q1 · i? · qualitative · r1

Authors' interpretive statement in the paper's abstract. It presents an explanatory hypothesis linking the documentary design analysis to the experimental study's achievement results, explicitly framed as a hypothesis rather than a tested mediation result.

"The authors hypothesize how these differences could explain the achievement results of the experimental study and discuss additional influential factors to consider."
