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.
q3 i? Pooled across three continuous-variable studies, critical thinking skills showed no difference between groups (SMD = 0.82, 95% CI: −0.97–2.61, p = 0.37). → Ma Xingming 2026

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Random-effects meta-analysis of three continuous-variable studies (I2 = 98%) reported in the critical thinking skills section found "no difference in critical thinking skills between the two groups"; the single dichotomous-variable study found a statistical difference (OR = 73.47).
"The results of the meta-analysis showed no difference in critical thinking skills between the two groups (SMD = 0.82, 95% CI: −0.97–2.61, p = 0.37). However, only the study using dichotomous variables revealed a statistical difference between the two groups (OR = 73.47, 95%CI: 4.23–1276.95, p = 0.003)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Critical Thinking — outcome: instruction changes it
