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 i3 Students in the VR + self-explanation condition achieved higher knowledge application scores than the control group (d = 0.97). → Adurangba Victor Oje 2026

q3 · i3 · causal · r1

A one-way between-subjects ANOVA compared knowledge application scores on a novel engineering scenario. The VR + self-explanation group scored higher ("M = 8.47, SD = 2.59") than controls (M = 6.26, SD = 1.91), with a moderate-to-large effect.

"Results revealed a statistically significant group difference, F(1, 37) = 8.97, p <.05, partial η2 =.20, indicating a moderate-to-large effect. Students in the VR + self-explanation condition achieved a higher mean score (M = 8.47, SD = 2.59) than those in the control group (M = 6.26, SD = 1.91), with a Cohen's d of 0.97 (95% CI [0.29, 1.64])"
