Alresheed, Fahad; Hott, Brittany L.; Bano, Carmen – Journal of Special Education Apprenticeship, 2013
Historically, the synthesis of single subject design has employed visual inspection to yield significance of results.

These methods can provide more reliable data than employing visual inspection in isolation. This…

Bearman, Margaret; Smith, Calvin D.; Carbone, Angela; Slade, Susan; Baik, Chi; Hughes-Warrington, Marnie; Neumann, David L. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2012
Systematic review methodology can be distinguished from narrative reviews of the literature through its emphasis on transparent, structured and comprehensive approaches to searching the literature and its requirement for formal synthesis of research findings. There appears to be relatively little use of the systematic review methodology within the…
