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? Across the five temporal KCNs, intelligent tutoring systems are the most long-lasting research focus, and MOOCs emerged as a core concern from 2014 onward. → Shihui Feng & Nancy Law 2021

q2 · i? · review · r2
Meso-level modularity clustering of five temporal KCNs (2010–2019). The ITS cluster persists across all periods with high connections to other clusters, while "'massive open online course' occurs for the first time as a large knowledge cluster" in 2014-15 and remains a core concern through 2014-19.
"'Intelligent tutoring system' is the most long-lasting research focus of the field. This cluster contains a large number of keywords and has high connections with other clusters within the field across each time period."
