Meta-analysis, as developed over the last few years by Glass and others, is a quantitative method for synthesising research results. Its use is illustrated here by means of examples ranging from irreproachable to dubious. Being simple to use and easily understood, meta-analysis will undoubtedly become popular and this increasing use may well bring about some notable changes. The well-controlled, small-scale experiment is likely to become more important and better use will be made of many existing research reports, reports which can now be dusted off and incorporated into meta-analyses. Because meta-analysis focuses on how much difference something makes (the magnitude of an effect) and not on whether or not the difference was statistically significant at a pre-specified level, its use encourages a more scientific approach to the interpretation of quantitative results. It also offers some hope that we might eventually have a clearer idea of the conditions under which research findings can be generalised. Progress in this direction will require mutual support between quantitative and qualitative research methods. |
