Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With the in-depth research on embodied learning in educational psychology, technology-based embodied learning (TBEL) has gained widespread popularity in the field of education. However, the impact of TBEL on learning efficiency remains controversial. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of TBEL on learning efficiency and identify the main factors influencing this efficiency. The research method employed is a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of 44 relevant English papers published over the past decade. The study found that TBEL has a statistically significant positive effect on learning outcomes (SMD = 0.41, p < .01). Four moderators—educational level, subject, type of embodiment, and experiment duration—have significant moderating effects on learning outcomes. Therefore, technology-based embodied learning can effectively improve students' learning effectiveness. In the future, efforts should be made to deepen and expand multidimensional embodied learning, providing guidance and inspiration for global educational practices.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
