q2 i? Connections between MA and SA showed fewer shared codes and weaker links than other relationships. → Kyong Mi Choi 2026 q2 i? SR–MA, MA–MR, SR–SA, and SA–MR relationships revealed richer commonalities including representation, problem solving appropriateness, knowledge connection, and result generation/extension. → Kyong Mi Choi 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Triangulation comparing common cognitive resources identified through AI-assisted qualitative coding in ATLAS.ti with researchers' manual coding. The comparison found "fewer shared codes and weaker links" between MA and SA, while SR–MA, MA–MR, SR–SA, and SA–MR relationships revealed richer commonalities such as representation and knowledge connection.

"Connections between MA and SA showed fewer shared codes and weaker links than other relationships, as MA emphasized formal representation and procedural optimization while SA focused on empirical context, meaning-making, and explanation"
