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.
q3 i? Between-period differences were not significant (QBET = 1.944, P = 0.378), yet the short-period effect size (0.82, 3 datasets) exceeded medium (0.45) and long (0.50) periods. → Shi 2020

Experiment-period moderator analysis (Table 5) of the included studies: 3 short, 17 medium, and 6 long datasets, combined test Z = 10.933, P = 0.000, between-group QBET = 1.944, P = 0.378 (no significant difference).
"In terms of a single period, the effect size of the short period SMD = 0.82, reaching a significant level; compared to the medium and long periods, the stratified teaching in the short experimental period has the most apparent effect on students' academic performance."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Stratified teaching's effect does not differ significantly between middle school and high school students — related
- Teaching period significantly moderates blended instruction effects, with one to three months producing the largest effect (SMD = 0.845) — related
- Stratified teaching has a moderate positive effect on Chinese middle and high school students' academic performance (SMD = 0.53) — a broader claim this one bears on
- Stratified teaching has a larger effect in medium-size classes (SMD = 0.64) than in large classes (SMD = 0.44) — related
- Shift-class stratification shows a larger effect (SMD = 0.99) than in-class stratification (SMD = 0.51), though the between-group difference is not statistically significant — related
- Single-session and multi-session experiential learning programs show comparable attitude improvements — related
