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 Across two field experiments, the program significantly improved math performance, with intent-to-treat effects of 0.12-0.22 standard deviations. → Philip Oreopoulos 2024

q3 · i1 · causal · r2
Two field experiments evaluating the KWiK program in elementary and middle school mathematics report significant intent-to-treat effects on math performance; the printed effect sizes are 0.12 - 0.22 standard deviations, i.e. "0.12 - 0.22 standard deviations."
"Results from two field experiments indicate significant Intent To Treat effects on math performance of 0.12 - 0.22 standard deviations."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
-
Teacher coaching raises student achievement on standardized tests by a pooled 0.18 SD across 31 causal studies — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
-
Teacher coaching programs improve teachers' instructional practice by a pooled 0.49 SD across 43 causal studies — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Math gains from the CAL program occur in classrooms with at least an average of 35 minutes of practice per week — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- ASSISTments use in seventh grade produces a statistically significant long-term math achievement effect of 0.10 SD one year after implementation ends — related
