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? Higher engagement profile membership was related to higher children's total language scores regardless of home language, with the distinction most pronounced in the English subsample. → McWayne 2016

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Auxiliary-variable analyses linking LPA profiles to PLS-4 language scores for 179 directly assessed children. In the English subsample only the high engagement group scored at the norm; the other two profiles were about one standard deviation below the norm.
"In sum, higher family engagement was related to higher language scores, regardless of primary home language, but this distinction was most pronounced among the English subsample."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Home Learning Environment — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Oral Language — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Higher engagement profiles related to better play interaction for Spanish-speaking children but showed no significant social outcome differences among English-speaking profiles — related
- Latent profile analysis identified three family engagement profiles in both Spanish- and English-speaking low-income Latino samples — related
- Different engagement dimensions defined the high engagement profiles across language groups: school participation for Spanish-speaking parents, foundational education for English-speaking parents — related
- Demographic predictors of engagement profile membership differed across language groups, with employment the only significant predictor for English-speaking parents — related
