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? Students in the unstructured ER curriculum group made errors at a significantly higher frequency than students in the structured ER curriculum group. → Chrysanthos Socratous 2021

Chrysanthos Socratous, Andri Ioannou. (2021). Structured or unstructured educational robotics curriculum? A study of debugging in block-based programming. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-021-10056-x
q3 · i? · causal · r?
Quasi-experiment with two comparison groups (n = 35) comparing a structured and an unstructured educational robotics curriculum; the article reports the unstructured group was "associated with a significantly higher frequency of errors". No effect size is printed.
"The unstructured ER curriculum group is associated with a significantly higher frequency of errors."
