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? In the pilot, the SCS1 12-item subset showed Cronbach's alpha = 0.83 with minimal speededness (9/10 finished; 96% of items answered). → pilot-scs1

q2 · i? · design · r2
Pilot evaluation with 10 students from the same recruitment pool, run with the same structure as the main experiment to set time limits and test the platform. The quote shows "Cronbach's alpha = 0.83, Feldt95%CI =[ 0.62, 0.95]"; the article adds that 9 of 10 participants completed all 12 items and 96% of questions were answered, indicating minimal speededness.
"For the SCS1 12-item subset, the results indicated a high internal consistency: Cronbach's alpha = 0.83, Feldt95%CI =[ 0.62, 0.95]"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Theoretically defined test reliability computable from a single administration via parallel-half vector lengths and angle exceeds split-half reliability but falls below Cronbach alpha — related
- The post-study survey instrument showed high internal consistency (alpha = 0.90) — related
- The 16-item CT–PCK Survey shows internal consistency reliability around .71–.72 and person separation reliability of .69 — related
- Questionnaire constructs showed acceptable to strong internal consistency (α = 0.740 to 0.945) — related
- A high Cronbach's alpha across items measuring distinct knowledge aspects indicates the test is not working as intended — related
- An abbreviated 12-item RPM subset predicts sentence recognition in CI users with comparable validity to the full 48-item test — related
- Alpha of knowledge tests is higher for language and mathematics than for science and social sciences/humanities — related
