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 i3 Post-domain knowledge correlated significantly with final model scores (r = 0.541) and with ST-3 interconnections and feedback discourse (r = 0.428). → Dina Soliman 2026

q2 · i3 · design · r3
Correlational analysis (RQ2) among domain knowledge, discourse scores, and model sophistication in the same 43-student class. Printed effect sizes: final model scores r = 0.541 (p < 0.001) and ST-3 discourse r = 0.428 (p = 0.008); correlations the article reports as significant.
"Table 6 presents a significant correlation between post-domain knowledge and final model scores (r(37) = 0.541, p < 0.001), and with systems thinking discourse (ST-3) focusing on interconnections and feedback (r(36) = 0.428, p = 0.008)."
