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.
q3 i? Of the 42 studies, 9 used first-hand data, 23 second-hand data, and 10 both; first-hand data contexts emphasized understanding problems and designing experiments, while second-hand data was more commonly associated with applying statistical methods and synthesizing results. → Jina Kang 2026

q3 · i? · review · r3
Data-type coding of the 42 reviewed studies. The review reports the distribution of first-hand, second-hand, and both data types and relates them to grade levels and domains (Fig. 7).
"Specifically, 9 studies employed first-hand data collected by students, 23 studies used second-hand data (either given to students or retrieved by students from repositories), and 10 studies used both."
