q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Systematic review of literature classroom intervention studies; the search of five databases was complemented with citation tracking, hand searches, and expert consultation, and "We included 13 experimental and quasi-experimental intervention studies." The review reports conditional empirical support rather than a uniform effect.

"Analysis of empirical support for expected intervention effects indicated that, under certain conditions, literature education may foster students’ insight into human nature."
