SPED 604 - Reading and Applying Research for Diverse Learners: Meta-Analytic Methodology3 Credit Hours
Introduces methods for conducting a quantitative research synthesis using meta-analysis. Will focus on (a) statistical methods for meta-analysis (summarization of data from multiple existing studies to make an overall conclusion) and (b) strategies for interpretation of meta-analysis results. Settings will include studies with continuous, binary and correlations coefficient outcomes. The focus of the course is both practical and methodological and includes background on all parts of the research synthesis process, including: problem formulation, conducting a literature search, data evaluation, effect size coding, data analysis, and reporting the results. Statistical methods will include fixed-effects, random-effects models, measures of heterogeneity, prediction intervals, meta regression and power assessment. Strategies for interpretation will include subgroup analysis and assessment of publication bias. Will emphasize basic theory and underlying statistical methods, computational approaches, and the interpretation of results from published studies.
