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? Boulton and Cobb conducted and published a meta-analysis on the use of corpora in language learning, appearing in Language Learning volume 67, issue 2, pages 348-393. → Alex Boulton 2017

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Variation in meta-analytic effect sizes stems from synthesists' methodological choices (inclusion criteria, data extraction, formulas, outlier handling) and from study quality — related
- A second-order synthesis of 12 CALL meta-analyses yields a mean effect size of d=.64, a medium effect of CALL on learning — related
- CALL is at least as effective as traditional teaching: the synthesis meets the minimal d=0 (or Hattie's d=.4) expectation — related
- Decisions made at each stage of a meta-analysis influence its conduct, results, and substantive implications — related
