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 i? The review identified nine theories and models used in EER research: socio-cultural approach/social constructivism, active learning, collaborative learning, experiential learning, problem-based learning, situated learning theory, self-determination theory, flow theory, and Bloom's taxonomy. → Vorderobermeier 2024

Vorderobermeier, A., Abel, J., & Sailer, M. (2024). Theoretical foundations and approaches in research on educational escape rooms: A systematic review. Educational Research Review, 44, 100625. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2024.100625
q3 · i? · review · r2
The review's synthesis of the 24 included articles (2016-2022, mostly higher education) enumerates the theoretical landscape. The quote lists "nine theories and models" exactly as identified across empirical, developmental, and review articles.
"The systematic review shows that empirical studies, articles about development, and systematic reviews on EERs have used nine theories and models: Socio-cultural Approach to Learning and Social Constructivism, Active Learning, Collaborative Learning, Experiential Learning, Problem-Based Learning, Situated Learning Theory, Self-Determination Theory, Flow Theory and Bloom’s Taxonomy."
