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 i1 Field of specialization was significantly associated with developing inquiry-based simulations (X2=20.05; p<0.001; Cramer's V=0.21), with 57% vs. 30% of science vs. humanities/social-science scripts enabling exploration. → Ragonis 2026

q2 · i1 · associational · r1
Chi-square analysis of the association between prospective teachers' fields of specialization and development of inquiry-based simulations across the 375 scripts. The test "revealed a significant difference (X2=20.05; p<0.001)" with Cramer's V=0.21, and 57% vs. 30% exploration rates.
"the Pearson Chi-Square test revealed a significant difference (X2=20.05; p<0.001), with a very strong effect size (Cramer’s V=0.21). This indicates that inquiry-based simulations were significantly more likely to be developed in the fields of exact and natural sciences compared to those developed in the humanities and social sciences (57%, 30%, respectively)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Prospective teachers can identify and script computational processes across all knowledge domains, including humanities and social sciences — related
- Exploration simulations increased with teaching age level and were concentrated in secondary science subjects — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Most prospective teachers produced dynamic simulations rather than tutoring scripts, with 46% adding inquiry-oriented exploration — related
- Study orientation is significantly associated with publication type: computer science/AI-oriented work is disseminated disproportionately through conference papers — related
- Disciplinary background is strongly associated with ChatGPT acceptance profile membership: STEM teachers concentrate in Technology Pioneers, non-STEM teachers in Environmental Observers and Resistant Skeptics — related
