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 i2 Student teachers classified 69% of examples correctly versus 59% for generated examples, a significant difference. → Tim M. Steininger 2022 q3 i? Feedback did not improve classification correctness from the first to the second trial. → Tim M. Steininger 2022 (2)

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Correctness of learning-phase examples was scored by two raters (κ = 0.87 for generation). Classified examples were correct more often than generated ones: "F(1, 56) = 4.08, p = .048, η2 = 0.07".

"Student teachers generated 59% of all examples correctly (SD = 23.72). In contrast, student teachers classified 69% of all examples correctly ( SD = 15.76). This difference was significant, F(1, 56) = 4.08, p = .048, η2 = 0.07."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

A repeated-measures analysis with example format as between-subject factor and trial as within-subject factor found "no significant effect of trial, F(1, 56) = 2.46, p = .12" and no trial × format interaction; equivalence was not tested.

"There was no significant effect of trial, F(1, 56) = 2.46, p = .12, ηp2 = 0.04, and no significant interaction effect between trial and example format, F(1, 56) = 1.84, p = .18, ηp2 = 0.03."
