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? Among historical-method uses, uniformitarianism accounted for 48.8% and constructing proper taxonomies 34.2%, while evaluating independent lines of inquiry for convergence was not represented at all. → Do-Yong Park and Mira Park 2013

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Coding of historical-method elements in the sampled Holt Earth Science inquiry tasks. The article also reports relic interpretation at 12.2% and place substituting for time in stage theorizing at 4.9%, and states that evaluating independent lines of inquiry for convergence was not represented at all.
"nearly half the inquiry tasks used the ''adhering to the modern principle of uniformitarianism'' (20 times, 48.8%). ''Constructing proper taxonomies'' made up 14 (34.2%) of the inquiry tasks"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Pre-service teachers' self-efficacy and instructional-planning levels were relatively high, but Bloom taxonomy classification was low — related
- Holt Earth Science inquiry tasks emphasize making multiple observations and developing theories about mechanisms but omit several authentic scientific inquiry features — related
- Evaluating knowledge organization systems by correctness alone is atemporal and must account for change over time — related
- Older students more often represent the historical subject as heterogeneous — related
- Universal formal schooling is an historically recent phenomenon — related
