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.

q1 i? Wells did not measure learning outcomes of her project curriculum, so the degree of skill, factual learning, and problem-solving developed was unknown. → Rugg 1921

Evidence

Rugg 1921

Rugg, E. U. (1921). New Publications. The Journal of Educational Psychology. https://eric.ed.gov/?q=Journal+of+Educational+Psychology

q1 · i? · review · r?

In the reviewer's critique, Wells merely lists facts, skills, habits, attitudes, and ideals children must have employed; she "attempts to show outcomes but succeeds very imperfectly" and conducted no measurement.

"The answers to these questions neither we nor Miss Wells know for, astonishing as it may seem, she did not measure to find out!"
