In modern education nowadays, the use of game-based learning as a teaching and learning method is popular in all school subjects, including mathematics. There are numerous studies dealing with the influences of this teaching method on the students’ achievements. Modern teaching theories consider an important effect of education on the development of students’ affective domain, connected with the subject and its teaching. In this work, the author studies journal articles that the use game-based learning in mathematics to assess its effects on the students, with the aim to analyze its impact on students’ affective domain. To achieve this, a systematic review with the use of a PRISMA statement is applied. The data sources are 57 journal articles from the area of interest listed in the Web of Sciences and Scopus. The results indicate that 54% of the articles consider the affective domain in the measurement of the effects of game-based learning in mathematics education. These articles report mostly (84%) the positive influences of game-based learning on students’ motivation, engagement, attitudes, enjoyment, state of flow, etc. The rest of the articles show mixed results, with the authors’ conclusions possibly affected by flaws in the research instruments, selection of study groups, and game design, therefore, stressing the importance of these elements in future research on this topic.

Alongside the increased presence of students classified as English learners (ELs) in mathematics classrooms exists a persistent pattern of the marginalization of ELs. Educators have sought research to identify how to provide ELs with high-quality mathematics education. Over the past two decades, education researchers have responded with increased attention to issues related to the teaching and learning of mathematics with ELs. In this review we analyzed literature published between 2000 and 2015 on mathematics teaching and learning with K–12 ELs. We identified 75 peer-reviewed, empirical studies related to the teaching and learning of mathematics with ELs in Grades K–12 and categorized the studies by focus (Learning, Teaching, and Teacher Education). We synthesize the results of these studies through the lens of a sociocultural perspective on language in mathematics. We then discuss avenues for future research and calls to action based on the extant body of literature.

AbstractAlgorithmic decision-making is becoming increasingly common as a new source of advice in HR recruitment and HR development. While firms implement algorithmic decision-making to save costs as well as increase efficiency and objectivity, algorithmic decision-making might also lead to the unfair treatment of certain groups of people, implicit discrimination, and perceived unfairness. Current knowledge about the threats of unfairness and (implicit) discrimination by algorithmic decision-making is mostly unexplored in the human resource management context. Our goal is to clarify the current state of research related to HR recruitment and HR development, identify research gaps, and provide crucial future research directions. Based on a systematic review of 36 journal articles from 2014 to 2020, we present some applications of algorithmic decision-making and evaluate the possible pitfalls in these two essential HR functions. In doing this, we inform researchers and practitioners, offer important theoretical and practical implications, and suggest fruitful avenues for future research.

Abstract Despite increasing interest related to the role of graduate students in economic and social development, science policy scholars have overlooked the role of stress and its broader impact on the conduct of science. To motivate future empirical research, this study systematically reviews the literature on antecedents and impact of stress among graduate students, examining thirty-four journal articles published from 2000 to 2018. We find that not only do multiple definitions of stress exist, but also that scholars have neglected broader theoretical implications and comparative dimensions of the phenomenon. While this outcome can be explained partially by the paucity of different national and disciplinary perspectives, these factors nonetheless hinder the design and implementation of effective interventions that can help graduate students reduce and manage stress levels and thus improve the conduct of science. We introduce a conceptual model of our findings and discuss implications for future research and policy.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to systematically collate and scrutinize the state of the art on consumer cosmopolitanism (CCOS) from an international marketing perspective and to provide a foundation for future research on the subject matter to proliferate and prosper.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review of the extant literature was conducted focusing on peer-reviewed journal articles published in major marketing, international business and management journals.FindingsA systematic analysis of 44 journal articles shows that CCOS research is a rapidly growing research stream in the international marketing field. However, at the same time, the results reveal a lack of coherent and consistent conceptual underpinning, conflicting empirical findings regarding the profile and behavior of cosmopolitan consumers, persisting knowledge gaps, as well as methodological and contextual weaknesses.Originality/valueThis paper is the first to consolidate the pertinent literature on CCOS. In doing so, it provides a roadmap for future research with reference to theory, context and methodology based on the research inconsistencies and knowledge gaps identified, contributing toward the development of this research area.

Background and Purpose Early supported discharge (ESD) post stroke has been demonstrated as a cost-effective strategy for provision of rehabilitation to eligible patients. However, consensus on which patients are best-suited for ESD has yet to be established. This systematic review was designed to retrieve information on patients included in all published, peer-reviewed literature pertaining to ESD for post-stroke rehabilitation with the goal of identifying common criteria used to infer candidacy for ESD. Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed in three electronic databases (Medline, Embase, CINAHL) for peer-reviewed journal articles evaluating ESD for post-stroke rehabilitation published between January 1980 and September 2010. Research studies were considered if 1) they only included patients with primary diagnosis of stroke 2) the intervention under study was outpatient or community-based rehabilitation (ESD) as an alternative to in-hospital rehabilitation and 3) inclusion/ exclusion criteria and/or patient data at time of discharge to the community were reported. Information about study design, inclusion/exclusion criteria, discharge patient data and study results were collected. Results In total, 612 journal articles were screened and 20 were included for further assessment. No consensus on ESD suitability could be derived from the identified studies. Interventions under study ranged from organized in-home rehabilitation to “hospital at home” where therapy was provided by family members. On average, 34.7% (13%-70%) of patients screened for ESD candidacy were identified as suitable, but little consistency in screening procedures or criteria were noted. Recruitment generally took place within the first week post stroke but extended to as many as 4 weeks post stroke, while the average day of discharge into an ESD program ranged from 1 to as many as 42 days post stroke. Nine articles reported information about patient’s functional level within 48 hours of discharge to ESD, however, 27 different measures of patient function were reported. Conclusions Most research to date suggests that ESD is an effective strategy for providing rehabilitation to patients post-stroke. However, based on current research it is not possible to derive definitive criteria by which candidates for ESD can be identified. Future research is warranted.

