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? On the RTSSPS post-test the constructivist control group averaged 52.86 versus 51.09 for the integrated STEM group, with no significant difference (p > 0.05). → Sarican 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Independent t-test on RTSSPS post-test scores in the same 44-student quasi-experiment: t = 0.627, p = 0.534. The article reports "no significant difference between the two groups when compared with RTSSPS post-test data (p > 0.05)" and notes both groups' scores decreased after the application.
"When Table 7 was examined, the control group’s RTSSPS post -test average is 52.86 and standard deviation is 8.055; the experimental group’s RTSSPS post -test average is 51.09 and the standard deviation is 10.542."
