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? In the forest plot, 24 of 31 studies had statistically significant results while 7 did not; 28 studies' effect sizes favor posttest and 3 favor pretest. → San 2018 (2) q2 i? By Cohen's (1988) classification, the effect size was large in 17 studies, moderate in 6, low in 4, and no effect in 4. → San 2018 (2)

Findings read from the forest plot of the 31 included studies, where standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were "in favor of the posttest group".

"24 of 31 studies have a statistically significant results while the rest 7 studies do not."

Distribution of the 31 studies' effect sizes by Cohen's classification and direction, as reported alongside the forest plot (Figure 1) of the meta-analysis.

"Classifying these studies in regard to Cohen’s (1988) effect size classification, the effect size was found to be “large” in 17 studies, “moderate” in 6 studies, “low” in 4 studies, and “no effect” in 4 studies. 28 studies’ effect sizes are in favor of posttest, whereas there are only 3 studies favoring pretest."
