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? Across the four tested cognitive domains (C1-C4), post-test scores exceeded pre-test scores in both groups, and the experimental group scored higher on each; the understanding domain (C2) was the weakest contrast, with N-gain 0.49 versus 0.31. → Prima 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Descriptive comparison of average N-gain per revised-Bloom cognitive domain from the 20-item multiple-choice pretest/posttest, reported in Table 7 and running text. The article prints the C2 N-gain values of "0.49 while control group has 0.31" but no significance test for this domain contrast.
"However, the line graph which slightly significant is an understanding domain (C2). It shows that the value of average N-Gain in experimental is greater than the control group. In Experimental group has a value of average N-Gain is 0.49 while control group has 0.31."
