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.
q1 i? Nearly all experimental work on method so far has been in the habit group of studies, and the next step is applying the same methods to other subjects of the curriculum. → Clayton C. Kohl 1911

q1 · i? · review · r2
Survey-based assessment in the article's review of experimental pedagogy works (Meumann, Lay, Huey, Thompson, Book, Cornman, Browne). The author reports these have given encouraging results but that "nearly all the work so far has been done in the habit group of studies," identifying Gilbert's zoology experiment as the sole exception.
"It is true that nearly all the work so far has been done in the habit group of studies. Gilbert's An Experiment on Methods of Teaching Zoology seems to be the only piece of work outside of this group."
