Meta-Analysis in Education: How Has It Been Used?
Abstract
For many years, researchers have been concerned about the difficulties of integrating findings from dozens or sometimes hundreds of studies on a particular topic (see, e.g., Cooper, 1982; Jackson, 1980; Light & Smith, 1971). In traditional, descriptive reviews of research, different reviewers of the same body of research will draw markedly different conclusions, often in line with the reviewers' own biases.

“This limitation is similar to what was noted by Slavin (1984) who highlighted the limitation of review studies and stated that they have less focus on the quality of the study itself.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
