Evidence for Confounding in Computer-Based Instruction Studies: Analyzing the Meta-Analysis.

Clark, Richard E.

Educational Communication and Technology, v33 n4 p249-62 Win 1985

Computer-based instruction (CBI) studies analyzed by Kulik et al. were examined to explore the validity of competing claims about the computer's contribution to measured achievement gains. Results suggest achievement gains found in CBI studies are overestimated and are due to uncontrolled but robust instructional methods embedded in CBI treatments. (Author/MBR)
