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 i3 The random-effects common effect size on attitude toward the course is d = 1.113, a large effect. → Kanadlı 2016

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analysis of 11 studies investigating attitude; heterogeneity was high (Q = 66.385, I² = 84.95%), so the random effect model was applied. The article reports this d "is associated with a U3 value of 84.1%", with the average treated student scoring higher on attitude tests than 84.1% of control students.
"When the effect sizes of 11 studies included in this review were combined according to the random effect model, the common effect size was calculated as (d) 1.113 with 0.227 standard error and 95% confidence intervals of 1.557 and 0.669."
