q2 · i1 · causal · r?

First quasi-experimental study comparing students in a small-city South Carolina district with similar students identified through NWEA's Similar Schools Report; the population was predominantly Black and White, about two-thirds economically disadvantaged, and students averaged about 15–16 hours of Istation use per year. The article reports "significantly greater growth on NWEA MAP Reading" with "effect size = +0.06".

"Istation students had significantly greater growth on NWEA MAP Reading than comparison students (effect size = +0.06)."
