Meta-Analytic Methods and Concepts at Crossroads: Relations of Student and Context Variables With Meaningful Outcomes

Sun, April 10, 8:15 to 9:45am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Two, Marquis Salon 14

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this session researchers from seven universities and research institutions in the United States and Germany will present their meta-analytic investigations that examine student and context variables and their relations to meaningful educational outcomes. The four meta-analyses quantitatively synthesize multiple primary research studies, allowing researchers to reach clarity, validate study findings, and generalize results to multiple populations. The topics will cover a broad space within the context of education. Researchers will discuss the validity of student ratings of the instructor, correlations between age and acceptance of technology, links among student chronotype, personality, and achievement, and correlates of academic achievement in higher education. Issues concerning the methodology of meta-analysis as a research method will also be discussed.
