"Meta - Analysis is a modern technique used extensively to statistically integrated the findings of several experimental studies in a particular field in humanities social sciences and biological sciences in more advanced countries. However very few attempts have been made to use this strategy in India. Hence a huge amount of degree and non degree research reporting diverse and sometime contradictory results is resting on the shelves of libraries with out any conclusions results meta-analysis can be meaningfully used to integrate the researches and arrive at a conclusions finding.

The present book gives a clear description of various metaanalytical techniques and demonstrates the application of one of the most important techniques to research on effectiveness of teaching and learning methods.

The book is highly used for the researchers students and teachers in the subjects of education sociology, psychology, sociology, social work, managements, economics, botany, zoology and discipline where statistical analysis is done using experimental research." (jacket)
