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? Texts implicitly request understanding but do not explicitly request students to produce a written or spoken output; any resulting learning event (e.g., note-taking) is not explicitly prompted. → Kenneth R. Koedinger 2007
Evidence¶
Kenneth R. Koedinger 2007¶

q1 · i? · review · r?
A definitional/interpretive note distinguishing passive instructional events from interactive ones: texts implicitly request understanding but not production, and any active learning event such as note-taking is not explicitly prompted.
"While texts come with an at least implicit request to have students try to understand them, they do not explicitly request students to produce a written or spoken output."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Student narratives complicated the educator assumption that copied AI answers imply no learning, revealing invisible post-AI learning activities — related
- Comparing original texts to model paragraphs prompted noticing that was again focused on lexical features — related
- Constructive learning beats active and passive learning — a broader claim this one bears on
