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? Retrospective ratings of group processing's importance to learning rose significantly from before the seminar (5.4) to after the seminar (8.6, p<0.001) and from after the seminar to the present (8.9, p=0.03). → Lachowsky 2021

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Paired t-tests on retrospective 10-point ratings from the survey of 46 former seminar students showed a significant increase in perceived contribution to learning from the beginning to the end of the course (5.4 to 8.6, p<0.001) and from the end of the course to the present (8.6 to 8.9, p=0.03).
"our research found that there was a significant increase in how students evaluated group processing as a positive contribution to their learning from the beginning to the end of the course (5.4 to 8.6, p<0.001), and from the end of the course to the present (8.6 to 8.9, p=0.03)."
