Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of Canva in improving students’ academic performance. The present inquiry employed a meta-analysis method using various publications retrieved from DOAJ, ERIC, Dimensions, and Google Scholar. A total of 22 studies with 26 valid datasets (n = 1540) were analyzed, records were primarily from Indonesia and published from 2022 to 2024. Most documents were considered to be of moderate quality, with concerns or potential risks related to the domains on the comparability of the comparison group and blinding of assessment. Results showed that Canva has a very large and significant effect (g = 1.703, p < .001) on students’ academic performance, though substantial heterogeneity and publication bias were detected. Sensitivity analyses, such as the Trim-and-Fill and the WAAP method, confirmed the robustness of the findings. The results also revealed that country and subject influenced the effect size, but uneven subgroup distribution limited conclusive findings. Conversely, duration, class size, grade level, assessment blinding, and academic outcome, showed no significant moderating effects. Noteworthy, subgroup analysis suggests that Canva has a potential and greater effect in Indonesia, particularly in English subjects, with smaller class sizes, among high school and university students who actively engage in the platform to improve communication skills. This meta-analysis provides empirical evidence of the positive effect of Canva on students’ academic performance. Lastly, this investigation offers practical recommendations for future studies and practices.

Abstract

This study employs bibliometric analysis to examine research trends and emerging themes using short videos in education. Using 238 records from the Dimensions database, the investigation identifies and describes publication trends, highly cited works, leading journals, most cited authors, active countries, and country collaborations. Results indicate a consistent increase in publications, but citation trends have varied. The most cited study, Glance and colleagues, explores the pedagogical foundations of massive open online courses, while CBE-Life Sciences Education is the most cited journal. Most cited scholars include D. G. Glance, M. Forsey, M. Riley, E. A. van Vliet, N. Brouwer, and J. C. Winnips, with the United States leading in short video research and international collaborations. Co-citation analysis highlights Computers & Education as a frequently cited source and the publications from Frontiers in Psychology, Interactive Learning Environments, and Education and Information Technology. Moreover, bibliographic coupling reveals a close connection between publications on short videos and suggests strong shared intellectual content. Four themes emerge from short video publications: (1) addressing educational needs through digital learning innovations, (2) technology integration in teaching and learning in higher education, (3) short videos in post-pandemic education: opportunities and challenges, and (4) social media as a learning tool: the impact of platforms on student engagement and academic performance. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into publication trends on short videos and provides practical recommendations for future research and practice.
