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.
q1 i? On the validated programming-abilities test, WOZ I students answered 65% of tasks correctly post-intervention with M = 5 (SD = 4.6), a positive descriptive trend; no significance test was computed. → Sandra Schulz · Bruce M. McLaren · Niels Pinkwart 2023

q1 · i? · qualitative · r?
Descriptive pre- and post-test comparison in WOZ I using a validated psychometric test of control-structure use (0–7 points). Post-intervention, students “answered 65% of all tasks correctly” with M = 5 (SD = 4.6); the authors describe a slight improvement and report that no statistical significance was calculated due to the small number of participants.
"The students achieved scores between one and seven points, and answered 65% of all tasks correctly. With M = 5 ( SD = 4.6 ), the mean score also shows a positive trend."
