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.
q3 i? Model-tracing/cognitive and example-tracing tutors were the most frequently authored ITS types, sharing Anderson's ACT Theory of Cognition as a common tutoring theory. → Diego Dermeval 2018

q3 · i? · review · r3
RQ2 classification of ITS types across the 33 studies, with categories defined during synthesis from the types explicitly stated by study authors. The review reports these two types account for "almost 40% of the total of papers included in this review", with example-tracing reducing technical costs by building cognitive models by demonstration.
"Model-tracing/Cognitive Tutor and Example-tracing ITS types are responsible for almost 40% of the total of papers included in this review."
