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? The student and teacher logit scales for text complexity were strongly associated (r = .79, p < .01), supporting their equating onto one scale. → J. Fitzgerald et al 2014

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Measurement analysis linking the two Rasch substudies: the student maze-based and teacher-judgment logit scales correlated at .79 (p < .01) across 89 texts, which the authors call "evidence of concurrent validity"; a linking equating procedure then brought them onto one 0–100 scale.

"Next, the correlation between the two logit scales (N = 89 texts) was .79 (p < .01), suggesting that the texts ordered on text complexity similarly whether teachers or students were involved."
