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.
q4 i1 Hybrid feedback significantly outperformed direct GenAI-supported feedback on conceptual learning (Cohen's d = 0.23), while the reflective–direct contrast was positive but did not reach significance (d = 0.17, p = .072). → Ates 2026

Ates, H. (2026). Human-centered GenAI feedback design in higher education: a multisite experiment on direct, reflective, and hybrid approaches to scientific argumentation. International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41239-026-00614-9
q4 · i1 · causal · r3
Linear mixed-effects model for conceptual learning (discipline-specific pre/post assessments, standardized within discipline), F(3, 43.5) = 7.62, p < .001. Table 4 prints small Cohen's d effect sizes: d = 0.23 for Hybrid vs Direct GenAI and d = 0.17 for Reflective vs Direct GenAI.
"Hybrid feedback significantly outperformed direct GenAI-supported feedback, whereas the reflective–direct contrast was positive but did not reach statistical significance after adjustment. Reflective and hybrid feedback did not differ significantly from each other."
