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? Association analyses between student and teacher practice outcomes can identify the mediators most associated with student learning. → Peter Z. Schochet 2011

q2 · i? · theoretical · r?
The article states this second purpose for estimating associations between student and mediating teacher practice outcomes in education RCTs. The statement is a framing claim for the power analysis; no specific mediator findings or effect sizes are reported in the available text.
"They can also identify mediators most associated with student learning."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Estimating associations between student and teacher practice outcomes can examine the extent to which RCT data support a study's conceptual model — related
- In clustered school-based RCTs, OLS mediator analyses yield precise teacher practice-achievement estimates only with about 150 to 200 study schools — related
- Measurement error in the mediator reduces statistical power for mediator-achievement association estimates — related
- The IV approach to mediator analysis in clustered education RCTs has very little statistical power — related
- Teacher buy-in and willingness to engage are viewed as strong mediators of coaching benefits — related
