ABSTRACT
This is a world where massive amounts of data and applied mathematics replace every other tool that might be brought to bear. Out with every theory of human behavior, from linguistics to sociology. With enough data, the numbers speak for themselves. The Data deluge makes the scientific method obsolete” proclaiming that the Big Data revolution will change everything. Teaching and education imply and contain much more than a one-way and top-down communication traffic from the teacher to the pupil or student. The art of reviewing literature (and meta-analysis is but a systematic form of literature review) is to deduce meaning, to test hypotheses as to what relates to the discrimination of the high and low influences.
