Bias over Substance: A Critical Analysis of Kavale and Forness' Report on Modality-Based Instruction.
Dunn, Rita
Exceptional Children, v56 n4 p352-56 Jan 1990
The article critiques a 1987 (Kavale and Forness) meta-analysis which concluded that research does not support modality-based instruction. The study is faulted for its selection criteria as well as its failure to consider demographic differences, achievement level differences, multiplicity of preferences, definitions of terms, effect-size measurements, and verification.
