The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the literature base of single-case research design studies using video analysis to determine its effectiveness on teacher outcomes. Primary, ancestral, citation, and first author searches identified 12,047 dissertations and peer-reviewed articles published from 2010 to 2020. Each study (n = 24) was scored on its adherence to the What Works Clearinghouse design quality standards. A total of 16 articles were reviewed for statistical analysis, in which a between-case standardized mean difference was used to calculate effect sizes. Results indicate praise (n = 6; g = 2.66-0.37) and implementation (n = 6; g = 3.64-1.07) had effect sizes that continue to define video analysis as a promising practice. Recommendations for future practice include improving the methodological rigor of studies and increasing sample size to prove the generalizability of video analysis. Addressing these recommendations will support video analysis becoming an evidence-based practice (EBP) for educator development.

The purpose of this study was to complete a systematic review of the adolescent comprehension intervention research published between 2000 and 2020 to examine the presence of instructional practices to promote student engagement. Ninety-five studies were coded and indicated that 93% of the studies included at least one instructional practice and only 15% of studies actually measured engagement. Few studies (6%) examined the relationship between engagement and outcomes; studies that incorporated instructional practices to promote engagement demonstrated a statistically significant relation to engagement. Although student engagement is accepted as important in reading, it is rarely assessed within intervention efforts.
