Abstract
Web-based learning environments (WBLE) are widely adopted in the context of
higher education. Comparatively, little is known about how they are used in high
school mathematics curricula. Therefore, this systematic review investigates how
WBLEs are applied in high school education and which outcomes this instructional
approach has resulted in up to now. 14 related journal publications on high school
WBLE are identified and analysed in terms of their WBLE activities, student
achievement, attitude, and challenges encountered. The findings suggest that
several activities are used in WBLE. WBLE application in high school mathematics
education produced a neutral or positive effect on student achievement when
compared to traditional classroom-based learning. Students’ attitudes toward
WBLE approach are varied. WBLE implementation challenges are classified
as student-associated, faculty-associated, and operational. We proposed seven
possible solutions to address these challenges based on previous studies. Also,
recommendations for future research are discussed
