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? Preschool children taught 20 target vocabulary words through computer assisted vocabulary instruction improved significantly from pre-test to post-test, with a large eta squared effect. → Basoz 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Paired-samples t-test on the CAVI experimental group (n=16) in a quasi-experimental pre/post study. The article reports "A statistically significant difference" between pre- and post-test, with eta squared (.09) described as a large effect size; no standardised effect size is printed.
"A statistically significant difference was found between the group’s pre-test (M= .31, SD= .70) and post-test scores (M=13.31, SD= 4.28), t (15)= -13.57, p< .05 (two-tailed). The eta squared statistic (.09) indicated a large effect size."
