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? Computer availability per class varied across the five schools but showed no pattern distinguishing 'traditional' from 'innovative' schools. → Sandra de Koster 2017

Sandra de Koster, Monique Volman, Els Kuiper. (2017). Concept-guided development of technology in 'traditional' and 'innovative' schools: quantitative and qualitative differences in technology integration. Education Tech Research Dev 65:1325–1344. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-017-9527-0
q2 · i? · design · r2
Quantitative comparison based on Table 7 of the embedded case studies. Three schools had around seven computers per class on average, while at one 'traditional' and one 'innovative' school each class had around ten; the article reports the numbers "did differ between the schools, but not between the school types".
"The numbers of computers per class (desktop and laptop) did differ between the schools, but not between the school types, as shown in Table 7."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Concept-guided development produced no significant difference between 'traditional' and 'innovative' schools in the total number of different technology tools used — related
- Teachers at all five schools perceived the developed technology as common and indispensable, with no differences between school types — related
- A tool's effectiveness results from the whole configuration of events, activities, and contexts in which it is used — a broader claim this one bears on
