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? Pre-specified interaction models found no significant intervention-by-subgroup effects for prior attainment, gender, or FSM eligibility. → Quest: Evaluation report and Executive summary 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Pre-specified exploratory subgroup analyses added interaction terms (Pre-test × Intervention, Gender × Intervention, FSM × Intervention) separately to the regression models; Table 3.8 shows all interaction coefficients non-significant (e.g. FSM × Intervention coef. -0.05, s.e. 0.03).
"The programme did not appear to have differential effects according to gender, free school meal eligibility, or prior reading attainment."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
