Xie, Jingrong; Basham, James D.; Marino, Matthew T.; Rice, Mary F. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2018
Mobile technologies have shown great potential in various educational settings. Moreover, there is an emerging research base demonstrating how students view and interact with mobile devices to learn. As more of these technologies enter inclusive educational settings, an understanding of the extant research base for mobile learning (M-learning) and…

Tint, Ami; Weiss, Jonathan A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2016
Families play an important role in supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder across the lifespan. Indicators of family wellbeing can help to establish benchmarks for service provision and evaluation; however, a critical first step is a clear understanding of the construct in question. The purpose of the current scoping review was to (a)…

Berkowitz, Ruth; Moore, Hadass; Astor, Ron Avi; Benbenishty, Rami – Review of Educational Research, 2017
Educational researchers and practitioners assert that supportive school and classroom climates can positively influence the academic outcomes of students, thus potentially reducing academic achievement gaps between students and schools of different socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. Nonetheless, scientific evidence establishing directional…

Gage, Nicholas A.; Lewis, Timothy J. – Journal of Special Education, 2014
The identification of evidence-based practices continues to provoke issues of disagreement across multiple fields. One area of contention is the role of single-subject design (SSD) research in providing scientific evidence. The debate about SSD's utility centers on three issues: sample size, effect size, and serial dependence. One potential…

Scammacca, Nancy K.; Roberts, Greg; Vaughn, Sharon; Stuebing, Karla K. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
This meta-analysis synthesizes the literature on interventions for struggling readers in Grades 4 through 12 published between 1980 and 2011. It updates Scammacca et al.'s analysis of studies published between 1980 and 2004. The combined corpus of 82 study-wise effect sizes was meta-analyzed to determine (a) the overall effectiveness of reading…

Zingaro, Daniel; Oztok, Murat – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2012
The effectiveness and potential of asynchronous online courses hinge on sustained, purposeful interaction. And while many factors affecting interaction have been uncovered by prior literature, there are few accounts of the relative importance of these factors when studied in the same online course. In this paper, we develop a literature-informed…

Do Instructional Interventions Influence College Students' Critical Thinking Skills? A Meta-Analysis
Niu, Lian; Behar-Horenstein, Linda S.; Garvan, Cyndi W. – Educational Research Review, 2013
Promoting students' critical thinking skills is an important task of higher education. Colleges and universities have designed various instructional interventions to enhance students' critical thinking skills. Empirical studies have yielded inconsistent results in terms of the effects of such interventions. This meta-analysis presents a synthesis…

Lam, Elizabeth A.; McMaster, Kristen L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2014
The purpose of this review was to update previous reviews on factors related to students' responsiveness to early literacy intervention. The 14 studies in this synthesis used experimental designs, provided small-group or one-on-one reading interventions, and analyzed factors related to responsiveness to those interventions. Participants were…

Litster, Kristin; Roberts, Jillian – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2011
The current meta-analysis compares the self-concepts and perceived competencies of gifted and non-gifted students. Using meta-analytic methods to synthesise the results of 40 studies, we found that gifted students scored significantly higher than non-gifted students on measures of academic and behavioural perceived competence, as well as global…

Hacke, Wendy – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Current quantitative research on the effectiveness of the National Board certification has resulted in contradictory findings. Consequently, this meta-analysis synthesized the results of 12 studies on National Board Certification and student achievement. Of those, 9 studies were used to calculate effect sizes for reading, and all 12 were used to…

Neuman, Susan B. – American Educator, 2010
In this article, the author talks about "Developing Early Literacy," the report of the National Early Literacy Panel. The panel, which consisted of nine experts, was convened by the National Institute for Literacy to synthesize the research on the development of literacy from birth through age 5. Over the eight years of their work, only 190…

van Gennip, Nanine A. E.; Segers, Mien S. R.; Tillema, Harm H. – Educational Research Review, 2009
This paper reports a systematic literature review examining empirical studies on the effects of peer assessment for learning. Peer assessment is fundamentally a social process whose core activity is feedback given to and received from others, aimed at enhancing the performance of each individual group member and/or the group as a whole. This makes…

Goe, Laura; Stickler, Leslie M. – National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality, 2008
While many studies attest that some teachers contribute more to their students' academic growth than other teachers, research has not been very successful at identifying the specific teacher qualifications, characteristics, and classroom practices that are most likely to improve student learning. Unfortunately, this is just the information that…
