q3 i3 Across 35 effect sizes from 24 experimental studies comprising 2918 students, the 7E learning cycle showed a positive effect on students' achievement, with an overall random-effects Hedges's g = 1.245 (95% CI .956–1.534). → Balta 2016

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of 35 effect sizes from 24 experimental or quasi-experimental studies (2918 students; control 1488, experimental 1430) comparing 7E learning cycle with traditional teaching on achievement. The random-effects model yielded Hedges's g = 1.245 with SE .148; the fixed-effects estimate was .989. Heterogeneity was significant, Q(34) = 430.93, p < .05.

"The overall effect size (Hedges's g) value obtained from independent studies was calculated as 1.245 (% 95 CI, SE = .148) between confidence intervals 956 and 1.534 according to the random effects model."
