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? There is some convergence in the literature and among expert opinions regarding a limited number of key noncognitive attributes that matter for students' success, and multiple instruments are available to measure these attributes. → Ann E. Person 2014
