Systematic reviews as intentional learning experiences scaffolded by mentoring that combines methodological guidance with emotional scaffolding¶

Description¶

The article frames systematic reviews "as intentional learning experiences that unfold across stages of the review and require mentoring and technological support." Mentoring is described as "an integrated support system that combined methodological guidance with emotional scaffolding" rather than solely procedural knowledge transmission. Mentoring was embedded across stages: guiding search refinement, joint discussion of borderline screening decisions, and collaborative coding, reducing the cognitive and emotional burden of evaluative judgments and supporting both technical competence and confidence.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Mentoring support embedded across multiple stages of the review process, or peer-based discussion groups when individual mentoring is not feasible

Constraints¶

The account draws on one team's experience conducting an SR in the interdisciplinary LDT field; the authors position it as a practical guide for similarly complex fields

Target Learners¶

graduate students and novice researchers conducting systematic reviews

Learning Goals¶

systematic review methodology
critical appraisal skills
confidence in handling ambiguity and evaluative judgment
