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 i3 Post-test total English self-efficacy correlated significantly and moderately with post-test reading comprehension achievement (r=0.52), with all four skill sub-dimensions also correlating significantly. → Özgül Balcı 2017

q2 · i3 · causal · r2
Pearson correlation analysis of post-test scores in the same 78-student study. The article reports "significant moderate positive correlations" between reading comprehension achievement and English self-efficacy at both pre-test (total r=0.44) and post-test (total r=0.52), all p=0.00.
"a significant correlation coefficient was found between reading comprehension achievement and Reading self-efficacy (r=0.53), Writing self-efficacy (r=0.46), List ening self-efficacy (r=0.45), Speaking self-efficacy (r=0.38), and total English self-efficacy (r=0.52) respectively."
