Interdisciplinary Mathematics Education: A Systematic Review
interdisciplinary approach interdisciplinary research mathematics education stem education systematic review...
Research in mathematics education and interdisciplinarity is varied and extensive, covering multiple approaches that reflect a growing interest in this type of perspective. The objective of this study is to systematize the findings of research on interdisciplinary mathematics education published between 2019 and 2024. The review was carried out following the guidelines of the PRISMA statement, allowing us to identify 49 articles published in journals indexed in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases. Subsequently, a content analysis was carried out to identify methodological and theoretical aspects present in the studies reviewed, such as methodology employed, education level of participants, disciplines integrated with mathematics, and types of interdisciplinary tasks proposed. Additionally, four main research themes were identified: (a) understanding of interdisciplinarity; (b) pedagogical strategies for interdisciplinary development in mathematics education; (c) interdisciplinarity for the development of mathematical skills; and (d) professional development of mathematics teachers. The results reveal a sustained increase in the number of publications, which reflects a growing interest in the interdisciplinary approach in mathematics education. Finally, several challenges and opportunities are highlighted for future research, including the need to develop an interdisciplinary teacher training model, the creation of pedagogical strategies that promote greater interconnection between disciplines, and the need to carry out more studies focused on early childhood and primary education in this area.
Evaluating the Impact of Augmented Reality on Learning Outcomes in K-12 Special Education: A Systematic Review
augmented reality disability special education student engagement technology education...
This systematic review synthesizes research on the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in K–12 special education to evaluate its impact on learning outcomes and identify implementation trends, benefits, and challenges. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, a search of the Scopus, IEEE, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases on 20 March 2024 for English-language peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2024 yielded 16 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The analysis of these studies reveals a growing research interest, particularly after 2019, with a concentration of research in developing nations like Indonesia and Malaysia. The findings consistently show that AR technology interventions, predominantly targeting students with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through 3D objects and game-based applications, positively impact academic achievement, motivation, and skill development. Despite these promising outcomes, this review concludes that a significant gap remains between the technology's potential and its current practice, hindered by challenges such as high costs, technical complexity, and a narrow research focus. Therefore, future work should prioritize developing cost-effective, user-friendly AR technology and expanding research to include a wider range of disabilities and educational contexts to ensure equitable and effective access for all students.
Mapping the Scientific Landscape of the Flipped Classroom Model in K-12 Education During 2014-2024
bibliometric analysis flipped classroom general education...
This article aims to establish a research map of the flipped classroom (FC) model in general education for the period 2014-2024, exploring publication trends, influential authors, organizations, countries, and prominent research topics, while also identifying academic gaps in this field. The study focuses on three main aspects: (1) publication trends and influential authors, organizations, and countries; (2) key research topics and academic gaps; (3) international collaboration networks in FC research. The research employs a bibliometric analysis method, utilizing the Scopus database and the VOSviewer visualization tool, to synthesize information and identify research trends. The results indicate that research on FC in K-12 education increased sharply from 2019, reflecting the impact of digital transformation in education during and after Covid-19. The United States, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are the leading research centers. Authors such as Bergmann, Bishop, and Hew have been highly influential. Prominent research trends include self-regulated learning, learner satisfaction, gamification, and the application of artificial intelligence. The international collaboration network in this field is growing, with strong participation from institutions from Southeast Asia, including Vietnam. The study recommends expanding the scope of analysis beyond Scopus and using qualitative methods and systematic reviews to further evaluate the FC model. The research will provide policymakers, teachers, and researchers with useful evidence for improving programs, enhancing professional development, and promoting digital transformation in general education.
Factors Contributing to Higher Education Students' Acceptance of Artificial Intelligence: A Systematic Review
ai acceptance artificial intelligence higher education systematic review...
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the field of higher education is causing widespread public discourse. However, existing research is fragmented and lacks systematic synthesis, which limits understanding of how college and university students adopt artificial intelligence technologies. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review following the guidelines of the PRISMA statement, including studies from ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycARTICLES, SOC INDEX, and Embase databases. A total of 5594 articles were identified in the database search; 112 articles were included in the review. The criteria for inclusion in the review were: (i) publication date; (ii) language; (iii) participants; (iv) object of research. The results of the study showed: (a) The Technology Acceptance Model and the Unified Theory of Technology Acceptance and Use are most often used to explain the AI acceptance; (b) quantitative research methods prevail; (c) AI is mainly used by students to search and process information; (d) technological factors are the most significant factors of AI acceptance; (e) gender, specialty, and country of residence influence the AI acceptance. Finally, several problems and opportunities for future research are highlighted, including problems of psychological well-being, students’ personal and academic development, and the importance of financial, educational, and social support for students in the context of widespread artificial intelligence.
