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? Very few empirical or quantitative studies have explored the measurement challenges and advantages of TCSA; the field is described as uncharted territory. → Garron Gianopulos 2019

The review's article-selection analysis found that although many TCSA papers appeared circa 2010 in response to the Race to the Top assessment program, "very few empirical or quantitative studies have been conducted to explore the measurement challenges and advantages of TCSA," quoting Dadey and Gong (2017).
"However, very few empirical or quantitative studies have been conducted to explore the measurement challenges and advantages of TCSA. Dadey and Gong (2017) described the current state of the published literature on TCSA: “Developing and implementing …[TCSAs]… represent uncharted territory."

- The ITE-diversity literature is broad in focus but shallow in depth, with most papers describing teaching about or catering to diversity and few considering teaching for diversity — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
