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? Mean diagram-test scores rose slightly from pre-test to post-test but the difference was not significant. → Anders Bouwer 2010

q2 · i? · design · r2

Paper-based diagram-comprehension pre/post tests (DIA-A/DIA-B, counterbalanced) in the same 30-participant evaluation. Pre-test mean was "M = 67%, SD = 17.6%" and post-test "M = 73%, SD = 19.5%"; the article reports the difference was not significant and equivalence was not tested.

"The scores on the pre-test were already reasonably high ( M = 67%, SD = 17.6%). There was a slight increase from pre-test to post-test ( M = 73%, SD = 19.5%), but this difference was not significant."
