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? Experimental-group students taught with the Comprehensive Charts scored higher on a 12-item tense recognition test than control students, and the instruction-by-performance-level association was statistically significant. → Tsai 2017

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experimental comparison of 120 chart-instructed and 108 control freshmen at a Taiwanese national university. The experimental group mean was 7.5500 (62.92%) versus 6.3148 (52.62%) for controls; the Pearson Chi-Square was 10.408 (p = .015). The article reports "did significantly exist among groups" for recognition performance.
"Table 10 shows the Pearson Chi-Square, two-sided asymmetrical significance , reaches the significant level (p ＜.05). That is, the instruction difference, teaching with or without the Comprehensive Charts (CC), did significantly exist among groups in relation to the participants' performance levels of tense form recognition."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Syntax — outcome: instruction changes it
