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? When teachers use culturally responsive pedagogies, students are more engaged, have more agency in their learning, and take more responsibility for seeking information, as the paper reports citing Glynn et al. (2010). → Browning 2022
Evidence¶
Browning 2022¶
Browning, A., Kaminsky, C., & Gerzon, N. (2022). Moving toward instructional coherence: How four popular student-centered approaches deepen identity, agency, equity, and community. WestEd. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED655925
q2 · i? · theoretical · r2
In its CRSE section, the paper attributes this finding to prior research, citing Glynn et al. (2010): 'research suggests that when teachers use culturally responsive pedagogies, students are more engaged and have more agency in their learn- ing.' The paper reports no effect sizes or study details for this second-hand claim.
"research suggests that when teachers use culturally responsive pedagogies, students are more engaged and have more agency in their learn- ing and take more responsibility for seeking infor- mation (Glynn et al., 2010)."
Studies bearing on this claim¶
Does building tasks and formative checks from learners' own cultural and community practices raise their engagement and let them show competence? This table gathers the studies behind this claim and the 4 narrower claims that bear on it: 5 distinct studies (2 qualitative, 1 theoretical, 1 review, 1 design), q2, 0 of 5 with an effect size coded. One row per study, codes as each entry records them; no effect is averaged and no verdict is drawn. Built by scripts/synthesize_claim.py from eval/synthesis/; a row that looks wrong is fixed on the claim it comes from.
