q3 i? Pre-specified sub-group analyses introducing gender, FSM eligibility and interaction terms identified no significant interactions. → National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) 2014

Evidence¶

National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) 2014¶

National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), evaluation team led by Simon Rutt. (2014). Catch Up® Numeracy: Evaluation Report and Executive Summary. Education Endowment Foundation. https://www.educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/evaluation

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Pre-specified sub-group analysis on the ITT dataset with variables for gender, FSM eligibility and interaction terms with pre-test scores and group membership. No interaction reached significance; no effect sizes are printed for these contrasts.

"Table 7 does not alter the initial ITT analysis that shows the intervention groups have significantly higher post-test scores than the control group. The analysis here does not identify any significant interactions."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Socioeconomic Status — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group

Related Claims¶

• Quest showed no differential effects by gender, FSM eligibility, or prior reading attainment — related
• The VEFP showed no statistically significant impact on reading for pupils eligible for free school meals — related
• The intervention showed no evidence of differentially benefiting pupils eligible for free school meals in any of the schools — related
• RLC showed no differential impact for pupils eligible for free school meals — related
• The intervention showed no evidence of differentially benefiting pupils eligible for free school meals, despite a marginal group-by-FSM interaction — reports the opposite
• Baseline factors of gender, free school meal status and SEN showed no significant moderation of the intervention effect — a broader claim this one bears on
