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? 92% of scripts were simulations for demonstration (with or without exploration), and 46% of all scripts enabled exploration. → Ragonis 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Quantitative frequency analysis of all 375 summative-assignment submissions, categorized by the study's taxonomy. The analysis found "the prevalence of simulations for demonstration, with and without exploration (92%)", with half of those enabling exploration; only 8% reflected a tutoring model.
"The data, presented in Table 5 (rows 3 and 4), shows the prevalence of simulations for demonstration, with and without exploration (92%), with exactly half of these simulations incorporating options for exploration"
