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.

q3 i? A two-way ANOVA found no evidence that instructor experience level (spanning 5 to 20 years) affected student retention performance, while the treatment effect remained significant. → Lindquist 2024

Evidence

Lindquist 2024

Lindquist, D. S., Sparrow, B. E., & Lindquist, J. M. (2024). Spaced recall reduces forgetting of fundamental mathematical concepts in a post high school precalculus course. Instructional Science, 52, 859-878. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-024-09680-w

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Two-way ANOVA (treatment/control by instructor) on retention index in the USMAPS experiment; Table 4 reports instructor effect p = 0.302 and C vs. T p = 0.022. No effect size is printed.

"We conducted a two-way ANOVA and confirmed that there is almost no evidence to suggest that student performance was affected by the instructor's level of teaching experience (see Table 4). This result is powerful because it shows that spaced recall in the form of recall quizzes can be effective for any instructor no matter the years of teaching experience."
