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? Teachers described moving from answer-oriented instruction toward activities inviting learners to formulate questions, compare explanations, and participate in inquiry, indicating design intentions for learner participation and choice rather than demonstrated student agency. → Hochberg N and Waitzman R 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Qualitative strand of an embedded mixed-methods study of teachers in an eight-week AI professional development program; hybrid thematic analysis of reflections and artifacts. A participant reported, "Instead of giving students answers, I started using AI to help them formulate better questions." The article notes these accounts indicate intentions, not students' experienced agency.
"Instead of giving students answers, I started using AI to help them formulate better questions."
