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? Individual readiness assurance test scores exhibited low-to-moderate correlations (r between .2 and .6) with lecture assessment scores, all statistically significant. → Bell 2022

Bell, E. C. (2022). Individual Vs. team based readiness assurance testing in pharmacy calculations. International Journal of Instruction, 15(1), 733-746. https://doi.org/10.29333/iji.2022.15142a
q2 · i? · associational · r1
Correlational analysis of score data from 69 students in a pharmacy calculations lecture course, using Spearman's rank correlations at α = .05. The study found "low-to-moderate (.2 < r < .6) correlations" between IRAT scores and lecture assessments including four exams, a quiz, and a final exam; no single effect size is printed for the overall pattern.
"Individual readiness assurance tests exhibited low-to-moderate (.2 < r < .6) correlations with applicable lecture assessment scores (Table 1), all in statistically significant fashion."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Neither IRAT nor TRAT distinguishes itself in correlation with module high scores, with isolated significant correlations on difficult topics — related
- TRAT scores correlate only very low-to-low with lecture assessment scores, with significance limited to a few topics — related
- IRAT performance shows a stronger association with final exam performance than TRAT performance does — related
- IF-AT exam scores correlate with constructed-response quiz scores (r = 0.67), supporting validity — related
