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? Treatment classroom teachers demonstrated better classroom management than control teachers (Wilks Lambda = .77, F(8, 453) = 16.67, p < .001), with students spending more time in instruction, small groups, and independent work, and less time in disruptions. → Connor Carol McDonald 2010

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Multivariate General Linear Modeling compared videotaped classroom observations (fall, winter, early spring) of the 120-minute literacy block across treatment and control classrooms. Treatment students spent significantly more time in instruction and less in disruptions.
"Overall, treatment classroom teachers demonstrated better classroom management compared to control classroom teachers, Wilks Lambda=.77, F(8, 453)=16.67, p<.001. Post hoc analyses revealed that, on average, students in treatment classrooms spent significantly more time in instruction, more time in teacher/child-managed and child/peer-managed small groups, more time working independently, and less time in disruptions."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Time and Continuity — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- More teacher time using A2i software is associated with less classroom time in disruption and discipline events — related
- For first graders with weak initial self-regulation, ISI is associated with greater self-regulation gains, increasing with teachers' A2i use — related
- The ISI intervention shows no main effect on first graders' self-regulation gains from fall to spring — related
- Teachers' universal classroom management practices significantly reduce problem classroom behavior (mean classroom ES = 0.80, ICC=.05) — a broader claim this one bears on
