A Meta-Analytic Review of the Effect of Learning on the Interaction between Prior Achievement and Instructional Support.

Whitener, Ellen M.

Review of Educational Research, v59 n1 p65-86 Spr 1989

Meta-analytic techniques tested the effect on learning of the interaction of prior achievement with instructional support. This review of nine studies indicates that differences in prior achievement levels can be reduced through instructional treatment. Results support the use of meta-analyses for other investigations of aptitude-treatment interactions. (SLD)
