• Adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence in L2 Graduate Academic Writing in Higher Education: A Scoping Review of Current Status and Implications (2026) · doi

  Future research should examine GenAI adoption at graduate level across underrepresented regions such as Africa, South America, and Australia; employ more robust methodological designs, including experimental and longitudinal studies; and explore the impact of GenAI on actual writing outcomes through document analysis.

• The Impact of Artificial Intelligence–Driven Social Media on Educational Opportunities and Curriculum Effectiveness in Higher Education (2026) · doi

  The widespread use of cross-sectional research designs restricts temporal inference, prevents longitudinal validation of learning trajectories, and limits the examination of sustained academic and cognitive development outcomes.

• The Impact of Artificial Intelligence–Driven Social Media on Educational Opportunities and Curriculum Effectiveness in Higher Education (2026) · doi

  Future research should employ longitudinal designs to validate learning trajectories and examine sustained academic and cognitive development outcomes over extended periods.

• Parents and community agency in early childhood education and development in rural Ghana: towards an indigenous home-based early learning model (2026) · doi

  The research did not employ ethnographic or creative methodological approaches to document indigenous play-based pedagogies; future studies should adopt ethnographic and creative research methods to more comprehensively document, validate, and characterize the specific indigenous play pedagogies practiced in rural communities, complementing the initial insights from this parent-perspective study.
