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 i3 Teacher caring, teacher trustworthiness, teacher-student relationship, cooperative learning, and student-institution relationship subscales each show moderate positive correlations with grades (r = .326 to .415). → Wang 2013
q2 i3 Cooperative learning correlates substantially with active learning (r = .588), student-student relationship (r = .534), and student-institution relationship (r = .596). → Wang 2013

"There were statistically significant, moderate positive relationships with the grades for the subscales of TC (Pearson's r= .399), TT (Pearson's r= .377), TQ (Pearson's r= .326), CL (Pearson's r= .415), and SI (Pearson's r= .375) at the .01 level."
