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 workshops differed not on whether to use real-world projects but on the degree of structure and instructor direction: faculty proposed instructor-driven formats such as prompt-first courses and reverse-engineering modules, while students favored greater autonomy in selecting problems and pathways. → Reshaping Undergraduate Computer Science Education in the Generative AI Era 2026

q1 · i? · qualitative · r1
Cross-workshop comparison of the faculty and student workshops' differing views on structuring project-based and experiential learning. Faculty proposed defined learning scaffolds; students favored self-selected real-world problems and learning pathways.
"The divergence is thus not aboutwhetherto use real-world projects, but about the degree of structure and instructor direction in how those projects are framed."
