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? Scatterplots of mean IRAT and TRAT scores against final exam scores indicated a stronger association for IRAT performance than for TRAT performance. → Bell 2022
Evidence¶
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
Scatterplot displays (Figures 1 and 2) of mean IRAT and mean TRAT scores versus comprehensive final exam scores for the 69-student cohort. The plots indicated a "stronger association between IRAT performance and final exam performance" than for TRAT; no effect size is printed for this contrast.
"The plots indicated stronger association between IRAT performance and final exam performance when compared to the association between TRAT performance and final exam performance ."
Studies bearing on this claim¶
Which readiness score says something about later individual performance? This table gathers the studies behind this claim and the 3 narrower claims that bear on it: 1 distinct studies (1 associational), q2, 0 of 1 with an effect size coded. One row per study, codes as each entry records them; no effect is averaged and no verdict is drawn. Built by scripts/synthesize_claim.py from eval/synthesis/; a row that looks wrong is fixed on the claim it comes from.