The goal of this study is to provide a systematic review of empirically based journal articles published between 2006 and 2016 that address intimate partner violence (IPV) among Asian communities in the United States. We analyzed 57 peer-reviewed journal articles published in English. Most studies employed quantitative research designs that were cross-sectional in nature and focused on examining the statistical relationships between variables. Sociodemographic variables were the most frequently used variables to predict IPV, while health outcome variables were the most frequently used variables caused by IPV. Theoretical frameworks, methodology, and policy implications used in other studied were discussed in depth. Based on the findings of our study, we recommended future research avenues that can fill the gap in scholarly journal articles investigating the Asian communities.

Abstract: A review of research on children’s development of spatial reasoning in  a preschool setting 1995-2010. This study reviews 16 journal articles, books and theses on spatial reasoning in early childhood mathematics education. The data was collected by way of systematical search in several major databases and relevant digital and non-digital journals. The article gives a brief presentation of the main findings and the different methods used and, if applicable, the authors’ focus on didactics in both method and analysis. When it comes  to children’s mathematical learning processes, a main focus for a majority of studies is children’s use of constructional play material. When it comes to preschool teachers’ work with spatial reasoning, most  studies focus on the teachers’ planned and spontaneous communication with the children. The article then goes on to discuss these findings in relation to the Norwegian Framework Plan for Kindergartens. It seems like future research on the teachers’ use of material, on their work with visualization and orientation, and on their general focus on spatial reasoning could gain curriculum practise. Sammendrag: Denne oversiktsartikkelen gir en presentasjon av 16 internasjonale forskningsarbeider som ser på barns romforståelse i en barnehagekontekst. Arbeidene består av 14 vitenskapelige artikler, en bok og en doktorgrad, og disse ble funnet gjennom systematiske søk i flere større databaser og relevante digitale og analoge tidsskrift. Artikkelen gir en kort presentasjon av de ulike arbeidenes metode, hovedfunn og didaktiske vinkling. Når det gjelder barns utvikling av romforståelse har en majoritet av studiene fokus på hvordan dette kan belyses ved å studere og stimulere barns konstruksjonslek. For de studiene som ser på pedagogens rolle i arbeid med romforståelse legges det mest vekt på kommunikasjon, både planlagt og spontan kommunikasjon. Oversiktsartikkelen drøfter deretter hvilken betydning disse arbeidene kan ha for arbeidet med romforståelse i norske barnehager. Det kan se ut som at videre forskning bør vektlegge barnehagelærerens bruk av materiell, hvordan man planlegger arbeid med visualisering og orientering, og hvordan et økt fokus på romforståelse kan støtte barnehagelærerens arbeid med å iverksette den norske rammeplanens intensjoner på området.

Abstract Maintaining independence and quality of life (QOL) is a primary goal for adults. To support this goal, assistive and interactive technology (AIT) has been implemented to improve function and mitigate disease. To assess AIT effect on QOL in community-dwelling persons with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a systematic review was performed, and articles were prepared for meta-analysis. Electronic database searches were carried out in PubMed, Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsychINFO, and Web of Knowledge/Web of Science. Peer-reviewed journal articles published in English between January 2010 and February 2020 were included in the search. Studies investigated personal AIT use aimed at improving QOL (i.e. satisfaction/mood, functional ability, psychological/social function, independence). Technology was implemented in the home in everyday life. Studies were limited to those including community-dwelling participants aged 65+ with a diagnosis or report of MCI or dementia. Initial search resulted in 2624 total titles. After duplicate deletion, 1546 unique articles were identified. After title and abstract deletion, 60 articles were screened at full-text. After full-text screening, five usable articles remained. Usable studies presented: 1) a digital tablet companion, 2) a digital reminder calendar, 3) a medication-adherence bottle, 4) an automatic medication dispenser, and 5) a comprehensive tele-care computer system. These studies provide outcome measures focused on functional improvement and/or subjective QOL, informing future research in AIT implementation. Additionally, the severe paucity of applicable studies indicates a need for increased primary research on intersections between dementia and technology in the home environment.

This research reviews and analyzes prior corporate social responsibility (CSR) studies centered on its implications and disclosure in higher education institutions (HEIs). Nine major databases were analyzed to review research articles from various business, management, higher education, and accounting journals for the period of 2004–2020. We follow the seven-step systematic review guidelines developed by Fink 2019 and we base our review analysis on fifty-eight journal articles. The systematic literature review results show a significant increase in the number of CSR article publications and the extent and trend of disclosure. The majority of prior research was based on questionnaires to evaluate the HEIs curriculum and focus on the CSR implication process. However, HEIs are still lagging behind in CSR implication and disclosure, and with a long way to go to obtain sustainability goals. From the study, several opportunities for future research emerged. This study can be useful for HEIs policymakers and practitioners to access the usefulness of CSR implications and disclosures in HEIs. In addition, this analysis assists scholars to explore in-depth the uncovered points related to CSR in HEIs context. This is the first systematic review of CSR implications and disclosures that comprehensively covers higher education institutions as a sector and presents a reference for academic literature from 2004 to 2020.
