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? After CDA instruction, text analysis (description) questionnaire means rose from 2.99 to 4.15 and test means from 2.57 to 4.22, with paired-samples t-tests significant at .000. → Hazaea and AlZubi 2017

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experimental pre-post study of a class of 43 male EFL Preparatory Year students; paired-samples t-test on the 14-item description subscale showed a mean rise from 2.99 to 4.15, "with standard deviations of .364 and .541", significant at .000 (t = -11.330, df = 42).
"Table 4 shows that text analysis (description practice) scored a mean of 4.15 in the post - questionnaire compared to 2.99 in the pre- questionnaire with standard deviations of .364 and .541; respectively."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- CDA instruction significantly improved EFL students' discourse analysis (interpretation) practice, the smallest gain of the three practices — related
- After CDA instruction, one EFL class's critical discourse analysis (explanation) scores rose significantly, the largest test gain of the three practices, and explanation was the only practice whose post questionnaire and posttest scores differed significantly — related
- Overall analytical reading practices improved significantly after CDA instruction compared with traditional teaching — a broader claim this one bears on
