q3 i? In the multilevel models, school size was a statistically significant predictor of handwriting fluency only. → Skar 2023

Evidence¶

Skar 2023¶

Skar, G. B., Graham, S., & Huebener, A. (2023). The Long-Term Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Children's Writing: a Follow-up Replication Study. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-023-09729-1

q3 · i? · associational · r2

School-level covariate result from the three-level regression models (Table 3): school size estimate 1.426, p = 0.018 for handwriting fluency; p = 0.373 (text quality) and p = 0.876 (attitude). No standardized effect size is printed.

"On the other hand, school size was a statistically significant predictor for handwriting fluency, but not for the other two writing outcomes."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Writing Skills — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
