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 i? Both collective enterprise and care were positively associated with students' interest in science in OpenSciEd field-test survey data. → McElhaney 2024
q3 i? The study found no systematic differences in students' experiences of classroom culture by race/ethnicity or gender. → McElhaney 2024
Evidence¶
McElhaney 2024¶
McElhaney, K. W., & Kamdar, D. (2024). Updated summary and synthesis of OpenSciEd research [White paper]. Digital Promise. https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/231
q3 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Singleton et al. (2024), survey responses from 847 middle school science students in 34 classrooms across nine states collected during the OpenSciEd field test. The review prints no effect size for this association, so its magnitude is coded i? (not reported), which does not mean the association is null.
"Both collective enterprise and care were positively associated with students' interest in science."
