Subclaims¶

q3 i? There was a statistically significant interaction between SSIS-CIP and class-level pretest on teacher ratings of all social skills and academic engagement/motivation measures except assertion and self-control. → DiPerna 2014 q3 i? Adjusted differences favoring SSIS-CIP were larger for classes with lower average pretest scores; high-pretest classes showed no improvement. → DiPerna 2014

Evidence¶

DiPerna 2014¶

DiPerna, J. C., Lei, P., Bellinger, J., & Cheng, W. (2014). Efficacy of the Social Skills Improvement System – Classwide Intervention Program (SSIS – CIP) in the Primary Grades. SREE Spring 2014 Conference. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED562704

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Multilevel analysis of the cluster randomized trial tested treatment-by-pretest product terms at the .05 level. The interaction was significant for all teacher-rated outcomes except assertion and self-control; "the adjusted differences between SSIS-CIP and control classrooms were larger for classes that had lower average pretest scores".

"There was a statistically significant interaction between SSIS-CIP and class-level pretest on teacher ratings of all social skills and academic engagement/motivation measures except assertion and self-control."

DiPerna 2014 (2)¶

DiPerna, J. C., Lei, P., Bellinger, J., & Cheng, W. (2014). Efficacy of the Social Skills Improvement System – Classwide Intervention Program (SSIS – CIP) in the Primary Grades. SREE Spring 2014 Conference. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED562704

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Same multilevel analysis of the CRT: for high average pretest classes the article reports no improvement when holding other variables constant, so the program's benefit concentrates in lower-pretest classrooms.

"For classes that had high average pretest scores, SSIS-CIP did not improve their average scores when holding other variables constant."
