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? The robot (p=.07), PPT (p=.06), and paper (p=.67) groups all showed increases in intrinsic motivation that were not statistically significant. → Ka Yan Fung 2025

Ka Yan Fung 2025¶
Ka Yan Fung, Tze Leung Rick Lui, Yuxing Tao and Kuen Fung SIN. (2025). MotiBo: The Impact of Interactive Digital Storytelling Robots on Student Motivation through Self-Determination Theory. https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.01218 doi:10.48550/arxiv.2601.01218
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Intrinsic motivation results from the efficacy verification section of the quasi-experiment; the robot group's +20.21% gain had p=.07, with PPT (p=.06) and paper (p=.67) also non-significant. No effect sizes are printed.
"The robot group manifested improvement, p =.07 (pre-test: M,= 78.33, σ =21.31; post-test: M,= 94.17, σ =7.51; +20.21%)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
