Subclaims

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? Post-test mean difference between experimental and control groups was 4.24 with t = 5.627, significant at the 0.01 level. → Samaresh Adak 2017 q2 i? Experimental group gain score mean exceeded control group gain score mean by 3.24, t = 4.387, significant at the 0.01 level. → Samaresh Adak 2017 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test control group study of 58 Class IX students (29 experimental, 29 control) matched by intelligence, taught over three weeks. The post-test comparison showed a mean difference of 4.24, "significant at 0.01 levels".

"From the comparison of achievement score of control and experimental group in post test the mean difference between two groups in post test is 4.24 and its ‘t’ value is 5.627 which is significant at 0.01 levels."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Gain-score comparison in the same quasi-experiment: experimental group mean gain 10.38 versus control 7.14, a difference of 3.24 with t = 4.387 and significance value 0.000, attributed by the author to the 7E versus traditional treatment.

"Experimental group gain score mean is greater than control group gain score mean with 3.24, ‘t’- value is 4.387, and significance value is 0.000"
