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? Student achievement in math/science is on average 0.17 standard deviations smaller than in humanities/subject mix. → Di Pietro Giorgio 2023
Evidence¶
Di Pietro Giorgio 2023¶
Di Pietro Giorgio. (2023). The impact of Covid-19 on student achievement: Evidence from a recent meta-analysis. Educational Research Review. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2023.100530
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Meta-regression (WLS weighted by inverse standard error, 239 estimates) with study-level clustered standard errors; the Math/Science coefficient is −0.170*** relative to the humanities reference category, a printed regression coefficient rather than a standardised effect size.
"student achievement in math/science is on average found to be 0.17 standard deviations smaller than in humanities/subject mix."
