtAbstractExperts are imperative for training apprentices, but learning from experts is difficult. Experts often struggle to explicate and/or verbalize their knowledge or simply overlook important details due to internalization of their skills, which may make it more difficult for apprentices to learn from experts. In addition, the shortage of experts to support apprentices in one-to-one settings during trainings limits the development of apprentices. In this review, we...

Publication date: February 2018Source: Educational Research Review, Volume 23Author(s): Sascha Schneider, Maik Beege, Steve Nebel, Günter Daniel ReyAbstractThe signaling effect states that learners profit from cues that highlight the organization of specific relevant information within materials. This meta-analysis includes 103 studies and N = 12,201 participants. 139 retention and 70 transfer performance measures were used to determine separate mean effect sizes. Cognitive load, motivation/affect, learning time, and eye-tracking data were included as dependent variables to explain possible effect mechanisms. Additional...
