Participatory Meta-Research: Opportunities for Engaging Pre-Service Teachers in Educational Research
Page: 1456
This poster has two purposes. First, we will describe some of the latest techniques of meta-analysis and meta-synthesis through the lens of a current project looking at algebraic teaching interventions for grades K-12. This includes illustrating the use of cutting-edge software for conducting a meta-synthesis such as Covidence and Raayan and looking at a new technique for extracting qualitative data from an article using artificial intelligence. Second, we will describe some of the challenges and opportunities that have resulted from this process to highlight how pre-service teachers and researchers could benefit. This includes discussions about the definition of an algebraic teaching intervention for screening, a look at some of the interventions that were discovered during search/screening that might be applicable for teaching, and a discussion about what information from an article would be useful for a practicing educator.
