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? Analysis of top performing subjects showed individual accuracies such as 0.560 rising to 0.734 on the electric grid problem and 0.342 rising to 0.829 on the heat exchanger problem. → Foster 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Individual-level analysis (Table 4) of the highest-performing subjects' first and second attempt accuracies on both problems, reported descriptively alongside the group-level null results. The discussion states about 20% of subjects clearly understood the technique.

"Although group data confirmed that by and large the subjects did not perform well on the three problems included in this training, analysis of the top performing subjects demonstrated that some students did in fact understand the problem and the process mapping technique reasonably well, as shown in Table 4."
