q3 i? Of the 24 included articles, only four (Gordillo et al. 2020, Hacke 2019, Hamilton et al. 2021, Veldkamp et al. 2022; Wynn 2021 bracketed) reached the pattern of theoretical grounding with empirical validation. → Vorderobermeier 2024

Table 3 classifies all 24 included articles into six integration patterns across four dimensions (didactic considerations, implementation of specific EER, theory-didactics link, empirical verification). "theoretical grounding with empirical validation" is the strongest pattern, marked for Gordillo, Hacke, Hamilton, and Veldkamp (with Wynn bracketed on empirical verification).
