Keywords:
Learning management, 21st century, Meta-analysisAbstract
The purpose of this research were 1) to study the effect size of research studies on learning management that develops 21st century learning skills, 2) to study the characteristics of research studies influencing effect size of learning management that develops 21st century learning skills, publicized during 2008-2017, a total of 86 issues. The research instruments were quality evaluative forms and research characteristics coding forms. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, analysis of difference of means using forest plot and subgroup analysis.
The result of research synthesis were:
1. The research characteristics found that most research studies on learning management that develops 21st century learning skills were conducted by Chulalongkorn University (88.4 %) which was published in 2016 (17.4%). Most research studies were critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills (33.7%). Most innovation used teaching methods (91.9%). Most objectives were for research and development (61.1%). The instructional media were two-way instructional media (93.0%) and measurement and evaluation methods were testing (100%). The type of research hypothesis were mostly directional hypothesis (52.8%). The sample acquisition method was simple random sampling (100%). The research instrument was a test (100%). Most research studies collected data for 1-2 months (83.77%). Most statistic for data analysis was t-test (72.2%). The total quality of research reports was excellent (M = 4.50, SD = 0.65).
2. The key findings were as follows: 1) The total effect size of learning management that develops 21st century learning skills was 1.09. 2) The effect size of learning management that develops 21st century learning skills in each research had high heterogeneity with statistical significance at the .05 level (Q (85) = 648.51, p < .0001) 3) The characteristic of research influencing the effect size of learning management that develops 21st century learning skills was instruction.
