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 experimental group's post-test reading comprehension scores were significantly higher than the control group's at the .05 level (between-group t = 7.13, p = .000). → Yutthasak Sawangsamutchai & Saowalak Rattanavich 2016
q2 i? Within the experimental group, post-test reading comprehension scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores (t = 9.10, p = .000). → Yutthasak Sawangsamutchai & Saowalak Rattanavich 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Randomized control group pretest-posttest study with two clusters of seventh graders (30 per group) at Wat Rajadhivas School. Experimental post-test mean was 18.57 (S.D. 5.23) versus control 10.90 (S.D. 2.71); between-group "t 7.13* .000" and within-experimental "9.10* .000" as printed in Table 1.
"The data presented in Table 1 demonstrate that the experimental group registered significantly different reading comprehension scores than did the control group at the .05 confidence level."
