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 EFL learners who completed a biweekly self-assessment questionnaire showed significantly higher posttest self-efficacy than control-group peers after controlling for pretest scores, with a printed eta squared value of 0.3 for the treatment. → Sasan Baleghizadeh and Atieh Masoun 2013

q2 · i3 · causal · r2
Quasi-experimental pretest/posttest control group study with two intact classes of female adult intermediate EFL learners (experimental n = 27, control n = 30). ANCOVA compared posttest self-efficacy with pretest as covariate; the treatment effect was significant with a printed effect size of η² = 0.3: "The eta squared value for the independent variable (treatment) is 0.3".
"The eta squared value for the independent variable (treatment) is 0.3 indicating that 30 percent of the variance in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable."
