Vernacular Traditions, Culture, Rituals & Architecture
Ahmedabad is a UNESCO World Heritage city, located in Gujarat. On the eastern side of the Sabarmati River of the city, there are mills of the textile owners depicting architecture enriched by culture and traditions. The merchants, workers and mill owners had set up markets and their houses along the narrow lanes of the city. Known as Pol houses, they are long linear houses and havelis which have internal courtyards responding to the hot and humid…
A study of meta-analyses reporting quality in the large and expanding literature of educational technology
As the empirical literature in educational technology continues to grow, meta-analyses are increasingly being used to synthesise research to inform practice. However, not all meta-analyses are equal. To examine their evolution over the past 30 years, this study systematically analysed the quality of 52 meta-analyses (1988–2017) on educational technology. Methodological and reporting quality is defined here as the completeness of the descriptive a…
Examining the Factors Influencing the Persistence of Students in Distance Education
The objective of the paper is to examine the factors that determine the persistence of learners in distance education. It also gives attention to finding out the influence of intrinsic factors, institutional factors, motivating factors and curtailing factors of students who pursue their graduation programmes through the distance education mode on their persistence to continue the programme. The sample has been taken from a diverse student populat…
Strategies for Teaching Students to Think Critically
Critical thinking (CT) is purposeful, self-regulatory judgment that results in interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference, as well as explanations of the considerations on which that judgment is based. This article summarizes the available empirical evidence on the impact of instruction on the development and enhancement of critical thinking skills and dispositions and student achievement. The review includes 341 effects sizes drawn from…
Use of research-based information by school practitioners and determinants of use
The trend towards using research knowledge to improve policies and practices is on the rise. However, despite considerable effort and notable progress in recent years, it seems that school practitioners continue to make little use of research and it is not clear what conditions would facilitate or obstruct this use. This review focuses exclusively on the available empirical1 research about (a) the use of research by school practitioners and (b) t…
Megalithic monumentality in Africa
The World Heritage Site of Wanar in Senegal features 21 stone circles, remarkable not least because they were erected in the twelfth and thirteenth century AD, when Islam ruled the Indian Ocean and Europe was in its Middle Ages. The state of preservation has benefited the exemplary investigation currently carried out by a French-Senegalese team, which we are pleased to report here. The site began as a burial ground to which monumental stones were…
What Forty Years of Research Says About the Impact of Technology on Learning
This research study employs a second-order meta-analysis procedure to summarize 40 years of research activity addressing the question, does computer technology use affect student achievement in formal face-to-face classrooms as compared to classrooms that do not use technology? A study-level meta-analytic validation was also conducted for purposes of comparison. An extensive literature search and a systematic review process resulted in the inclus…
Issues in conducting and disseminating brief reviews of evidence
A brief review of evidence is limited in time and/or scope compared to a comprehensive review. However, brief reviews are important not only in meeting the needs of policy makers and practitioners, but also in providing students and researchers with an overview of the evidence. In this paper we summarise and evaluate alternative methods for brief reviews, including: using strict inclusion criteria; reviewing only a sample of evidence and eliminat…
Instructional Interventions Affecting Critical Thinking Skills and Dispositions
Critical thinking (CT), or the ability to engage in purposeful, self-regulatory judgment, is widely recognized as an important, even essential, skill. This article describes an ongoing meta-analysis that summarizes the available empirical evidence on the impact of instruction on the development and enhancement of critical thinking skills and dispositions. We found 117 studies based on 20,698 participants, which yielded 161 effects with an average…
Affecting policy and practice
English In this article we explore issues in developing an Argument Catalogue as a tool to compile evidence systematically on a topic of interest. A recent review is used to illustrate the steps in undertaking the development of an Argument Catalogue from multiple sources. An Argument Catalogue codebook, which provides categories and values that can be applied in order to classify conjectures, opinions, concerns and expert judgements, is also dev…
Children's Perception of Television Time
160 children (ages 4 to 13 yr.) in eight age categories were questioned about their understanding of the techniques used to manipulate time on television. Previous cognitive-developmental work suggested that children's understanding of certain television concepts, such as advertising intent, cartoon reality, and production knowledge, increases with age. Based both on the findings of these studies and on theory related to the development of the ti…
