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? Only two of the 17 features appeared in more than one site's final model; help abuse (HPQ) carried a negative association with learning in both the Philippines and United States models. → Amy Ogan 2015

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Forward-selection regression models built per site on log-derived features predicting learning (post-test minus pre-test); the article reports "Help abuse (HPQ) is negatively associated with learning in both the Philippines and United States data sets" with coefficients in Table 3.
"Only two features appeared in the final model of more than one data set: help avoidance and help abuse."

Related Claims¶
- Students at all three international sites showed significant pre-test to post-test learning gains with the Scatterplot Tutor — related
- Help-seeking skill models built from ITS practice data were not transferable across Costa Rican, Philippine, and US contexts (reported by Ogan et al., 2014) — related
- Each site's help-seeking model predicted learning in its own data, with widely differing fit (Costa Rica r=0.462, U.S. r=0.350, Philippines r=0.126) — related
- AHS is frequently positively associated with academic performance among preservice teachers, but one study found a negative association explained by help-abuse — related
- Help-seeking models transfer above chance across sites but perform poorly on the Costa Rican data — related
- Pre-test score differences do not explain the cross-cultural differences in effective help-seeking behaviors — related
