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? The four behavioral clusters identified for one group appeared in the other groups studied, which the authors interpret as probably reflecting shared cultural norms among junior and senior university students. → Rachel E. Scherr and David Hammer 2007

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Cross-group observational finding from the four-hour tutorial video corpus covering three groups and three tutorials. The authors state the recurrence of clusters across groups "is a finding in itself, probably reflecting a set of cultural norms shared by the participants."
"The fact that the behavioral clusters identified for one group appeared in others as well is a finding in itself, probably reflecting a set of cultural norms shared by the participants (almost all of whom are junior and senior university students)."
