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? Liked ratings for question descriptions and images (semantically modified with cultural references) peaked at 40% cultural density, while hints and feedback (modified only linguistically) peaked at 20%. → Phaedra Mohammed & Permanand Mohan 2015

q2 · i? · design · r2
Analysis of Liked ratings within content categories (Table 3, Fig. 6) showed Max1 at 20% density for hint and feedback types and at 40% for question description and image types; the authors state "the peak in responses occurred at 40 % cultural density" for the semantically modified types.
"For the question description and image content categories, which were modified with the cultural references such as place names, flora, fauna and so on, the peak in responses occurred at 40 % cultural density indicating that students tolerated higher levels of cultural density for these kinds of content and contextualisations."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Student ratings of hint and feedback content trend negatively at 60% cultural density, likely linked to informal dialect — related
- Students rate culturally contextualised educational content positively overall, with the 'Liked' category receiving the largest share of ratings — related
- Student ratings of culturally contextualised content show no statistically significant effects of cultural density level or content type, and no significant interaction — related
