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 i? Metacognitive open inquiry interventions produced more positive environmental values than control groups. → Muhamad Dah 2024
q2 i? Students' expression of competence and autonomy increased as open inquiry progressed to the conducting stage. → Muhamad Dah 2024 (2)
Evidence¶
Muhamad Dah 2024¶
Muhamad Dah, N., Mat Noor, M. S. A., Kamarudin, M. Z., & Syed Abdul Azziz, S. S. (2024). The impacts of open inquiry on students' learning in science: A systematic literature review. Educational Research Review, 43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2024.100601
q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Adler et al. (2016), that in a metacognitive open inquiry intervention "the treatment group showed more positive values related to the environment than the control groups"; Zion et al. (2011) similarly found positive environmental attitudes.
"Adler et al. (2016) developed an intervention of metacognition in an open inquiry activity. They found that the treatment group showed more positive values related to the environment than the control groups."

q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Schwartz et al. (2021), that "the percentage of notes linked to competence was higher" during the conducting stage, and that students demonstrated increasing independence as inquiry progressed.
"Their research suggests that when the inquiry process moves into the conducting stage, it shows a significant difference, as the percentage of notes linked to competence was higher when students were engaged in an open inquiry process"
