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? Average perceived learning benefit dropped from 0.67 in Week 3 to 0.47 in the final survey on a −1 to +2 scale, even as satisfaction remained high. → Yuan An 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Multi-wave descriptive survey analysis across the 10-week quarter measured perceived learning effect on a scale from −1 (task completion only) to +2 (deepening conceptual understanding); the score "dropped from 0.67 in Week 3 to 0.47 in the final survey."
"the average score dropped from 0.67 in Week 3 to 0.47 in the final survey, even as satisfaction remained high."
