Effectiveness of Constructivist Teaching Approach on Academic Achievement Meta-Analysis

Abstract

 The purpose of the present research work was to conduct a meta-analytical study of the previously published research works related to the effectiveness of the constructivist teaching approach on the academic achievement of learners. For this work, keeping in mind the time series, the researcher selected 16 research papers to be published in the period from 2010 to the year 2021. The researcher(s) studied the effectiveness of the constructivist teaching approach on the academic achievement of the learners. After collecting quantitative data from selected research papers, they were converted into a standard scale, i.e., effect size, with the help of ‘meta essential software’. After this, the average effect size was determined from these effect sizes. The average effect size of all studies yielded a value of 2.02 (very large effect size). Based on this, it can be concluded that there is a significant impact of the constructivist teaching approach on the academic achievement of the learners and the effect size is very large.
