q1 · i? · causal · r1

Qualitative evidence: the authors cite student journal excerpts (e.g., "At first I was afraid of writing, but now I have self-confidence.") and observation during the term. The article acknowledges there was no measure of self-confidence; journal length growth is offered as informal evidence.

"Even the days the students were absent, they wrote their journals at home without being required to do so"
