Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dennis, Minyi Shih; Sorrells, Audrey M.; Chovanes, Jacquelyn; Kiru, Elisheba W. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2022
This meta-analysis examined the ecological and population validity of intervention research for students with low mathematics achievement (SWLMA). Forty-four studies published between 2005 and 2019 that met the inclusionary criterion were included in this analysis. Our findings suggest, to improve the external validity and generalizability of…

Senior, Alistair M.; Viechtbauer, Wolfgang; Nakagawa, Shinichi – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Meta-analyses are often used to estimate the relative average values of a quantitative outcome in two groups (eg, control and experimental groups). However, they may also examine the relative variability (variance) of those groups. For such comparisons, two relatively new effect size statistics, the log-transformed "variability ratio"…

Ugille, Maaike; Moeyaert, Mariola; Beretvas, S. Natasha; Ferron, John M.; Van den Noortgate, Wim – Journal of Experimental Education, 2014
A multilevel meta-analysis can combine the results of several single-subject experimental design studies. However, the estimated effects are biased if the effect sizes are standardized and the number of measurement occasions is small. In this study, the authors investigated 4 approaches to correct for this bias. First, the standardized effect…

Games Centered Approaches in Teaching Children & Adolescents: Systematic Review of Associated Student Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Miller, Andrew – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2015
The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the weight of scientific evidence regarding student outcomes (physical, cognitive and affective) of a Game Centered Approach (GCA) when the quality of a study was taken into account in the interpretation of collective findings. A systematic search of five electronic databases (Sports…

Three Decades In: Priming for Meta-Analysis in Play-Literacy Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roskos, Kathleen A.; Christie, James F.; Widman, Sarah; Holding, Allison – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2010
In this literature review, we examined 30 years of play-literacy inquiry through a quantitative lens in order to identify, assemble and summarize studies of sufficient methodological strength to form a corpus of research that encourages meta-analytic thinking. First, a multi-phase search of the literature was conducting yielding 192 studies that…

Improving the Quality of Research Synthesis in Program Evaluation.

Bryant, Fred B. – 1984
Because research synthesis enables one to determine either the overall effectiveness of a particular treatment or the relative effectiveness of different types of treatments, it is becoming increasingly popular as a tool in program evaluation. Numerous methodological problems arise, however, when research synthesis is applied to studies conducted…
