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 i2 Teachers' perceived ease of use of OER significantly improved after the OEP experience (Z = 2.68, p = .01, r = 0.26). → Hengtao Tang 2021
q2 i2 Teachers' self-efficacy toward OER significantly improved after the OEP experience (Z = 2.54, p = .01, r = 0.25). → Hengtao Tang 2021 (2)
Evidence¶
Hengtao Tang 2021¶
Hengtao Tang, Yu-Ju Lin, & Yingxiao Qian. (2021). Improving K-12 Teachers' Acceptance of Open Educational Resources by Open Educational Practices: A Mixed Methods Inquiry. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-021-10046-z
q2 · i2 · causal · r1
One-group pretest-posttest quantitative phase with 54 teachers completing both tests in a 16-week online course. Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed PE post-test median significantly higher, with the article noting effect sizes "range between small and medium" (r = 0.26).
"Specifically, post-test scores for PE (Mdn = 12.00) were significantly higher than that of pre-tests (Mdn = 11.00), Z = 2.68, p = .01, r = 0.26."

q2 · i2 · causal · r1
Same one-group pretest-posttest quantitative phase (N = 54 analyzed). Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed SE significantly improved, r = 0.25, an effect the article describes as between small and medium.
"For SE, post-test scores (Mdn = 8.00) also significantly improved from pre-tests (Mdn = 8.00), Z = 2.54, p = .01, r = 0.25."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Qualitative findings indicate OEP cultivated authentic OER awareness, increased self-efficacy, and fostered positive attitudes among K-12 teachers — related
- OEP experience did not significantly change teachers' perceived usefulness, attitudes, subjective norm, job-fit, or intention to use OER — related
- Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of GenAI tools significantly predict teachers' attitudes and behavioural intention — related
