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? Post-session surveys showed higher reported confidence in the Coach condition, with a larger gain over seven weeks, than in the unrestricted condition. → Azimi 2026

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Self-report survey evidence from the same 33-student pilot, comparing the Coach condition against the unrestricted condition on pre/post confidence surveys. The article reports the confidence gain "was larger in the Coach condition"; no effect size is printed.
"students in the Coach condition reported higher confidence in their own competence than students in the unrestricted condition, and the gain in reported confidence over the seven weeks was larger in the Coach condition."

Related Claims¶
- A scaffolded AI Study Coach produced no assignment-performance or concept-inventory advantage over unrestricted AI use in a master's programming course pilot — related
- Students in both conditions named awareness of their reliance on AI as the most valuable course outcome, and unrestricted-AI students described shallow engagement they could not stop — related
