Zoos nowadays often claim that their main objective is nature conservation and that they strive to educate the visitors on this subject. A considerable amount of research has been undertaken on conservation education in zoos. This overview performs a qualitative meta-analysis of the methodology, concepts and results of research articles on zoo visitors, particularly regarding learning, education and conservation. Our main finding is that most of the research uses quantitative methodologies and the qualitative, lived experiences of zoo visits remain under-researched. Based on the articles analyzed, “nature conservation” (the substance of conservation education in zoos) becomes implicitly defined as captive breeding and far-off conservation projects, distancing the visitors and their daily lives from nature and issues of conservation.

Data Mining Techniques

Data mining techniques have proven quite effective not only in detecting financial statement frauds but also in discovering other financial crimes, such as credit card frauds, loan and security frauds, corporate frauds, bank and insurance frauds, etc. Classification of data mining techniques, in recent years, has been accepted as one of the most credible methodologies for the detection of symptoms of financial statement frauds through scanning the published financial statements of companies. The retrieved literature that has used data mining classification techniques can be broadly categorized on the basis of the type of technique applied, as statistical techniques and machine learning techniques. The biggest challenge in executing the classification process using data mining techniques lies in collecting the data sample of fraudulent companies and mapping the sample of fraudulent companies against non-fraudulent companies. In this article, a systematic literature review (SLR) of studies from the area of financial statement fraud detection has been conducted. The review has considered research articles published between 1995 and 2020. Further, a meta-analysis has been performed to establish the effect of data sample mapping of fraudulent companies against non-fraudulent companies on the classification methods through comparing the overall classification accuracy reported in the literature. The retrieved literature indicates that a fraudulent sample can either be equally paired with non-fraudulent sample (1:1 data mapping) or be unequally mapped using 1:many ratio to increase the sample size proportionally. Based on the meta-analysis of the research articles, it can be concluded that machine learning approaches, in comparison to statistical approaches, can achieve better classification accuracy, particularly when the availability of sample data is low. High classification accuracy can be obtained with even a 1:1 mapping data set using machine learning classification approaches.

Implicit And Explicit

There is no doubt that intercultural education in school contexts is not making any progress. To inquire about this, the main objective of this contribution was to describe the importance of approaching intercultural education, through a teaching-learning process of FLE, by means of a literature review. Our exploration is executed by means of a meta-analysis carried out with 22 research articles of the most relevant studies carried out, both nationally and internationally, published in scientific journals in the years 2006-2020, in the Dialnet, Scopus database. The results reveal that, at the state level, there is hardly any empirical research associated with the contributions of the FLE in the development of intercultural education. Moreover, it is remarkable the implicit and explicit absence of intercultural competences in the curriculum of the different works analyzed. The few studies selected are characterized by their good intentions to pretend the implementation with some brushstrokes of intercultural education in the field of FLE, however, this do not clearly represent the different cultural realities of their school contexts, they are focusing their interest on visualizing certain cultures and hiding others. It ends with proposals, such as the introduction of real supports to intercultural education, which avoid the consequences of cultural biases in the curriculum, which reproduce social inequalitie. No cabe duda que la educación intercultural en los contextos escolares no avanza. Para indagar al respecto, el objetivo principal fue describir la importancia de abordar la educación intercultural, a través de la enseñanza-aprendizaje de FLE, mediante una revisión de la literatura. Nuestra exploración se ejecuta, mediante un meta-análisis llevado a cabo con 22 aportaciones más relevantes realizados, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, publicados en revistas científicas en el periodo 2006-2020, en la base de datos Dialnet, Scopus, etc. Los resultados revelan que, a nivel estatal, apenas existen investigaciones empíricas asociadas a las aportaciones del FLE en el desarrollo de la educación intercultural. Asimismo, queda palpable la ausencia implícita y explícita de las competencias interculturales en el currículum de los distintos trabajos analizados. Las investigaciones se caracterizan por sus buenas intenciones de aparentar la implementación con algunas pinceladas de la educación intercultural en materia de FLE, sin embargo, no representan de manera clara las distintas realidades culturales de sus contextos escolares, centrando su interés en visualizar determinadas culturas y, ocultar otras. Se finaliza con propuestas, como la introducción de soportes reales a la educación intercultural, que eviten las consecuencias de los sesgos culturales en el currículum, que reproducen las desigualdades sociales.

The aim of this article is to present a systematic literature review of literature reviews (a meta-study) of gamification topics in e-learning with a purpose to present a high-level overview of the state of the development of the selected field. The systematic literature review of literature reviews (2010 - 2019) was performed. The academic papers (literature reviews) from several academic databases such as DOAJ, ScienceDirect, Google Sholar and WOS were examined and filtered for further study. The selected articles were analysed for sub-topics (e.g. the efficiency of gamification mechanisms) and summarized. In last 5 years, the research of gamification in various fields (mobile apps, e-health, human resource management, business development, e-learning) is getting traction and the number of research articles and systematic reviews of research articles is increasing. After filtering literature review articles, we have found out that only a handful of them – 19, which summarizes 2631 studies, are directly related to gamification in e-learning. This study shows that the following gamification mechanisms in e-learning proved themselves efficient in almost all underlying studies, but there is no broad consensus on terminology and how to group of different gamification related concepts. The research is limited to the following scholarly databases: DOAJ, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and WOS. We are aware that there is a possibility we missed some systematic literature reviews on this topic, which was indexed in other well-known databases or published using different terminology in the title or abstract. The article can serve as a starting point for the research for the scholars and especially post-graduate students who are getting familiar with the e-learning, gamification and performing systematic literature reviews. Also, developers of e-learning systems and course designers could benefit from this article by finding out which gamification mechanisms are most researched, most efficient and worth implementing. To our knowledge, this kind of meta-analysis of the literature reviews hasn’t been done in the field of gamification in e-learning for the year 2019.

Abstract The study was set to examine the differences between religion and religiosity and to explore how communities can be protected against religious violence. The study also intended to investigate the motives and the effect that religious violence has had throughout history. The study employed the qualitative research method whereby the researcher carried out a meta-analysis synthesis of different research findings to make conclusions and implications that could answer the study questions. Using the literature review they conducted, the researchers carried out data collection. As such, the researcher employed the bottom-up approach to identify the problem and the questions along with the investigation framework of what they decided to explore. The findings of the study revealed that religious backgrounds should be the cornerstone to realize the diff erence between religion and religiosity. Religion is of divine origin whereas religiosity is specifically a humanistic approach and a behavioral model. The religious violence phenomenon is formed by interlocking factors such as the interpretation of religious texts which clearly adopt thoughts and heritage full of violence camouflaged by religion. It is recommended that governments use a strong strategy employing the educational system, summits and dialogs to successfully overcome religious violence. The summits on religion should result in starting a dialog that ensures acceptance of the different religions.
