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.
q2 i? Evaluative judgement has been undertheorised and under-researched, with very little empirical work on strategies for developing it. → Tai 2018

The authors' literature-based assessment in the introduction states that evaluative judgement "has not been the focus of sustained attention" and that empirical work on development strategies is scarce. They cite a small set of studies (Nicol et al. 2014; Tai et al. 2016; Barton et al. 2016) as the exceptions framed explicitly under the construct.
"evaluative judgement has not been the focus of sustained attention and very little empirical work exists on the effectiveness of strategies for developing students' evaluative judgement"
