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? Fifth-grade pilot students using Achieve3000 had adjusted mean current Lexile scores of 575.88 versus 497.20 for comparison students, a statistically significant difference. → Luke 2017

Luke, Christina C.; Gibson, Sierra; Francisco, Aubrey T. (2017). Rapid Cycle Pilots: Using Edtech to Support English Learners. Digital Promise. https://digitalpromise.dspacedirect.org/items/383e02ba-587a-4192-be68-175543798661 doi:10.51388/20.500.12265/26
q2 · i? · design · r2
ANCOVA on Cajon Valley fifth graders (pilot N = 89, comparison N = 109 per Figure 1) controlling pre-test Lexile, with slopes constrained equal across students. The adjusted mean difference favored the pilot group, "scored significantly higher, on average" (p < 0.001).
"the adjusted mean for current Lexile scores was 575.88 for students using Achieve3000 and 497.20 for students who did not use the program, which suggests that students in the pilot treatment scored significantly higher, on average (y01 = 78.679, SEy = 12.490, p < 0.001)"
