q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

This is the article's own integrative argument, a theoretical claim in a narrative review: the authors state that DCT "provides a unified explanation for diverse topics in education" and that its mechanistic framework accommodates strategy-level theories. No empirical effect sizes are reported for this integrative claim.

"We show not only that DCT provides a unified explanation for diverse topics in education, but also that its mechanistic framework accommodates theories cast in terms of strategies and other high-level psychological processes."
