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 experimental group significantly outperformed the control group on the post-test (t = 7.80 > 1.96 at α = 0.05). → M. F. Salman 2012

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Quasi-experimental, non-randomized, non-equivalent pre-test/post-test control group study of 179 SS2 students (88 experimental, 91 control) taught set theory for two weeks. Post-test means were 55.86 (SD 10.70) experimental versus 41.88 (SD 13.12) control; the article reports "significant differ ence in the post-test mean scores".
"the calculated t-value was 7.80 and the ttab was 1.96 at α = 0.05 significant level. Since the calculated t-value is greater than that of the table value (i.e., 7.80>1.96) it means that there was significant differ ence in the post-test mean scores of the experimental and the control groups."
