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.
q1 i? An exploratory case study of eight first-graders reported "more physical activity" during Kid Space learning experiences, with no comparison condition or pre/post measure, so it cannot show that Kid Space increased activity. → Aslan 2022

q1 · exploratory case study · i? · n=8 · qualitative · r1
The exploratory case study with eight first-graders, using a formative research method, reported "more physical activity" among students, addressing parental concerns about screen time reducing physical engagement. The abstract reports no comparison group, baseline or effect size, so the finding describes what was observed during Kid Space sessions, not an increase caused by Kid Space.
"The results show that the students demonstrated high levels of engagement, less attention focused on the screen (projected wall), and more physical activity."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Physical Well-Being — outcome: instruction changes it
