While a growing body of literature reports anecdotal or correlational evidence of GenAI's educational potential, rigorous causal evaluations remain limited. To bridge this gap, this study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental studies investigating the effect of GenAI on learning outcomes. Following PRISMA guidelines, we screened five academic databases and identified 68 relevant studies published between 2022 and 2025. These studies yielded a total of 337 effect sizes across various educational levels, subject domains, and instructional contexts. The meta-analysis revealed a moderate overall positive effect of GenAI on learning outcomes (SMD = 0.45, 95 % CI [0.43, 0.47]), suggesting that GenAI-supported interventions are generally more effective than traditional instruction. However, substantial heterogeneity was observed across studies (I<sup>2</sup> = 95 %), indicating that the magnitude of GenAI's impact varies significantly depending on contextual and methodological factors. Moderator analyses revealed stronger effects in primary and secondary education, within natural science disciplines, and in short-term interventions with smaller sample sizes. These patterns point to both the promise and the complexity of GenAI integration in educational practice. In conclusion, while GenAI shows considerable promise for enhancing learning outcomes, its true potential will only be realized through sustained, efforts to evaluate how, when, and for whom these technologies work best in diverse learning ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48125,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research Review","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100714"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144829324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review aimed to comprehensively examine and describe the frameworks (198 studies), and conceptual distinctions and characteristics (48 studies) used in research on goal setting and goal orientation in the context of higher education since 2018. The studies selected for analysis had to discuss students’ learning process, address goal setting and goal orientation, and be published in academic journals in English. Goal-setting theory was the most frequently used for the goal-setting concept, while achievement goal theory (2 × 2 model) dominated for goal orientation. Summative content analysis revealed that goal-setting frameworks primarily emphasised the concept of the goal itself, including its structure, goal commitment, implementation intentions, and the processes leading to goal achievement. In contrast, goal orientation frameworks delved deeper into the underlying motivations driving goal pursuit, exploring related attitudes, addressing specific educational objectives and strategies, emotional factors, and the detailed standards individuals set for their outcomes. Because these theories are complementary, we propose an integrated goal setting and orientation (IGSO) theory, which can help in studying and understanding how motivation for goal pursuit is connected with the setting, monitoring and evaluation of goals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48125,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research Review","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100709"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144621788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter question includes three sub-questions, focusing on research methods, theoretical grounding and types of classroom approaches. The results from the review show an increased research interest in critical thinking in primary schools since 2017, especially in language education and science education. The publications were unevenly geographically distributed. The bulk of them were conducted in grades 4–6, with grades 1–2 representing the lowest number. A variety of theoretical approaches were represented, but several studies lacked a firm theoretical grounding in critical thinking theory. Through an inductive analysis, classroom approaches were categorised as textual, dialogic, digital or practical. Through the review, we show that the careful selection of subject content that can activate students in critical dialogue can be a fruitful approach to developing young learners’ critical thinking skills to foster well-rounded thinkers with a critical spirit.

This scoping review synthesizes knowledge regarding the impact of various educational activities on PIF within SSH programs. A comprehensive search identified 63 relevant studies. Educational activities within SSH programs were observed to contribute to PIF across three settings: classrooms and coursework, real-life projects, and internships. Three student outcomes emerged through which these activities impact PIF: formation of images of professions, experiential learning in professional contexts, and self-reflection on professional positioning. However, the fact that SSH disciplines typically are less clearly connected to specific professions, compared to medical and teaching education, complicates PIF. Furthermore, substantial variation between disciplines exists within SSH disciplines as well. The article presents a model that helps to understand how the relationship between activities enhancing professional identity (PI) and student outcomes depends on context. The model builds on the assumption that the application and effects of PI-enhancing activities can be assessed using four parameters: learning environment, student role, relevance of knowledge and support. These parameters are embedded within configurations connecting education and professional field that vary according to discipline, educational stage, professional requirements, faculty attributes, and individual student conditions. This preliminary model warrants validation through further research and holds potential to inform research and curriculum design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48125,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research Review","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100704"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144621790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
