Do Special Education Interventions Improve Learning of Secondary Content? A Meta-Analysis
Scruggs, Thomas E.; Mastropieri, Margo A.; Berkeley, Sheri; Graetz, Janet E.
Remedial and Special Education, v31 n6 p437-449 Nov-Dec 2010
The authors describe findings from a research synthesis on content area instruction for students with disabilities. Seventy studies were identified from a comprehensive literature search, examined, and coded for a number of variables, including weighted standardized mean-difference effect sizes. More than 2,400 students were participants in these investigations. Studies included interventions involving content areas, such as science, social studies, and English, and employed a number of different interventions, including study aids, classroom learning strategies, spatial and graphic organizers, mnemonic strategies, hands-on activities, classroom peers, and computer-assisted instruction. The overall effect size was 1.00, indicating an overall large effect across studies. Implications for future research and practice are described. (Contains 2 figures and 9 tables.)
