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 i? Despite the experimental group achieving shorter average completion and driving times in each project, a statistically significant difference appeared only in the last project (t(22) = -3.995, p = 0.001). → Tsompanoudi et al. 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Completion-time analysis of logged driving and total times across five projects in the 24-pair evaluation. The article concludes "structured collaboration does not influence the completion time of assignments compared to free collaboration".
"In contrast to our expectations, the experimental group achieved in average a shorter completion and driving time in each project (Fig. 7). However, analysis of this data showed a statistically significant difference only in the last project (t-test results: t (22) = –3.995, p = 0.001)."
