While research has linked teacher belonging to increased resilience, job satisfaction, and organisational commitment, limited systematic understanding exists regarding how to foster belonging specifically among ECTs who face unique transitional challenges into the profession. This scoping review aims to synthesise findings regarding the factors that positively contribute to ECTs’ sense of belonging in their workplaces applying a socio-ecological lens. Four comprehensive electronic database searches yielded 4998 studies that were systematically reviewed to identify relevant research. The PRISMA-ScR guidelines were used, yielding 31 studies that met eligibility requirements. Forty-one factors were identified as contributing to sense of belonging in ECTs. Thematic analysis generated four key themes regarding the factors that contribute to ECTs belonging to their workplace. Key findings suggest that teacher collaboration, relationships with colleagues, supporting ECTs through their early-career journey, and getting ECTs involved in school decision making are critical areas to boost sense of belonging. These findings provide a starting point for future research to explore the empirical relationships between these factors and teacher belonging to guide interventions, strategies, and policies that can address teacher burnout and attrition rates globally.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48125,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research Review","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100700"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144241543","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}

It employed three-level meta-analysis to synthesize findings from 88 primary studies (2008–2024) on associations between digital parenting (positive mediation, negative mediation, co-use, general digital parenting) and children's digital wellbeing (positive, negative, digital use). The study is original in the comprehensive examination of associations between the different types of digital parenting and children's digital wellbeing. There are three sets of results. First, digital parenting was negatively associated with children's negative digital wellbeing. The magnitude of association between digital parenting and children's negative digital wellbeing was the largest for co-use, followed by positive and negative mediation. Second, digital parenting was not associated overall with children's positive digital wellbeing or digital use. However, the association between digital parenting and children's positive digital wellbeing was stronger for positive mediation than negative mediation or co-use. Types of digital parenting did not moderate the association between digital parenting and children's digital use. Third, there were some significant moderator effects for children's sex, geographical regions, data sources for digital parenting and children's digital wellbeing, and cross-sectional/longitudinal research designs. The study advances theory by providing evidence that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to digital parenting for comprehensively enhancing children's digital wellbeing. It also emphasizes the need for researchers to differentiate among different types of children's digital wellbeing that are influenced by digital parenting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48125,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research Review","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100699"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144241541","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 effectiveness of learning prompts is further moderated by the learning domain and target group. Our findings reveal that prompts are not a universal solution but require thoughtful implementation. We recommend implementing action-based prompts triggered by learner behavior, using log data to tailor prompts to expertise levels. Designers should keep prompts concise to minimize cognitive load. We advise combining generic and directed prompts based on learning goals. Finally, it is essential to ensure learners are familiar with prompt use.

For example, they are used in educational diagnostics to inform long-term placement decisions and are an important criterion in large-scale educational monitoring. Findings on the rank-order stability of students' school achievement are highly relevant to educational research and practice. While low stability undermines the validity of using academic achievement for diagnostic purposes, near-perfect stability may indicate insufficient educational mobility. However, the rank-order stability of school achievement is very rarely studied explicitly. Therefore, we know little about the conditions under which this stability is higher or lower. The present meta-analysis of longitudinal studies reports the rank-order stability of teacher-assigned school marks and school achievement tests. A total of 1990 test-retest correlation coefficients were compiled, involving 740,610 individual participants from 363 longitudinal studies. The mean rank-order stability, estimated for Grade 5 and a test-retest interval of two years, was <em>ρ</em> = .70 (95 % CI: .69, .72). Stability was lower for school marks (<em>ρ</em> = .67) than achievement tests (<em>ρ</em> = .72). Stability remained relatively constant across grade levels and decreased with increasing test-retest interval. The decrease in stability with increasing interval was greater for school marks than for achievement tests: Both indicators were comparably stable in very short intervals, but achievement test results were much more stable in the long-term.

In the wake of the recent surge in EMI research, more research synthesis is needed to understand how these factors interact to influence EMI success rather than focusing solely on their isolated, bivariate relationships. To address this gap, we conducted meta-analytic structural equation modelling (MASEM) to examine the structural relationships among the key factors affecting the success of EMI. Synthesising data from 50 studies (N = 15,032), our analysis demonstrates that learners’ engagement and English proficiency are pivotal for both content and language learning, with English proficiency being more important for language learning outcomes, although itself considerably also influenced by learners’ anxiety and motivation. Additionally, the moderator analysis shows that learner engagement plays a more significant role in partial EMI contexts, leading to our recommendation for differentiated institutional support in full and partial EMI settings. However, owing to the limited availability of correlation coefficients, some key factors and moderators were excluded, prompting the need for further empirical research to explore these relationships in greater depth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48125,"journal":{"name":"Educational Research Review","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 100684"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843165","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}
