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.
q2 i? The robot (p=.06), PPT (p=.11), and paper (p=.38) groups all showed increases in emotional engagement that did not reach statistical significance. → Ka Yan Fung 2025
Evidence¶
Ka Yan Fung 2025¶
Ka Yan Fung, Tze Leung Rick Lui, Yuxing Tao and Kuen Fung SIN. (2025). MotiBo: The Impact of Interactive Digital Storytelling Robots on Student Motivation through Self-Determination Theory. https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.01218 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2601.01218
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Emotional engagement results from the efficacy verification section; the robot group's +23.08% gain had p=.06, and the PPT and paper groups' gains (p=.11, p=.38) were also non-significant. No effect sizes are printed, so impact is null.
"The robot group demonstrated improvement, p =.06 (pre-test: M,= 75.83, σ =22.80; post-test: Mj= 93.33, σ =7.97; +23.08%)."
