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? Intervention caregivers reported significant increases in confidence to support math learning (96% vs 81%, p<.05) and in agreement that technology and media were tools for math learning (51% vs 28%, p<.05). → Silander 2016

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Pre/post parent surveys in the RCT compared intervention and BAU caregivers; reported proportions favor the intervention on both confidence and attitudes toward media as math-learning tools, each p<.05.
"These caregivers also reported significant increases in their confidence to support math learning for their children, as compared to BAU caregivers (PBS KIDS: 96%; BAU: 81%; p<.05), as well as in their agreement that technology and media were tools for math learning (PBS KIDS: 51%; BAU: 28%; p<.05)."
