The goal of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of the results of university theses and dissertations which dealt with effectiveness of the social constructivist based approach of teaching in the Jordanian Universities during (2010- 2017) on language skills, The variables used in this study are: The period of applying the tool and the size of the sample. In order to achieve the goals, the researcher used the Meta-analysis and Coding Model for Data. The sample study consisted of 23 theses and dissertations. The results showed that effect sizes were not homogeneous. The value of the Homogeneity test (Q-values) reached was 388.85 with 39 degree of freedom. The results also showed that the average of the overall effect size reached for the random effect model was 1.63 with a standard error of 0.31. Furthermore, statistically significant differences can be seen in the mean of the effect sizes with respect to the period of application of the study tool variable and the sample size variable, for the period of application of 9-12 weeks and a group of less than 41 individuals, respectively. Considering these results, the study presented a set of related recommendations.
