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? The six-item teacher-questionnaire scale has Cronbach's alpha values around 0.6 but practically zero correlation to student achievement. → Kimmo Eriksson 2019
Evidence¶
Kimmo Eriksson 2019¶
Kimmo Eriksson, Ola Helenius, Andreas Ryve. (2019). Using TIMSS items to evaluate the effectiveness of different instructional practices. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-018-9473-1
q1 · i? · associational · r2
The article reports, citing IEA (2011), that the Instruction to Engage Students in Learning Scale formed from six teacher-questionnaire items has alpha values around 0.6 but practically zero correlation to student achievement; a similar null result is attributed to Blömeke et al. (2016).
"However, the same table from IEA (2011) reports that the scale has practically zero correlation to student achievement (Exhibit 6 in IEA 2011)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- TAILS dimensions show high internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha values above 0.90 — related
- Existing online SRL questionnaires show reliability problems, with most having at least one scale outside the acceptable Cronbach's alpha range — related
