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 i3 Across 22 effect sizes from eight Korean studies of elementary students, the weighted aggregated effect size of disability simulation is .80, with a median of .73. → Mookyung Jeon 2018

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r1
Meta-analysis of eight peer-reviewed Korean studies (published since 2000) of disability simulation with elementary students, computing Cohen's d under a random effects model due to considerable heterogeneity (I² = 81%). The article reports "a median effect size of .73" and a weighted d of .80, with effect sizes ranging from .05 to 2.51.
"For the first research question, effectiveness of disability simulation, a total of 22 effect sizes are computed from the eight studies, with a median effect size of .73. The weighted d for aggregated studies is .80."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Behavioral outcomes show the largest effects of disability simulation, while the perception effect is not statistically significant — related
- No negative effects of disability simulation are found among elementary students in the Korean studies — related
- The Korean meta-analysis's overall effect (.80) differs from Flower et al.'s (2007) near-zero finding, attributed to age, combined formats, and longer duration — related
- Simulations shorter than 800 minutes show larger effects than simulations of 800 minutes or more — related
- Effects of disability simulation are largest for grades 3-4, and the youngest group's effect is not statistically significant — related
