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 i2 Children in the PBS KIDS intervention condition scored higher than BAU children on a factor combining ordinal numbers, spatial relationships and 3-D shapes (Hedges g = 0.51, p < .05). → Silander 2016

q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Randomized controlled trial, two conditions, 197 four- and five-year-olds analyzed with multilevel models. Table 3 reports for Factor 1 (n=172) a coefficient of 5.26, "Hedges g (Effect Size)" 0.51, SE 1.12, p 0.000, favoring the intervention over BAU.
"Children who participated in the intervention exhibited improvements in ordinal numbers, spatial relationships, and 3-D shapes compared to children in the BAU condition (ES=0.51, p<.05; see Table 3)."
Discussion¶

- Intervention caregivers reported increased confidence supporting children's math learning and stronger belief that media are tools for math learning — related
- A higher proportion of intervention parents reported engaging in problem-solving strategies with their children at study close — related
- Teacher-rated approaches to learning and math concepts and problem solving showed no differences between intervention and comparison children — related
- Children in the PBS KIDS Transmedia Math Supplement condition scored significantly higher on the Supplement-based Assessment than children in the Business as Usual condition — related
