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.
q3 i0 Students whose teachers prescribed homework with the MITCA method scored significantly higher on behavioral and time management at post-test than students receiving traditional homework (d = 0.15). → Tania Vieites 2024

q3 · i0 · causal · r1
Post-test independent-samples t-tests comparing the MITCA experimental group with the traditional-homework control group in a twelve-week intervention with 533 fifth and sixth graders. The article reports "behavioral and time management (t = 2.245, p < 0.05, d = 0.15)" in favor of the experimental group.
"significant differences between the two groups in the post-test were found in behavioral and time management (t = 2.245, p < 0.05, d = 0.15), environment management (t = 3.243, p < 0.01, d = 0.22) and self-regulatory deficit (t = -2.557, p < 0.05, d = 0.17) in favor of the experimental group"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The homework management–homework behavior link is stronger for grades 7–8 than for grades 5–6 — related
- MITCA prevented the growth of self-regulatory deficits seen under traditional homework over twelve weeks — related
- MITCA homework prescription improved environmental management relative to traditional homework in primary students — related
- MITCA did not improve information-seeking and help management skills relative to traditional homework — related
- The intervention significantly benefited 6th-grade students but showed no significant effects for 7th or 8th graders — related
