Effect Size, r (correlation coefficient)
where t = t value
df = degrees of freedom
In Activity 2, n1 = n2 = n, df = n - 1
For t-test results, related or unrelated
groups, Effect Size, r:
t value for two unrelated groups

non-significant r
Small effect size, significant r between 0

Medium effect size, significant r between
.30 and .69
Large effect size, significant r between

Instructional strategies w/ medium to large
effect sizes (.59 to 1.61), are related to
increased student achievement (Appalachia
Educational Laboratory, 2005):
Metacognition (students thinking about their
thinking)
Active student engagement
Higher order thinking
Cooperative learning
Independent practice
Marzano (2003): 3 processes for
teaching metacognitive skills
(1) Provide students w/ specific
learning objectives before
each lesson (Effect size = .97)
(2) Give feedback on processes and
strategies students use
(Effect size = .74)
(3) Allot time for students to consider
how to approach a task and remind
them to activate specific thinking
behaviors (Effect size = .53)

Effect size studies are secondary, not
primary research, using and comparing
results of experimental studies.
Studies vary in research questions and
methodology sampling, instrumentation,
intervention conditions, data collection,
and data analysis
Effect size study is quantitative review of
literature where results of studies are
synthesized compared and contrasted.
Study on effect size of teaching strategies is
descriptive research (not experimental
research), using findings of experimental or
quasi-experimental researches.
Descriptive and experimental research: one is
not superior to the other. Good research:
original research questions and appropriate
methodology done with rigor
As literature review, effect size studies can
quickly help education stakeholders apply
synthesis to their work from vast, scattered,
global literature
However, consider limitations of
effect size study as secondary
research w/ many variations in
methodology of meta-analyzed or
synthesized studies
Challenge for researchers: derive
new frameworks from effect sizes
of studies.
