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? The experimental group's average pre-to-post difference (5.14) was higher than the control group's (0.82). → Rina Oktaviyanthi 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experimental comparison of two randomly divided classes of first-year students (22 total) at Universitas Serang Raya; the article reports the experimental group's mean gain of 5.14 versus "which is 0.82" for controls, with no test statistic printed.
"In the experimental group can note that the average of the difference between pre test and post test is 5.14 that are significantly higher than in the control group, which is 0.82."
