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? Of teachers who received 11 or more hours of training on integrating digital content and tools in the previous year, 48 percent say they rely on software and the Internet to a very great or moderate extent, almost double the percentage of teachers who did not receive such training. → The Power of Digital Learning: Integrating Digital Content.

The report cites survey statistics on teacher training and technology reliance in its professional development section. It reports that "48 per-cent say they rely on software and the Internet to a "very great" or "moderate" extent" after 11 or more hours of integration training, which it calls almost double the untrained percentage. No effect size or test is printed.
"Of teachers who received 11 or more hours of training on integrating digital content and tools in the previous year, 48 per-cent say they rely on software and the Internet to a "very great" or "moderate" extent."
Studies bearing on this claim¶
Does professional development that shows teachers how to use digital tools in their own teaching go with more classroom use of those tools? This table gathers the studies behind this claim and the 8 narrower claims that bear on it: 9 distinct studies (4 associational, 3 qualitative, 1 theoretical, 1 review), q2, 0 of 9 with an effect size coded. One row per study, codes as each entry records them; no effect is averaged and no verdict is drawn. Built by scripts/synthesize_claim.py from eval/synthesis/; a row that looks wrong is fixed on the claim it comes from.
