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 Teachers’ perceived usefulness of AI-based technologies increased significantly from pre- to post-test following INSIGHT, with a small effect (d = −0.32 as printed). → Mesenhöller J and Böhme K 2026

q2 · i1 · causal · r1
Pilot pre-post evaluation of the INSIGHT training with paired-samples t-tests on the SAELKIS subscales (N = 100 teachers). The article reports "a significant increase in PU from pre- to post-test" with the printed statistics above; pre-test PU was M = 2.89 (SD = .49), post-test M = 3.02 (SD = .52).
"A paired-samples t-test revealed a significant increase in PU from pre- to post-test, t(99) = −3.24, p = .002, mean difference = −0.14, 95% CI [−0.22, −0.05], d = −0.32, 95% CI [−0.52, −0.12]."
