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? 65.1 percent of the 215 questionnaire respondents preferred the focus on formS approach (the analyzing, synthesizing, and comparing method) and 64.7 percent deemed it the most effective teaching method. → Tsai 2017

Tsai, Min-hsiu. (2017). Reusing Comprehensive Charts of Tense Forms to Teach EFL Students in a University of Science and Technology. World Journal of Education, 7(3). https://doi.org/10.5430/wje.v7n3p115
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Post-test questionnaire with 215 valid responses from both experimental and control groups; experimental and control groups showed no significant differences across the nineteen questions. Respondents also agreed most that constant practice improves grammatical correctness (mean 4.0).
"Worth noting is that 65.1 percent (140 divided by 215) of the subjects preferred the “focus on formS” approach (the analyzing, synthesizing, and comparing method) (Question 18) and 64.7 percent (139 divided by 215) of them deemed it the most effective teaching method (Question 19)."
