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? Of 341 articles screened in full text, only 7% explicitly linked educational or learning theories with EERs, while about 37% lacked any theoretical basis and 56% engaged only in name-dropping. → Vorderobermeier 2024

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
Systematic review using the ROSES schema across Scopus, EbscoHost, and Web of Science; 876 records retrieved, 341 retained for full-text screening. The review reports the percentage breakdown: "only 7% explicitly linked considerations of educational theories and approaches with EERs".
"Approximately 37% of the articles lacked any educational or learning-theoretical basis. Slightly more than half (56%) merely engaged in name-dropping or had a very weak connection to EERs, and only 7% explicitly linked considerations of educational theories and approaches with EERs as teaching tools."
