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.
q3 i? The experimental group's posttest learning rate was higher than the control group's but the difference was not statistically significant; no effect size was printed for this comparison. → Koç and Koç 2017

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Independent-samples t-test on the posttest of 20 experimental and 20 control participants after the 3-week treatment. The article reports the experimental group's higher means but states "this difference was not significant"; equivalence was not tested.
"Table 1 shows that the learning rate for the experimental group (M = 13.75, SD = 4.55) was higher than that of the control group (M = 11.80, SD = 5.99). However, this difference was not significant."
