Evidence¶

rating-1¶

U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, What Works Clearinghouse. (2012, May). Science intervention report: Technology Enhanced Elementary and Middle School Science (TEEMSS). Retrieved from https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/InterventionReport/610.

q2 · i? · causal · r2

The WWC effectiveness summary states the rating derives from a single study in the general science achievement domain covering the physical science construct, with no studies showing statistically significant or substantively important negative effects.

"Thus, for the general science achievement domain, one study showed statistically significant positive effects. This results in a rating of potentially positive effects, with a small extent of evidence."
