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 all spatial pedagogy behavioural categories, the postgraduate-teaching group exhibited higher values in RC1 and RC2, whereas the undergraduate-teaching group showed higher values in RC3 and RC4, with RC5 differences varying by category. → Yuchen Liu 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Comparison of rotated component scores by student cohort (undergraduate versus postgraduate) across 34 sessions, using Mann–Whitney U-tests with FDR correction. The results section states the postgraduate-teaching group "exhibited higher values in RC1 and RC2".
"Thepostgraduate-teachinggroup exhibited higher values in RC1 and RC2, whereas the undergraduate-teaching group showed higher values in RC3 and RC4. RC5 differences varied across cat-egories, with higher values observed in the undergraduate-teaching group during Interaction and Collaboration, and higher values in the postgraduate-teaching group during Instruction."
