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 WWC assigned the rating of potentially positive effects because the single study showed a statistically significant positive average effect, but the program did not meet criteria for positive effects because it had only one study meeting standards. → What Works Clearinghouse 2006
Evidence¶
What Works Clearinghouse 2006¶
What Works Clearinghouse, U.S. Department of Education. (2006). WWC Intervention Report: Connect with Kids. https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/InterventionReport/104
q2 · i? · causal · r2
WWC rating analysis for the behavior domain. Criterion 1 for potentially positive effects was met (positive statistically significant average effect size with no overriding contrary evidence); the stronger positive-effects rating requires two or more studies, at least one with a strong design.
"It did not meet the criteria for positive effects, because it only had one study."
