TL;DR: In this paper, a review examines research on the effects of educational technology applications on mathematics achievement in K-12 classrooms and applies consistent inclusion standards to focus on studies that met high methodological standards.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reveal how eye tracking technology has been applied to studies of learning, and what eye movement measures have been used for investigations by reviewing studies that have employed the eye-tracking approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the strength of the relation between mathematics and working memory components and to establish whether the variation in the association is caused by tests, sample characteristics and study and other methodological characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis reveals a positive effect of cooperative learning on achievement and attitudes in primary, secondary or tertiary education conducted in real-life classrooms, and the authors investigate the effect of the study domain, the age level of the students and the culture in which the study took place.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on early school leaving can be found in this article, where the authors focus on the interplay of relevant (levels of) factors, rather than on just certain factors, typically located in individual students, schools or families.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically review the corpus of evidence on the effects of need supportive teaching on early adolescents' motivation and engagement for school, and they find that teachers' provision of autonomy support, structure, and involvement is associated with students' motivation.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive literature search across the Academic Search Premier, Education Research Complete, ERIC, and PsycINFO databases was conducted to discuss evidence-based pedagogical approaches related to the use of Web 2.0 technologies in both K-12 and higher education settings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine the findings of management, Human Resource Development (HRD), and organisational psychological research with educational research, and attempt to generate guidelines for further research to improve staff development by revealing gaps in earlier research on impact of staff development.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis presented a synthesis of empirical studies designed to promote measurable changes in students' critical thinking skills using instructional interventions and found that student discipline and treatment length explained part of the variability among treatment effects.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of citizenship education on students' citizenship are discussed in relation to the quality of the studies reviewed, and an open and democratic classroom climate in which discussion and dialogue takes place appears to effectively promote the development of citizenship among secondary school students, while a formal curriculum that includes citizenship projects and courses also appears to be an effective type of education.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an overview of the underlying theoretical paradigm in economics, and the challenges faced in empirical research, and argue that this black box offers opportunities for multi-disciplinary research projects on the transfer of training that relate the perspectives of educational and economic research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the longitudinal development of the relationship between performance self-efficacy and transfer before and after collaborative learning was examined, with a specific focus on training programs that afforded varying degrees of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the relationship between internet addiction and academic performance among university undergraduates and found that internet addiction was significantly negatively correlated with academic performance of university students, and that male students had higher internet addiction than female ones.

TL;DR: Huang et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a meta-analysis on the association between achievement goals and academic achievement and found that there is a small but significant association between goal-approach goals and achievement outcomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore theories and empirical evidence about what constitutes intuitive expertise, and offer an account arising from a review of these explanations, concluding by returning to and making connections with the literature on workplace and professional learning to provide insights into how individual and social learning processes support the development of intuitive expertise.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of studies which apply a social network perspective to examine transfer of training, focusing on the interpersonal mechanisms and social structures that exist among interacting units such as people within an organization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of how teachers understand the feedback they receive from external evaluations, how they use the feedback, and how teachers' understanding and use of such feedback affects the achievement of their students.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of dynamic geometry software GeoGebra on Van Hiele geometry understanding level of students at 11th-grade geometry course and conducted with pre-and post-test control group quasi-experimental method.

TL;DR: In this paper, social psychological theories have been used to explain the underlying mechanisms of factors that support or hinder the transfer of newly trained behavior and skills on the job and give hints for implications and tools to foster transfer in practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used qualitative data obtained from longitudinal investigations to study students' epistemological development in higher education and found that the same scheme does not fit all students and whether the changes found are a specific result of exposure to higher education.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisited the most recent generic team learning model developed by Decuyper, Dochy, and Van den Bossche (2010) and presented a context-specific model for ad hoc multidisciplinary emergency management teams.

TL;DR: In this paper, a socio-personal conception of adaptability is advanced to illuminate this process, which comprises individuals construing what they experience, then aligning and reconciling with what they know, and enacting responses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlighted the challenges of ICT-driven education in Nigeria, the journey so far and the relevance of the ICT in the nation's higher education system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a free word association test was used as a data collection instrument to determine biology student teachers' cognitive structure on the concept of "living thing" through revealing their conceptual framework.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the correlation among high school senior students' test anxiety, academic performance (GPA) and points of university entrance exam (UEE) and found significant reverse correlation between test anxiety and GPA.
