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 a 2012 classroom study, sixth and eighth graders using redesigned curriculum units showed trends toward greater pre-to-post math score improvements compared with peers using the original curriculum, but data analysis was still underway. → Merging Cognitive Science and Curriculum to Strengthen Middle School Math 2014

q2 · i? · causal · r2

A 2012 study involving 120 teachers at 87 schools in 17 states randomly assigned each teacher to provide data from one original and one revised middle school math unit, measuring pre- and post-test math scores. The article reports only that trends favor the redesigned curriculum; no statistics are printed.

"Data analysis is still underway, says Davenport, but “we are seeing trends going in the expected direction,” in favor of the redesigned curriculum."
