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? Children's coding knowledge showed significant growth across the curriculum (t = 15.25, p < .0001), with mean CSA scores rising from 2.64 (SD = 1.16) to 7.38 (SD = 2.30). → Avia Ben-Ari 2025

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Pre-post administration of the Coding Stages Assessment (CSA) to the 26 preschool children in the case study, one-on-one, before and after the 24-session curriculum. The article reports "significant growth in children’s coding knowledge" with the printed means and t statistic; no effect size is printed.

"Repeated ANOVA measures showed significant growth in children’s coding knowledge throughout the curriculum (t = 15.25, p < .0001). Prior to the intervention, children’s average CSA score was 2.64 (SD = 1.16), while following the program completion, it rose to 7.38 (SD = 2.30)"
