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? Students in both conditions evaluated their programming modality positively on the TAM survey, with no significant difference between HPL and Scratch perception. → Brender 2025

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Student perception survey administered during the last lesson, adapted from the technology acceptance model survey of Teo (2009), covering usefulness, ease of use, attitude/interest, complexity, self-efficacy and behavioural intention. The abstract reports that "students perceived HPL as positively as Scratch"; the article states the pre- and post-test scores and questionnaire responses were compared between groups through a Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric one-way ANOVA.
"To evaluate students’ perception of their experience with either the HPL or Scratch platform (RQ4), a survey was administered during the last lesson"
