Despite extensive research and policy interest, no prior review has integrated evidence across the broad set of factors linked to interactive skills of individual caregivers in early childhood education and care (ECEC). This preregistered systematic review and meta-analysis examined factors associated with observer-rated interactive skills of child-care professionals in formal ECEC settings for children up to 6.0 years. A systematic search was conducted across five databases (ERIC, PsycINFO, PubMed, SocINDEX, Web of Science), and study quality was assessed using the Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies. A three-level random effects model was applied to estimate effect sizes. Across 57 eligible studies, 70 factors associated with caregiver interactive skills were identified; 41 studies contributed data for meta-analysis, yielding 13 factors for quantitative synthesis. Structural factors significantly associated with higher levels of interactive skills included higher caregiver education (<italic>r</italic> = .21), smaller group sizes (<italic>r</italic> = − .20), lower child-caregiver ratios (<italic>r</italic> = − .13), and higher salaries (<italic>r</italic> = .22).

(2025b) defended their original models as valid modeling approaches. They further proposed time-reversal tests, which they interpreted as contradicting the REM. In this new comment, we adopt a more pedagogical approach to resolve these misunderstandings. First, we explain in details why the models in Sorjonen et al. (2025a) are difficult to reconcile with several principles of structural equation modeling, by yielding improper solutions, impossible or confounded model parameters, untested temporal structures, and omitted adjustments that limit the interpretability of reciprocal effects. Second, we further explain why the renewed claims of validity in Sorjonen et al. (2025b) extend these issues by mobilizing simulation studies that do not align with the models at stake. Third, we demonstrate that their time-reversal testing repeated some of these issues and that a rectified version yields results consistent with predictions based on the REM (<ext-link ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https://osf.io/ry6p3/overview?view_only=2af2bc8cd4694433b9024eb2577451b6\">https://osf.io/ry6p3/overview?view_only=2af2bc8cd4694433b9024eb2577451b6</ext-link>).

Research has also shown that students’ sense of belonging is a situated, malleable construct that can fluctuate throughout the school day. This narrative review examines how the dynamic nature of belonging interacts with the complex consideration of adolescent Black and Latine students’ ethnicity, race, and culture within the context of mathematics. We advance three considerations for researchers when investigating and supporting the belonging experiences of Black and Latine students within mathematics: Contextual Factors that Shape Sense of Belonging to Mathematics, Positionality and Framing of Investigations of Belonging, and Recognizing the Whole Student. By critically examining the educational contexts in which Black and Latine adolescent students engage with mathematics, alongside the prevailing frameworks and assumptions adopted in research studies, researchers are more likely to adopt a holistic perspective toward these students. Consequently, this approach fosters the production of research findings that affirm and enhance, rather than undermine, Black and Latine students’ sense of belonging within mathematical learning environments.

While artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities for supporting SRL through feedback, its efficacy remains controversial. A three-level meta-analysis of 85 articles (<italic>k</italic> = 387; <italic>N</italic> = 9,564) published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted. The results demonstrated a significant, medium-sized positive effect of AI feedback on students’ SRL (<italic>g</italic> = 0.509). Dimension-specific analyses revealed that effects were stronger for the motivational and cognitive dimensions, but comparatively weaker for behavioral and metacognitive outcomes. Notably, the wide 95% prediction interval [-0.661, 1.678] indicates substantial heterogeneity, suggesting that AI feedback effects are conditional rather than uniformly beneficial. Hierarchical multilevel meta-regression identified feedback source and AI technology type as primary drivers of between-study heterogeneity. AI-led feedback yielded larger effect sizes than human-AI hybrid feedback, and generative AI dialogue systems and intelligent tutoring systems demonstrated stronger effects than non-generative AI dialogue systems and learning analytics systems. Feedback modality and academic subject yielded marginally significant or dimension-specific differences. Additionally, within-category analyses indicated that the effects of generative AI dialogue systems were not significantly moderated across conditions, with the exception of a marginal effect for feedback modality. However, within the learning analytics systems group, the study design demonstrated a significant moderating role. Overall, these findings not only quantify the efficacy of AI feedback on SRL outcomes, but also delineate its boundary conditions, offering empirically grounded implications to instructors, designers, and researchers.","PeriodicalId":48344,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology Review","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variety of ways in which prompts are designed and labelled across education result in conceptual and terminological inconsistencies that make it difficult to integrate research findings. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced a new dominant meaning of the term “prompt” that complicates the discoverability of relevant literature. To address these challenges, we propose a guiding framework that conceptualizes digital prompts as dynamic scaffolds and characterizes their instructional design through a typology of content, function, presentation, and source. Using a bibliometric approach, we analyzed 1,238 publications to examine how well this framework captures the structure of the field. We identified 283 distinct prompt labels, most of which were used in only one publication. The mapping of these labels onto the proposed typology led to a refined understanding of prompt design characteristics. Furthermore, we examined co-occurrences between labels and identified research topics and citation practices. The resulting patterns revealed two major research clusters centered on metacognitive and self-explanation prompts, which structure much of the literature. However, these two clusters lack integration. We show how these separate research traditions can be integrated into our framework of dynamic scaffolding through prompts. Finally, we demonstrate how our typology of prompt types can foster greater terminological coherence and improve search strategies in the age of AI.","PeriodicalId":48344,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review followed PRISMA guidelines and searched six databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest). A qualitative synthesis of 69 identified studies revealed that differences in associations between EFs and reading were shaped by the nature of the EF tasks (i.e., targeted domain, task paradigm, scoring method) and differences in reading assessments (i.e., targeted skill, format). Sixty studies (yielding 275 effect sizes) met criteria for meta-analysis, revealing significant associations between EF and reading outcomes, with updating showing the largest descriptive association. This review highlights that while EFs are related to reading, their associations vary by measurement approach.

While some meet these demands with ease, others face ongoing challenges that can hinder their academic success. Research has identified four key concepts in this area: executive functions (EF), metacognition (MC), self-regulation (SR) and self-regulated learning (SRL). Although these constructs are conceptually related, they have often been examined in isolation due to disciplinary and methodological divides, resulting in fragmented accounts that obscure their dynamic interplay. This review addresses this issue by providing a comparative overview of EF, MC, SR and SRL in terms of their definitions, how they are operationalised and the research designs used. Based on this synthesis, we introduce the EMERGE model, which positions these constructs along a continuum ranging from more biologically grounded mechanics (e.g., EF) to more culturally shaped pragmatics (e.g., strategy knowledge in SRL). The model highlights both shared mechanisms and distinct functions and conceptualises SR in learning situations as an integrative construct. Building on this framework, we propose two guiding hypotheses: the stage-setting hypothesis, which emphasises long-term developmental interplay; and the compensatory hypothesis, which focuses on short-term interactions that predict learning outcomes. Together, these perspectives highlight the need for longitudinal, experimental, and hybrid designs to capture developmental and dynamic processes. The EMERGE model thus aims to bridge fragmented research traditions, improve diagnostics, and inform interventions that effectively support students in meeting the growing demands of self-regulated and adaptive learning.","PeriodicalId":48344,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology Review","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
