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 i3 After controlling for pretest scores, the experimental group showed significantly higher posttest cognitive engagement than the control group (partial η2 = 0.32), the largest of the three engagement effects. → Liu W 2026
Evidence¶
Liu W 2026¶
Liu W (2026) AI-peer integrated feedback in second language writing classes: exploring students' engagement and writing performance. Front. Psychol. 17:1871951. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1871951
q3 · i3 · causal · r1
One-way ANCOVA on posttest cognitive engagement with pretest covariate in the quasi-experiment. Adjusted means were 4.07 (experimental) versus 3.02 (control), "mean difference = 1.05, 95% CI [0.77, 1.33]"; partial η2 = 0.32, the largest of the three engagement effects.
"ANCOV A for cognitive engagement also yielded a significant main effect of group ( F(1, 119) = 57.03, p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.32)."
