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? Almost 70% of children in the teacher reports fell below the class median in academic performance, and between 50% and 60% of teachers disagreed that children were achieving high standards in reading, writing, and maths or at the expected level for their age. → Punch 2011

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Teacher survey (N = 151) and parent survey (N = 247) reports of academic outcomes; teacher ratings were markedly less positive than parent ratings, and "Almost 70% of children in the teacher reports fell below the class median in academic performance."
"Between 50% and 60% of teachers disagreed that children were achieving high standards in reading, writing, and maths or were achieving at the expected level for their age, whereas between 18% and 23% of parents indicated disagreement on these items."

Related Claims¶
- Cochlear implant use is not associated with greater perceived academic or social success, and children with implants are rated lowest in reading — related
- Children with cochlear implants had difficulty following spoken conversation in groups, with teachers reporting far more difficulty than parents
- Adolescents with cochlear implants implanted by preschool age score just below the average range on standardized reading tests, with 47-66% within or above hearing norms — related
