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 article reports that experimental studies have shown a moderately positive impact (Bettinger & Long, 2007), little to no impact (Calcagno & Long, 2008), and a negative impact (Martorell & McFarlin, 2007). → Collins 2010

q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative review statement attributing mixed findings to named studies; the article reports these attributions without printing effect sizes or test statistics, so no magnitude is reported here.

"The evidence from experimental studies is mixed. Some have shown that developmental education has a moderately positive impact (Bettinger & Long, 2007), some have revealed little to no impact (Calcagno & Long, 2008), and still others have demonstrated a negative impact (Martorell & McFarlin, 2007)."
