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? Students who perceived the instructor as highly fluent reported feeling of learning more than half an SD (0.51) higher than those who perceived the instructor as disfluent (P < 0.001). → Deslauriers L. 2019

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Linear regression predicting feeling of learning from perceived instructor fluency in the same experiment. Students perceiving high fluency "reported more than half an SD (0.51) higher FOL" than those perceiving disfluency (P < 0.001); the article prints no standardized effect size for this finding.
"Students who perceived the instructor to be highly fluent, as measured by agreement with the statement “The instructor was effective at teaching,” reported more than half an SD (0.51) higher FOL compared with those who perceived the instructor as disfluent (P < 0.001)."
