Peer reviewedBerger, Michael A. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1983
This paper decribes the case survey method as a technique to overcome data collection problems and lack of integration of case studies. It outlines the roots of the method, distinguishes it from meta-analysis, describes the process with illustrations from an enrollment decline study, and analyzes its strengths and limitations. (BW)

Peer reviewedMcNeil, Keith; Newman, Isadore – Mid-Western Educational Researcher, 1994
Meta-analysis synthesizes related research by considering three major factors: sample size, magnitude of significance, and statistical test used. These factors produce an effect size, expressed as a correlation or as a difference between means, divided by the standard deviation. Discusses ways to use effect size when results are not consistent and…
