q2 i? First-generation students asked fewer questions overall than continuing-generation students in both sessions (Session 1: 161 vs 271 questions; Session 2: 159 vs 239 questions). → Matin Amoozadeh and Amin Alipour 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Descriptive comparison of question counts by generation status across the two sessions, reported in the article's frequency analysis of the 830-prompt dataset. The article states these patterns are descriptive and no shifts reached significance after Bonferroni correction.

"For exam- ple, in Session 1, 26 first-generation students asked 161 questions, whereas 34 continuing-generation students asked 271 questions. A similar pattern is observed in Session 2, where 20 first-generation students asked 159 questions compared to 239 questions asked by 17 continuing-generation students."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Socioeconomic Status — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause

Related Claims¶

• 75% of student-authored physics questions met combined high-quality criteria (clear, correct, plausible distractors, above recall, adequate explanation) — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Continuing-generation students showed higher usage of procedural and directive question types, while first-generation students leaned toward verification and expectational questions — related
• Students' question types shift from confusion-reporting toward procedural and task-oriented inquiry as tasks progress, though the session difference did not reach conventional significance — related
• Students' inquiry sequences differ by session: most start with Assertion questions in Session 1 (prob = 0.48) but with Instrumental/Procedural questions in Session 2 (prob = 0.43) — related
