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.
q3 i1 Diagnostic status moderated the relation between perceived belonging and on-time completion: each unit increase in belonging was associated with a 63% increase in the odds of on-time graduation for students with a chronic medical condition (OR = 1.629, p = .003). → Kirkpatrick 2020
Evidence¶
Kirkpatrick 2020¶

q3 · i1 · associational · r3
Design-based logistic regression on the full Add Health data set with Wave IV weights (N = 10,253), controlling demographics, grades, and health report. The article states "An odds ratio of this magnitude is considered to have a small effect size" (OR = 1.629).
"the odds ratio for the moderation of diagnosis status on belonging was 1.629 (p = .003), indicating that an increase of one unit in perceived belonging led to a 63% increase in the odds of completing high school on time for a student with a chronic medical condition."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Belonging — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
