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 i? After a teaching activity of three PDEODE tasks, students' alternative conceptions about condensation decreased from pre-test to post-test. → Bayram Costu 2011

q3 · i? · causal · r1
Pre-, post- and delayed post-test analysis of 52 first-year primary science education students' responses to a five-item Condensation Conceptual Test. The article reports that "most students experienced conceptual change"; for the 2nd SAC the proportion decreased from 31 to 2% for the pre- and post-tests.
"students' alternative conceptions changed from the pre-test, with improvement noted in the post-, and delayed post-test scores. That is, most students experienced conceptual change."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Conceptual change about condensation after PDEODE teaching was retained at delayed post-test for most alternative conceptions, but not for SAC #4 and #6 — related
- Interviewed students at below-average, average, and above-average levels showed improved understanding of condensation after the intervention — related
- Responses classified as sound understanding on open-ended condensation items rose after the intervention and were still above pre-test levels at delayed post-test — related
- Participants' pre-teaching conceptions of the republic conflated it with democracy or associated it with Atatürk — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
