单案例实验设计
  • 文章类型: Systematic Review
    荟萃分析越来越重要,因为这种定量合成技术有可能总结大量的研究证据,这可以帮助在政策中做出基于证据的决策,实践,和理论。本文研究了教育和心理学领域的单案例荟萃分析。与单例实验设计(SCED)的荟萃分析相关的方法学研究数量正在迅速增加,尤其是在这些领域。这强调了简洁摘要的必要性,以帮助方法学家确定教育和心理学研究的进一步发展领域。它还帮助应用研究人员和研究人员辨别何时使用meta分析技术进行基于标准的SCED研究,例如偏见,均方误差,95%置信区间,I型错误率,统计力量。根据通过系统搜索程序确定的18份报告的经验证据总结,与元分析技术相关的信息,数据生成和分析模型,设计条件,统计属性,元分析技术合适的条件,并提取了研究目的。结果表明,三级层次线性建模是最有经验验证的SCED元分析技术,参数偏差是研究的最突出的统计特性。建议在教育和心理学领域使用SCED荟萃分析,建议每个参与者进行大量的主要研究(超过30)和至少20次测量。
    Meta-analysis is of increasing importance as this quantitative synthesis technique has the potential to summarize a tremendous amount of research evidence, which can help making evidence-based decisions in policy, practice, and theory. This paper examines the single-case meta-analyses within the Education and Psychology fields. The amount of methodological studies related to the meta-analysis of Single-Case Experimental Designs (SCEDs) is increasing rapidly, especially in these fields. This underscores the necessity of a succinct summary to help methodologists identify areas for further development in Education and Psychology research. It also aids applied researchers and research synthesists in discerning when to use meta-analytic techniques for SCED studies based on criteria such as bias, mean squared error, 95% confidence intervals, Type I error rates, and statistical power. Based on the summary of empirical evidence from 18 reports identified through a systematic search procedure, information related to meta-analytic techniques, data generation and analysis models, design conditions, statistical properties, conditions under which the meta-analytic technique is appropriate, and the study purpose(s) were extracted. The results indicate that three-level hierarchical linear modeling is the most empirically validated SCED meta-analytic technique, and parameter bias is the most prominent statistical property investigated. A large number of primary studies (more than 30) and at least 20 measurement occasions per participant are recommended for usage of SCED meta-analysis in Education and Psychology fields.
