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? Teachers adjusted intervention timing by considering task nature and students' self-regulation capacity, with the interval between difficulty and intervention offering independent problem-solving opportunities. → Hansol Lee 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Cohn et al. (2025), that the moment of difficulty and the moment to intervene are distinct, and the interval between them "could provide students with opportunities to solve problems independently." Conversely, stagnation or accumulated anxiety sometimes prompted immediate intervention.
"Cohn et al. ( 2025) distinguished between the moment when students encountered difficulty and the moment when teachers should actually intervene, suggesting that the interval between these moments could provide students with opportunities to solve problems independently."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Time and Continuity — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

- Contingent scaffolding improves learning more than fixed or absent support. — related
- Immersive learning tools should surface misconceptions and track learner difficulties so instructors can adapt teaching and assessment — related
- Metacognitive self-regulation mediates the relationships between all three AI interaction mechanisms and both higher-order outcomes — related
- In a randomized experiment on fraction problems, participants who used an AI assistant solved fewer unassisted test problems and skipped more than control participants — related
- More teacher support in AI-based instruction is not always better; a review found support worked well when balanced with students' autonomy and independent thinking — a broader claim this one bears on
- Reduction of cognitive load can sometimes impair learning rather than enhance it — related
