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? Across five subject-field categories (science N=8, math N=5, social sciences N=23, foreign languages N=2, others N=2), the difference in effect sizes was not statistically significant despite English/foreign-language lessons showing the largest descriptive effect size. → Veli Batdı & Hacer Batdı 2015

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analytic moderator analysis of subject field across five categories: the English-lessons effect size (3.37) exceeded science (1.79), social sciences (1.60), and math (1.00), but "the difference was not statistically significant (p > .05)".
"The effect size for English lessons (ES = 3.37) was higher than that for the other subject areas ( ES = 1.60 for social sciences; 1.79 for science; and 1.00 for math), but the difference was not statistically significant (p > .05)."
