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.
q2 i? Qualitative findings across 11 studies show learners valued safe, repeatable, low-pressure practice environments and reported enhanced confidence and reduced anxiety. → Jiang Hongzhan 2026

q2 · i? · review · r3
Thematic analysis of qualitative data from 11 studies (focus groups, think-aloud protocols, debriefing questions, open-ended feedback) identified pedagogical benefits including "enhanced confidence and reduced anxiety" and safe, repeatable, low-pressure practice environments.
"Pedagogical benefits included enhanced confidence and reduced anxiety [45525355], improved communication skills and clinical reasoning [4750525455], and provision of safe, repeatable, low-pressure practice environments [4552-54undefinedundefined]."
