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? The curriculum's expectation of comparing variables (e.g., boys and girls, primaries and juniors) invited binary categorizations that were inherited and reproduced in students' surveys and graphs. → Takeuchi 2020
