The Efficacy of Special Education Interventions and Practices: A Compendium of Meta-Analysis Findings.

Kavale, Kenneth A.; Glass, Gene V.

Focus on Exceptional Children, v15 n4 p1-14 Dec 1982

The failure of common methods of research synthesis to arrive at conclusions about effectiveness of special education is discussed. Meta-analysis, the analysis of analyses, is proposed as an alternative. Results of meta-analyses in the areas of special versus regular class placement, process training, and medically-based intervention are described. (CL)
