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? When models predicted post-test rather than gain, pretest was not selected as a predictor in any of the four datasets, and student behaviors remained in the models. → Amy Ogan 2015

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Control analysis re-running forward selection to predict post-test scores with pretest available as a predictor; a null result with no effect size printed. The article concludes student behaviors seem better than pretest scores at predicting posttest scores.
"pretest was not selected by forward selection as a predictor of posttest scores in any of the four data sets, and student behaviors did not disappear from the models when pretest scores were included as possible predictors."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Prior Knowledge — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
