Trends and Topics in Educational Technology, 2026 Edition
In this continuation of a series, we provide an analysis of scholarship trends over the last five years in the field of educational technology, drawing from the Scopus and ERIC databases. We report an analysis of the keywords reported for articles during this timeframe, including trends about which keywords are rising or falling in importance. We also report the top-cited papers, scholars, and institutions. Finally, we share findings about the im…
Digital Gaming and English L2 Informal Learning in Adolescents
Background While the educational benefits of gaming on language are increasingly recognized, the precise effects of gaming as a function of important factors such as gender and game genre as well as potential nonlinear effects remain unclear. Methods High school students’ (N = 125, ages 16-18), gaming habits, English L2 achievement and self-concepts were measured and modelled using path analysis. Results Gender differences were observed. The line…
Seeking effective school and family supports for adolescents' curiosity in learning
BACKGROUND: Curiosity in learning is a driving force for students' knowledge acquisition and academic achievement, yet its declining trend during adolescence has been observed across multiple countries. AIMS: This study aimed to identify key supports for adolescents' learning curiosity across countries by examining the associations of learning curiosity with psychological need-based supports from family and school and further comparing the effect…
Distinct Social Factors Are Linked to Epistemic Curiosity and Digital Information‐Seeking Among Adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Curiosity, the intrinsic motivation to sense, know, and experience the unknown, plays important roles in adolescent achievement and well-being. Theoretical considerations and empirical research suggest the contribution of social relationships in fostering curiosity. However, curiosity is expressed in different forms and contexts. Here, we investigated the social predictors of general epistemic curiosity, and of different forms of di…
Negative Self-Concept
Academic self-concept, the belief in one’s ability, is a key motivational construct in educational psychology and large-scale assessments. The construct is typically measured by instruments with positively (“I usually do well in science”) and negatively worded items (“I am just not good in science”). A single latent factor is often assumed. Here, we investigated this assumption using international large-scale assessment data across two age groups…

Accounting for the Concreteness and Neighborhood Effects in a High Frequency Word List for Poor Readers
Some poor readers show little or no progress in literacy interventions as their susceptibility to the concreteness and neighborhood effect is not accounted for during intervention. This study aims to develop a resource for poor readers by revising the Dolch list to account for the concreteness and neighborhood (orthographic, phonological and semantic) effect. Psycholinguistic techniques were employed to recategorize 220 Dolch list words according…
Many-Dimensional Model of Adolescent School Enjoyment
There is an emerging, many-dimensional model of human functioning that has yet to be rigorously tested in adolescent psychopathology. The model is based, in part, on research suggesting stronger predictive power at the level of single items compared to the commonly used smaller number of higher-level constructs represented by scores or factors. Here, the model is tested in research relevant for the understanding how psychopathology relates to ado…
Emotions and lifelong learning
Research in disparate fields of education, psychology and neuroscience suggests that emotions play a central role in learning. We critically examine research at the intersection of emotions, adult learning and neuroscience. First, we review studies in the IJLE related to emotions and adult learning. In particular, we focus on the impact of an IJLE publication that argued using neuroscience research for the important role of emotions in transforma…
