This volume offers a systematic review of the literature on communication education and instruction. Making meta-analysis findings accessible and relevant, the editors of this volume approach the topic from the perspective that meta-analysis serves as a useful tool for summarizing experiments and for determining how and why specific teaching and learning experiences have positive student outcomes. The topics covered here are meaningful and relevant to classroom practice, and each chapter offers a summary of existing quantitative social science research using meta-analysis. With contributions from experienced researchers throughout the communication discipline, this work provides a unique analysis of research in instructional communication.
Taken together, the chapters in this volume enhance understanding of behaviors, practices, and processes that promote positive student outcomes. This book is a must-read for scholars, graduate students, and researchers in communication education, and will also be of interest to scholars and researchers in education.
"The various chapters provide excellent overviews of the particular constructs examined through meta-analysis. The challenges of conducting research related to these constructs are clearly delineated. Studies used in various meta-analyses are clearly indicated so that other scholars can easily access empirical studies on a topic. The referencing is extensive and provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of communication education."
