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.
q1 i? Fine-grained transcript and gesture analysis shows verbal and embodied participation in on-task and off-task interaction is multilayered and temporally complex, challenging binary classifications of engagement. → Ido Davidesco 2026

q1 · i? · qualitative · r2
Microanalysis (close transcription and analysis of focal video segments by conversation-analysis researchers) of one group's interactions, illustrated in two transcript excerpts (Figs. 6 and 7). It is a qualitative analysis; no effect sizes are printed.
"The organization of verbal and embodied participation in on-task and off-task interaction is thus multilayered and rife with temporal complexity."
