▌Abstract

This study examines the effects of digital-based remedial instruction on students’ academic achievement through a systematic review of existing literature in Taiwan. A meta-analysis of 38 studies indicated statistically significant positive effects of digital-based remedial instruction on academic achievement (ES = 0.32). In addition, six moderator variables (i.e., grade level, subject area, instructor bias, instructional approach, type of instruction, and during of treatment) selected for examining students’ academic achievement, had a statistically significant impact on the mean ES.
