q2 · i? · associational · r1
Survey of control teachers in the RCT (21 of 55 responded), rating original CMP2 visuals on a 1-7 Likert scale shown in Figure 1. The article reports they "gave generally favorable ratings" with no effect size printed.
"They gave generally favorable ratings to the use of labeling, color coding, and spatial contiguity in the visuals. Control teachers also generally liked the inclusion of math-irrelevant visuals, whether decorative or representational."
