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 i? GCT scores increased over time in all conditions, but growth differences between classes were not explained by the MACE lesson series or the PD program. → Eveline M. Schoevers & Paul P. M. Leseman & Evelyn H. Kroesbergen 2019

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Multilevel analysis of the Geometrical Creativity Test in the three-condition quasi-experiment. Scores rose on average across conditions; class-level variation in growth was not explained by the MACE lesson series (t(91) = 0.74, p = 0.46) or the PD program (t(91) = −1.28, p = 0.20).
"multilevel analyses showed alinear relationship between time and geometrical creativity (t(3977) = 3.04,p < 0.01). On average, students'scores on the GCT increased between the pre- and posttests."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Creativity — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- MACE participation increased students' use of daily (tier 1) geometrical words, but not academic (tier 2) geometrical words, which decreased in all conditions — related
- Students who received the MACE lesson series improved more than comparison students in describing the geometrical aspects space, space suggestion, and composition in a visual artwork — related
- Students' ability to understand and explain geometric phenomena improved in all conditions, with no difference between MACE and regular geometry lessons — related
- Teacher participation in the MACE professional development program added no measurable effect on any student outcome — related
