q2 · i? · causal · r1

Post-training descriptive ratings on a five-item scale (α = .83) in the pilot evaluation. Percentages combine the two highest agreement categories; the article also reports 95% perceived the content as (very) relevant across disciplines and 91% across school types.

"Overall, 88% of participants reported that the content of INSIGHT was (very) helpful for them personally (M = 3.29, SD = .67). Similarly, 78% considered the content (very) useful for their future lesson planning and instructional design (M = 3.03, SD = .72)."
