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 i0 Students with HTKS scores in the lowest quartile (fewer than 25 of 40 points) in ISI classrooms showed significantly greater self-regulation gains than peers in control classrooms, with the difference growing as teachers' A2i use increased (d = .19 at 70 minutes; d = .96 at 285 minutes). → Connor Carol McDonald 2010

q3 · i0 · causal · r2
HLM analysis of the cluster randomized trial modeled spring HTKS controlling for fall scores. Comparing three children with fall HTKS of 5, fitted spring scores were approximately 26 (control), 27 (70 min A2i), and 31 (285 min A2i), translating to effect sizes of d = .19 and d = .96.
"for students with HTKS scores in the lowest quartile (obtaining fewer than 25 points out of 40), participating in the ISI intervention had a significant positive effect on their HTKS score gains compared to peers in control classrooms. As hypothesized, this effect depended on teachers' A2i use"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Self-Regulation — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
Related Claims¶
- More teacher time using A2i software is associated with less classroom time in disruption and discipline events — related
- Fall self-regulation (HTKS) scores predict spring literacy gains in first grade — related
- The ISI intervention shows no main effect on first graders' self-regulation gains from fall to spring — related
- ISI teachers demonstrate stronger classroom management than control teachers, with more instructional time and fewer disruptions — related
