  • Effectiveness of computer-based instruction: An updated analysis. (818 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

James A. Kulik mainly investigates Mathematics education, Academic achievement, Meta-analysis, Pedagogy and Teaching method. His Mathematics education research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Program evaluation and Achievement test. His study in Academic achievement is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Secondary education, Self-concept, Educational technology and Criterion-referenced test.

His work on Instructional technology and Special education as part of general Pedagogy study is frequently linked to Curriculum development, Dissenting opinion and CITES, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work on Individualized instruction, Keller Plan and Teaching and learning center as part of general Teaching method research is frequently linked to Working hours and Legislature, bridging the gap between disciplines. In the subject of general Computer-Assisted Instruction, his work in Computer-based instruction and Computer based education is often linked to Computer based, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
