The present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the current state of research in relation to STEAM education for gifted students in elementary school. This study was conducted as a systematic review to analyze (1) how STEAM education is used for gifted students, (2) opportunities and challenges in this type of education, and (3) the impact of STEAM education implementation on the progress of gifted students. A search was conducted in reputative databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and Wiley for articles published from 2010 to 2023. After the initial screening steps, among the 634 extracted articles, finally 17 articles were selected according to the research criteria. In this review, various dimensions including methods, participants, data collection tools, and research fields have been examined. The results of the research reveal that STEAM education can play an important role in promoting the learning and ability of elementary gifted students, and despite various challenges, there are various opportunities to strengthen it in the future.

This study conducts a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines to explore music education for gifted and talented students. The research aims to delineate the identification methodologies, educational strategies, relevant technologies, prevailing challenges, and constructive recommendations within the ambit of gifted and talented education. A comprehensive systematic search yielded a dataset of 1,464 articles, from which 37 were selected for detailed analysis based on stringent criteria. The analysis reveals a rich tapestry of research in the domain, showcasing a variety of approaches to identifying and educating musically gifted and talented students. Despite the breadth of research and the diversity of methods applied, the field lacks a unified, standardized model. The integration of appropriate technologies has been shown to significantly enhance creative thought, social, and emotional skills among these students. However, the research identifies several challenges, including time management, the need for continuous improvement, and various physical and financial constraints. To address these issues, the study proposes several recommendations: the adoption of innovative technologies to foster creativity and motivation; specialized training for educators to effectively utilize these technologies; the development of adaptable curricular frameworks and models; the implementation of inventive music projects; and fostering collaborations with music professionals. These recommendations aim to enrich the educational landscape for gifted and talented students, ensuring a nurturing environment that promotes their exceptional abilities.

The aim of the research was to investigate the achievements of educational robotics studies. This applied study was conducted with a qualitative approach and a systematic review method. Valid documents and researches of the last ten years were used as the research community, which was determined using purposeful sampling based on the rule of theoretical saturation of the sample size. In this way, valid domestic and foreign articles in the period from 2013 to 2023 were searched using the keywords educational robotics, educational robotics, and social robotics. In the initial search, 930 articles were identified, of which only 25 articles were eligible. Data analysis resulted in the extraction of 4 main themes and 21 secondary themes. The main topics included: definitions and concepts of educational robotics, components of educational robotics, opportunities of educational robotics and challenges of educational robotics. In general, the definitions of educational robotics included: robotics as an interdisciplinary field, a powerful educational tool, a tool for developing 21st century skills, preparation for future jobs, and an independent curriculum. Also, the components of educational robotics included: robot, hardware, software, educational materials, teacher and educational environment. The opportunities of educational robotics also included: overall effectiveness of educational robotics, professional development of teachers, creativity and motivation, diversity and expansion of participation. The challenges of educational robotics included: cost and access, teacher training and program integration, evaluation of learning outcomes, learning and diversity, and sustainability and maintenance.

This research was conducted with the aim of the application WebQuest in learning English by using Sandlovsky and Barroso's systematic review method. This study was the result of a 10-year review of studies between 2013-2023 in the field of research on the application of WebQuest in learning English. The Practical keywords used in this research included: "Webquest and English language learning" and "Webquest and English language teaching" which were searched in Sciencedirect, Tylor & Francis & … databases. In the initial review, 227 documents were identified, and in the first step of the screening based on the PRISMA guidelines and using the CASP behavior checklist, about 64 related studies were obtained; Finally, in the second step, by checking the full text of the considered documents and evaluating these documents, about 17 documents entered the study processing cycle. The analysis of these documents emphasized on 21 basic axes and 5 sub-organizing categories, among the 21 identified themes, the categories "Learning based on information and communication technology", "Effectiveness of webquest in writing skills" and " "Effectiveness of webquest in reading skills" obtained the highest percentage of subject superiority. The researcher developed these basic axes in a process of conceptual construction and payment using the systematic coding of Strauss and Corbin in five sections "English language learning skills", "functional aspects of English language learning", "tactical aspects of English language learning", "cognitive skills" & "theoretical factors" and organized around the main phenomenon of the research, i.e. the application of webquest in English language learning.
