Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Across tutoring conditions, MD-only students achieved higher posttest fact retrieval than MDRD students (ES = 0.47). → Powell 2009

Evidence¶

Powell 2009¶

Powell, S. R., Fuchs, L. S., Fuchs, D., Cirino, P. T., & Fletcher, J. M. (2009). Effects of Fact Retrieval Tutoring on Third-Grade Students with Math Difficulties with and without Reading Difficulties. Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 24(1), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1540-5826.2008.01272.x

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Posttest ANCOVA main effect for MD subtype was significant, F(1,127) = 14.95, p < .0002; Table 3 reports an MD-only versus MDRD effect size of 0.47 (CI 0.13 to 0.81). The trial randomized 139 third graders.

"Follow-up tests indicated that MD-only students outperformed MDRD students (p < .0002), and the two fact retrieval tutoring groups outperformed the comparison students"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Arithmetic Fact Retrieval — outcome: instruction changes it
