[MATHLINK] Meta-analysis call for data: Effectiveness of spacing and retrieval for the retention of mathematics

[Ribner, Andy]

Please see below for a message from MCLS member Ewan Murray:

Dear MCLS Community,

I'm currently collecting data for a meta analysis looking into the effectiveness of spacing and retrieval for the retention of mathematics. In an effort to find unpublished grey literature, I would love to use your mailing list to inquire if its members can help.

Effectiveness of spacing and retrieval for the retention of mathematics: Meta-analysis call for data
I am an ex-mathematics teacher currently undertaking a PhD in Psychology, at the University of York, under the supervision of Dr Silke Göbel and Dr Aidan J Horner. My project is focused on how mathematical procedural complexity affects the efficacy of spaced retrieval practice. I am currently working on a meta-analysis synthesising the results of experiments that use the spacing or testing effect to improve the retention of mathematics material. I am looking for grey literature or unpublished data to try to avoid the file drawer problem.
Inclusion criteria:
·  The experiment uses either spaced repetition or retrieval practice (or both)
·  Participants required to learn mathematics material
·  Performance measured on a post-test
·  English abstract
Exclusion criteria:
·  Non-experimental designs
·  Not at least two conditions or groups
·  Clinical populations
·  Effect size not solely based on mathematics material
If you have any unpublished data that fits this call it would be of great assistance if you could email:
Ewan Murray
ewan.murray at york.ac.uk<mailto:ewan.murray at york.ac.uk>

I am very sure that everyone is busy, so I will endeavour to make it as easy as possible to transfer the necessary information.
