Chapter 13 - Meta-Analysis
Ok, I am going to be honest. I had to look to see what meta-analysis meant! This is the combination of many studies, usually conducted by different researchers in different contexts, in order to analyze a certain educational topic. I can see this as being a valuable way of conducting research because a researcher is able to compare the various studies and analyze differences. The researcher can analyze why those differences occurred. A school's area, the teachers, the families of the students, socioeconomic levels of the students, etc can all affect study results. I think it would be helpful to be able to study results from schools from multiple areas.
I am curious to see how meta-analysis is used in the field of education and how I can benefit from it as a future reading specialist.
