Assessment of Students’ Conceptual Understanding of Mathematics:

Path analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used in 9 of the 24 papers published last year on quantitative studies in The Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology. Current trends in SEM application were investigated and the associated problems to promote SEM's correct understanding and application were examined. The results indicated a recent tendency to use more complex and advanced SEM models, including multi-group analysis and longitudinal and hierarchical data models. However, researchers using advanced methods must be accountable, and psychometric and assessment specialists must continue educational and instructional activities from the users' perspective so that applied researchers can correctly use these methods. It is hoped that academic societies will ensure the quality of peerreviewed publications and prepare detailed publication manuals. It is suggested that applied and theoretical researchers and academic organizations continue to promote the appropriate use of SEM and other advanced statistical methods.

This paper reviews recent research on teaching, learning, and cognition, focusing on the articles published in The Japanese Journal of Educational Psychology from 2020 to 2021 and the research presented at The 63rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association of Educational Psychology held in August 2021.Focusing on "collaborative learning" as the perspective of the review, we organized the studies into categories related to learners, teachers, and learning design. As a result, it is shown that research on collaborative learning had accumulated in all categories. In addition, as future prospects and issues, the following were identified: for learners, clarification of what is nurtured through collaborative learning over the long term; for teachers, clarification of practical knowledge to create issues to be handled in collaborative learning; and for learning design, clarification of more flexible collaborative learning design and learners' learning in it.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
