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 i3 Engagement increased significantly from pre to post, with odds of a higher engagement category about 7.47 times greater at post (d ≈ 1.11). → Gage 2025

q2 · i3 · causal · r1
Pre–post analysis of the Mindsets engagement dataset using a cumulative link mixed model with random intercepts for classroom and challenge (n = 1,982). The report states "The odds of being in a higher engagement category at post-intervention were approximately 7.47 times greater than at pre-intervention" and converts the log-odds to d ≈ 1.11.
"Results indicated a statistically significant increase in engagement from pre- to post-intervention, b = 2.01, SE = 0.26, z = 7.74, p < .001"
