“…Comparable to findings in the field of psychology (e.g., Cohen, 1962;Rossi, 1990;Sedlmeier & Gigerenzer, 1989), ToP researchers more likely detected large than medium or small effects. In a secondary analysis, ToP researchers' power to detect effects was generally similar to teaching-related journals in other disciplines (e.g., Journal of Research in Science Teaching [JRST]) for medium and large effect sizes, but less for small effect sizes (e.g., Daly & Hexamer, 1983;Penick & Brewer, 1972;Woolley, 1983;Woolley & Dawson, 1983). For example, Woolley and Dawson (1983) used a two-tailed alpha of .05 for each hypothesis test in examining 192 articles published in JRST and found statistical power estimates of .23, .63, and .85, for small, medium, and large effects, respectively.…”
