Long-term educational outcomes
Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.
The gap
The studies collectively identify a need for longitudinal assessments of sustained engagement and long-term retention of learning outcomes in various digital and interactive educational interventions targeting different populations.
Consensus across the literature
Papers leave open the assessment of long-term effects on student engagement and knowledge retention beyond initial testing periods.
