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? Despite interest being identified as a powerful basis for learning and achievement, empirical work on interest structure and development over time has been limited. → Akkerman 2020

Akkerman, D. M., Vulperhorst, J. P., & Akkerman, S. F. (2020). A developmental extension to the multidimensional structure of interests. Journal of Educational Psychology, 112(1), 183-203. https://doi.org/10.1037/edu0000361

q1 · i? · associational · r2

The article's motivating statement of the research gap: interest is recognized as important for learning, but "limited empirical work" has examined its structural composition, persistence, stability, and development over time. This is the authors' framing rather than a systematic review result.

"Although interest has been repeatedly identified as a powerful basis for learning and academic achievement, limited empirical work has looked at the structural composition, persistence, stability, and development of interests over time."
