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? Mismatched encounters (Cases B and C) typically contained all or almost all seven learning actions, suggesting dynamic tension between parties pushes the learning effort further. → Nummijoki 2018

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Cross-case comparison of the four analyzed encounters. In Case B (HCC- & HCW+) the cycle contained all seven learning actions; in Case C (HCC+ & HCW-) it contained six of seven, missing only consolidating.
"Encounters with a mismatch between the client's learning cycle and the worker's learning cycle, exemplified by cases B and C, typically contained all or almost all the learning actions of the ideal-typical cycle"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In encounters where both parties are predominantly expansive, early cycle actions such as questioning and modeling are typically absent and the focus is on implementing and consolidating
- Clients shifted between defensive and expansive stances nearly twice as often as workers, and initiatives connected to physical actions were more effective than verbal hints at triggering shifts
- In encounters where both client and worker are predominantly defensive, the learning cycle stalls before implementing, reflecting and consolidating actions — related
- In 30 home care visits implementing the Mobility Agreement, the most common cycle combination was client-expansive and worker-expansive (40%), yet at least one party was predominantly defensive in 60% of cases — related
