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.
q3 i? Technical-execution rubric scores fell significantly, with a substantially steeper time coefficient than conceptual understanding, supporting H2. → Francisco José Jiménez-Hornero 2026

q3 · i? · associational · r2
LMM analysis of technical-execution rubric scores for the same 40-student cohort across three time points. Predicted means fell from 3.64 to 2.76; the β = −0.44 coefficient "reflected a substantially steeper rate of decline than that observed for conceptual understanding".
"For the technical-execution rubric, the fixed effect of time was even stronger, F(2, 78) = 47.3, p < 0.001. Predicted means dropped from T0 ( M = 3.64, 95% CI [3.50, 3.78]) to T1 ( M = 3.12, 95% CI [2.98, 3.26]) and T2 (M = 2.76, 95% CI [2.61, 2.91]). The corresponding time coefficient (β = − 0.44, SE = 0.05) reflected a substantially steeper rate of decline than that observed for conceptual understanding."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The correlation between conceptual understanding and procedural execution weakened over time, becoming largely independent after one year
- Technologically oriented help requests comprised 11.5% of requests and declined steeply from the first to the last post-experiment activity
- Procedural losses were steepest for axis labeling and annotations, while conceptual losses were steepest for explanation of scales and terminology — related
- Doctoral students' conceptual understanding of data visualization declined significantly over twelve months following structured instruction — related
