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? Students taught with narrative theory scored significantly higher on total poster design score than control students taught by the case method (M 84.87 vs 81.20, F(1, 88) = 7.89, p = .009). → Chao-Ming Yang & Tzu-Fan Hsu 2017

q2 · i? · causal · r1
One-way ANOVA of posttest scores in a matched-group teaching experiment: 30 freshmen split into an experimental group receiving narrative theory instruction and a control group receiving case-method instruction over 4 weeks. The experimental group's total score was significantly higher, "a significance level of .009 (p < .01)". No effect size is printed.
"for the total score, a significance level of .009 (p < .01) was reached between the groups with F(1, 88) = 7.89 (Mexperimental group = 84.87 > Mcontrol group = 81.20"
