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.
q1 i? The special-issue authors found popular dimensional models of national culture did not live up to their apparent promise for culturally aware educational technology design. → Amy Ogan & W. Lewis Johnson 2015
Evidence¶
Amy Ogan & W. Lewis Johnson 2015¶
Amy Ogan & W. Lewis Johnson. (2015). Preface for the Special Issue on Culturally Aware Educational Technologies. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-015-0036-1
q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
An evaluative statement by the editors citing Hall et al.'s judgment that Hofstede dimensions are "zoomed-out abstractions"; it is an interpretive assessment, not an empirical test, and no data are reported.
"However, the authors of this article did not find them to live up to this potential; as Hall et al. ( 2014) note, "The Hofstede dimensions are zoomed-out abstractions, derived from aggregated society-wide analysis.""
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Integrating culture in ICT design serves a broader scope than current methods recognise, from culture-neutral to culture-specific — related
- Hofstede's five-dimension cultural model is frequently mapped as a guide to user interface design in HCI — reports the opposite
- Help-seeking skill models built from ITS practice data were not transferable across Costa Rican, Philippine, and US contexts (reported by Ogan et al., 2014) — related
