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? Intervention students showing a clear positive change (RCI class 4) scored lowest on all pre-test sourcing variables, while students showing a negative change (RCI class 1) scored highest. → Hämäläinen 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Individual-level Reliable Change Index analysis of intervention-group students' change across the four sourcing variables; students with a clear positive change had the lowest pre-test scores, and the article adds that students showing a negative change "scored the highest in all the pre-test sourcing variables".
"the intervention group students who showed a clear positive change (RCI class 4) in their sourcing performance scored the lowest in all the pre-test sourcing variables."
