Potential Advantages of the Meta-Analysis Technique for Research in Special Education

Kenneth A. Kavale, Ph.D.

University of California, Riverside

The author discusses the advantages of meta-analysis for research in special education. The need for research synthesis is explored as well as the benefits of meta-analysis, particularly those related to understanding and explanation. The problems with traditional review methods are discussed, with special relevance to their failure to resolve problems. Finally, the findings from several meta-analyses are summarized and contrasted with traditional reviews. It is concluded that meta-analysis offers advantages for explicating problems and issues in this field.
