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? The estimated incremental cost of implementing ASSISTments in all intervention schools was about $207,794.34, corresponding to about $46.23 per student. → Feng 2024

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Cost analysis using the ingredients method, with costs applied to all students in intervention schools (n = 4,495 in 63 schools). The report states the estimate "corresponds to about $46.23 for each student" in 2021 dollars.
"In total, we estimate that it costs about $207,794.34 above business-as-usual expense to implement ASSISTments in all intervention schools for the efficacy study."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The cost-effectiveness ratio of ASSISTments is approximately $462.30 per student per standard deviation of long-term math achievement gain — related
- ASSISTments achieved a long-term effect comparable to high-dosage tutoring at a small fraction of the cost — a broader claim this one bears on
- Teacher time imposes no incremental cost for ASSISTments above business-as-usual instruction — related
- Per-participant implementation costs fall substantially in leaner implementation models without a warm-up year or local coach — related
- ASSISTments use in seventh grade produces a statistically significant long-term math achievement effect of 0.10 SD one year after implementation ends — related
