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? In the IW condition the teacher initiated more new information or challenging situations and repeated or confirmed student responses with questioning intonation, while in the TW condition the teacher provided more requested information and asked clarification questions. → Lu 2010

Qualitative and content analysis of transcribed DP role-play discourse under the two conditions, reported in the Results discourse-patterns section. The article states "These scaffolding strategies differences were consistent in the two conditions."
"In the IW condition, the teacher initiated more new information or challenging situations (NI) and repeated or confirmed student responses with a questioning intonation (R). On the other hand, in the TW condition, the teacher provided more information that was asked by the students (IR) and asked clarification questions (Q) from the students (Fig. 2)."

Related Claims¶
- The IRE classroom discourse structure constrains students' everyday mathematical register, conjectures, and participation of lower socioeconomic groups — related
- Medical students using an interactive whiteboard with a structured argument template show deeper collaborative and regulatory discourse and better patient-management outcomes than students using traditional whiteboards — related
- The teacher increased task complexity in the IW condition by deteriorating the patient's vital signs in response to student actions, and decreased complexity in the TW condition by structuring the task — related
- The IW-supported group needed less teacher scaffolding in the late problem-solving stage, where nurse and instructor discourse decreased, while scaffolding increased from early to late stage in the TW condition — related
- Unfocused tasks elicit significantly more confirmation checks and clarification requests than focused tasks — related
- Shifting away from traditional IRE recitation toward student participation in discussion improves student learning — related
