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.
q1 i? Learners from experimental schools preferred a learner-centred group approach and emphasised verbal interaction and peer explanations; control school learners reported they were never given opportunities to discuss mathematics ideas. → Dhlamini 2013

Dhlamini, J., & Mogari, D. (2013). The effect of a group approach on the performance of high school mathematics learners. Pythagoras, 34(2), Art. #198. https://doi.org/10.4102/pythagoras.v34i2.198
q1 · i? · causal · r2
Post-intervention semi-structured interviews with 17 of 18 purposively sampled learners (two per school, all performance categories and involvement levels represented). Learner 1 said she 'gets it better' when the explanation came from a fellow group member; control learners reported didactic, teacher-dominated teaching.
"Responses suggest that learners preferred a learner-centred approach (group approach) in which they engage in opportunities to share and discuss their mathematics ideas."
