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.
q1 i? Research question 3 on minority group isolation is addressed only with school-level descriptive data in this interim report, and a design meeting WWC standards will be explored before the final report. → Nakamoto 2022
Evidence¶
Nakamoto 2022¶
Nakamoto, J., Grant, A., Snipes, J., Allender, S., & Figueroa, T. (2022). Clark County School District Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP): Spring 2022 interim evaluation summary report. WestEd. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED621271
q1 · i? · causal · r2
Statement of scope from the report's executive summary: the minority group isolation research question is addressed by school-level descriptive data in this interim report, and the authors state they "will explore whether the impact of the schools on the reduction of minority group isolation can be examined" rigorously later. No impact estimate is reported here.
"Before completing the final summary report, WestEd will explore whether the impact of the schools on the reduction of minority group isolation can be examined using a design that meets the WWC Design Standards."
