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? In Case D (HCC+ & HCW+), both parties took expansive stances in all 19 learning actions, with the cycle consisting mainly of implementing (6), reflecting (7) and consolidating (4) actions. → Nummijoki 2018

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Detailed analysis of Case D, a 50-minute visit with 766 turns of talk. The authors report that "the cycle consists mainly of the learning actions of implementing (6 actions), reflecting (7actions) and consolidating (4 actions)" and that questioning, modeling and examining were missing.
"both the client and the home care worker took an expansive stance in all the 19 learning actions of the encounter"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In encounters where both client and worker are predominantly defensive, the learning cycle stalls before implementing, reflecting and consolidating actions
- In 30 home care visits implementing the Mobility Agreement, the most common cycle combination was client-expansive and worker-expansive (40%), yet at least one party was predominantly defensive in 60% of cases
- Encounters with a mismatch between client's and worker's learning cycles typically contained all or almost all learning actions of the ideal-typical expansive cycle
- In a theory-guided in-situ simulation programme, an interprofessional primary care team progressed through the expansive learning cycle from questioning current practice to consolidating new practices — related
- Clients shifted between defensive and expansive stances nearly twice as often as workers, and initiatives connected to physical actions were more effective than verbal hints at triggering shifts — related
