Meta –Analysis of the Application of Cognitive Sciences in Blended Learning

Since the main purpose of the research was meta-analysis of the application of cognitive sciences in blended learning, meta-analysis methodology was used on the basis of estimating the effect size of cognitive sciences application on blended learning. From the statistical population of research in the period 2000-2019 28 researches were found, of which 18 research documents were selected as a statistical sample based on purposeful sampling method according to field research and intra-analytical criteria. For analyzing the data Cohen model and CAM2 software were used. In the research results, the effect size was estimated 1.59 which is considered high, based on interpretation of the Cohen model. This shows the great impact of the application of cognitive sciences in blended learning. In this research by using meta-analysis method the content of conducted research, such as the relevance of the results to the research objectives, the type of theoretical framework and the type of suggested solutions were reviewed and in the appearance study, the applied research method was examined. The statistical population of this research was all articles related to the theoretical field of cognitive sciences. The results of the research showed that cognitive sciences influence learning, creative problem solving and models based on mental awareness. In the field of evaluation, based on cognitive sciences, the problem of students is recall. In order to reduce recall problems, repeated tests are recommended in blended learning.
