Q-between moderator analysis of the 21 effect sizes grouped by outcome type (achievement k=14, attitude k=3, thinking skill k=4) under a random effect model. The article reports "Qb(2) = 6.32, p=.04" and the per-outcome effect sizes ES=.88, ES=.81 and ES=.51.

"CLM's impact statistically varies according to student outcome types (Qb(2) = 6.32, p=.04). While CLM has a high impact on students' thi nking skills and academic s ( ES=.88, ES=.81 respectively), its impact on student attitudes is ( ES=.51) medium -level."
