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? In value-added multilevel regressions controlling for previous grades, no mean student-report of teacher personality predicted mathematics or English academic achievement, and no individual student-report predicted English achievement. → Kim 2018

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Multilevel regressions predicting end-of-semester report-card grades from student-reported teacher personality, controlling for previous semester grades, student gender and student personality. Teacher-level variables predicted only 9% and 13% of level-2 variance; "none of the mean student-reports of teacher personality predicted academic achievement".
"At level 2, none of the mean student-reports of teacher personality predicted academic achievement for both mathematics and English, not in line with H4d."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Student-reported teacher conscientiousness is the strongest Big Five predictor of perceived teacher academic support in secondary mathematics and English classes — related
- Student-reported teacher neuroticism negatively predicts student performance self-efficacy, with effects that differ across mathematics and English — related
- When previous academic achievement is controlled, intelligence predicts only later reading comprehension and age-10 mathematics, and WMC predicts nothing additionally — related
