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 i1 Regression-adjusted math score differences favoring the pilot group were statistically significant at the 0.05 level in every grade, ranging from 0.76 adjusted RIT in grade 2 to 6.42 in grade 6, with Hedge's g from 0.05 to 0.37. → J. Patrick Meyer 2023

q2 · i1 · causal · r2
Propensity-score-matched regression analysis (spring score regressed on group indicator, demographics, winter RIT, response time effort, school challenge index) found significant pilot advantages in all grades; "Hedge’s g estimates of effect size shown in Table 2.4 range from 0.05 in Grade 2 to 0.37 in Grade 6."
"Regression analysis for math indicated that the increased math scores for the pilot group are statistically significant at the 0.05 level for each grade (see Table 2.4). The difference ranged from a low of 0.76 adjusted RIT in grade 2 to a high of 6.42 adjusted RIT in grade 6."
