How are we doing with student-centered learning facilitated by educational technologies? A systematic review of literature reviews

A student-centered approach using modern technologies in distance learning: a systematic review of the literature

“…Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses have attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of a variety of educational technologies in creating learning environments that are tailored to students' needs and interests. Shehata et al (2023) conducted a systematic review of literature reviews to assess the current state of student-centered learning facilitated using educational technology. Ochôa and Wise (2021) discuss the role of student-centered analytics in supporting the digital transformation of education.…”

“…In quantitative studies that use a coding scheme, data are presented in numerical form and are coded according to predetermined parameters or criteria, including coding for level of education (primary, secondary, high school, college, postgraduate), as indicated in several reviews (e.g. Shehata et al, 2023;Bremner et al, 2022;Khaldi et al, 2023). Qualitative research using a coding scheme focuses on the analysis of qualitative data; researchers use a coding scheme to identify key themes, concepts, and categories in the collected data.…”

Effectiveness of Practices and Applications of Student-Centered Teaching and Learning in Primary Schools: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Social constructivism extends the principles of constructivism to affirm that learning is best achieved through interactions with others in society: peers, teachers, and members of the broader community. For example, social constructivism-aligned student-centered learning facilitates social responsibility learning, student social skills learning, and service learning (Shehata et al, 2023). Cognitive psychology theories are another theoretical framework that supports student-centered learning.…”

“…Feedback passages and conferences imply that feedback is a dialogic process that requires constant communication, collaboration, and contact between educators and students. Feedback is more than giving information but rather is a multilayered and complex conversation that involves reflexivity, mirroring, and metacognition (Shehata et al, 2023). Thus, educators have feedback talks or conferences with students about their experience, best practices, goal setting, and ways to nurture and grow, allowing students to own their learning and become responsible for feedback.…”

“…Particularly, different research has demonstrated that students in student-centered classrooms could achieve better results in terms of their achievements in standardized tests, grades for courses, or results of subject-specific testing. For example, in the study of Shehata et al (2023), in the meta-analysis of student-centered learning effectiveness, multiple results were analyzed, and the authors concluded that "student-centered learning had a significant positive impact on academic achievement across the disciplines".…”
