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.

q1 i? Hearing-impaired students may appear unready and unable and be mistakenly placed in quadrant one, yet they learn quickly through the "showand do" method, often needing only a one-time demonstration before working independently. → Carder 1996

Discussion

Learner Variables

- Auditory math access works best when the technology is familiar: Math Speak aided expression identification, and BVI students performed similarly to or slightly better than traditional methods with familiar apps — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
