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? Normalized gain in critical thinking was 0.47 for RME versus 0.40 for conventional education, both classified as moderate upgrades, t-test sig. 0.000. → Palinussa 2013

T-test analysis of enhancement (gain) scores in the quasi-experiment; both gains are described as "moderate upgrades" and Table 4 reports the t-test significance as 0.000. No standardized effect size is printed.
"results enhancement students' critical thinking skills mathematical who have been using RME (0. 47) is better than the enhancement students' critical thinking skills mathematical who have been using Conventional Mathematics Education (0.40)"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Critical Thinking — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Students taught with culture-based RME show better character than students taught with conventional mathematics education — related
- Junior high students taught with culture-based RME achieve higher post-test critical mathematical thinking scores than students taught with conventional mathematics education — related
- Post-test critical thinking differences by early math skill level favor the RME group at every early math skill level — related
- Culture-based RME outperforms school level: low-school RME students outperformed medium-school conventional students in achievement and gain — related
- Implementing RME has a large positive overall effect on students' mathematical abilities compared to conventional approaches (g = 0.97) — a broader claim this one bears on
