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 i3 Pearson correlations among fall, winter, and spring scores ranged between 0.48 and 0.68 for Phonological Awareness, 0.55 and 0.82 for Phonics & Word Recognition, and 0.54 and 0.63 for Language Comprehension, suggesting moderate correlations across terms. → Wei He 2022

q2 · i3 · associational · r2
Correlational analysis (Table 3.2) using listwise deletion, computed only on students with scores in all three terms. Printed correlations include r = 0.48 to 0.68 for Phonological Awareness and r = 0.55 to 0.82 for Phonics & Word Recognition, described as moderately correlated.
"These coefficients range between 0.48 and 0.68 for Phonological Awareness, 0.55 and 0.82 for Phonics & Word Recognition, and 0.54 and 0.63 for Language Comprehension. These results suggest that, in general, the scores in different terms were moderately correlated."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- True-score-model correlations among fall, winter, and spring scores exceed 0.90 for almost all course-specific tests, indicating strongly correlated administrations across terms. — reports the opposite
- Between-term score correlations are moderate and lowest for Phonological Awareness — related
- School effectiveness estimates from fall-to-spring versus spring-to-spring growth correlate only moderately to strongly (.399 to .705), below the .90 threshold at which rank orderings diverge in accountability — related
- CCM-estimated skill profiles showed minor positive correlations with external pre- and post-test scores, ranging from .018 to .495 — related
- Foundational Skills test scores generally increased across terms and grades, with less growth observed at higher grades — related
