Abstract
Animation has been regarded as a powerful method to deliver instruction because of its ability to gain attention and present motion. However, studies that investigate the effectiveness of animation have shown inconsistent results. This meta-analytic study examines the effects of animation in facilitating student achievement across various contents in different educational levels. In this assessment, 26 quality studies that involve 3575 subjects are selected and examined according to the criteria for inclusion which focused on experimental studies where the control was static visualization and the treatment effect was animation. The procedure of this meta-analytic assessment and latest progress will be reported and the potential implications for further research, design and application on instructional animation will be discussed. This proposed presentation will be beneficial to educational researchers, instructional designers, k-12 teachers and college instructors and policy makers.
