Abstract

A meta-analysis was performed to synthesize existing research comparing the effects of interactive whiteboard instruction (IWBI) versus non-IWBI on students’ academic achievement in Taiwan. Sixty-eight studies generated 81 ESs were located from 2 sources, and their quantitative data was transformed into Effect Size (ES). The overall grand mean of the study-weighted ES for all 81 ESs was 0.38. The results suggest that IWBI is more effective than non-IWBI on students’ academic achievement in Taiwan. In addition, six of the thirteen study features selected for this study had a statistically significant impact on the mean ES. The results from this study suggest that the effects of IWBI are positive over non-IWBI. The analyses of study features also provided some valuable implications to verify the effects while implement IWB in the educational settings.
