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 i2 After the micro-courses, teachers' self-reported confidence to integrate CT into their classrooms rose significantly, with a large printed effect size of g = 0.72. → Lauren E. Margulieux · Brendan D. Calandra · Bryan Cox 2026

q3 · i2 · design · r2
Independent t-tests compared pre- and post-survey ratings (1 = not at all confident to 5 = completely confident) from the MICRO evaluation surveys; Welch-Satterthwaite correction was used. The mean rose from "3.59 on the pre" to "4.28 on the post", with "g = 0.72".
"the mean increased from 3.59 on the pre (n = 377, SD = .36) to 4.28 on the post (n = 341, SD = .90), which was a significant increase in teachers' confidence (t = −9.58 (715.56), p < .001). The effect size was g = 0.72, indicating a large difference in teachers' self-reported confidence."
