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 i2 A significant pre-to-post improvement in listing cell organelles (t(105) = 2.98, p = 0.004, d = 0.70), but no change in describing organelle functions (t(105) = 0.06, p = 0.95, d = 0.01). → Ido Davidesco 2026

q2 · i2 · associational · r2
Repeated-measures linear mixed-effects model (N = 36 students, groups and students as random effects) comparing pretest and posttest structure and function scores. Printed effect sizes: d = 0.70 for structure, d = 0.01 for function.
"there was a signi ficant pre-to-post change in students’ ability to list cell organelles ( t(105) = 2.98, p = 0.004, d = 0.70). However, there was no pre-to-post change in students ’ descriptions of organelle functions (t(105) = 0.06,p = 0.95, d = 0.01; see Fig. 2)."
