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.
q3 i? The experimental group's post-test mean score of 53.0 was significantly higher than the control group's 29.5 (t = 3.14, exceeding the tabulated value of 1.93). → Musasia 2016

q3 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test non-equivalent group study in ten Kenyan secondary schools; 235 experimental and 215 control students. The t-test on post-test means showed "the control group and experimental group performance were signi ficantly different from each other".
"The t-test value was 3.14; this was greater t han the tabulated t-value (1.93). This indicates th at the control group and experimental group performance were signi ficantly different from each other."
