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? All nine teacher partners' try-out commitments included a desire to use the Mathspace feature, and after four weeks teachers used more features in integrated ways they had not used before. → McMahon 2024

q2 · i? · qualitative · r?
Qualitative cross-case analysis of nine grade 4-12 teacher partners' written commitments and focus-group data. The article reports that "All nine of their commitments included a desire to use the Mathspace feature" and that teachers' hypotheses expected Mathspace to increase engagement, support multiple representations, and embed assessment and feedback.
"After the first focus group, teachers spent 4 weeks trying something new with Equatio in their practice. All nine of their commitments included a desire to use the Mathspace feature."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Teachers described Equatio as a time-saver for creating instructional materials, with 42% of survey respondents strongly agreeing it saves them time — related
- Most Equatio-using teachers were not using the tool to support UDL-based practices, with only about 22% reporting use of a given UDL affordance on average — related
- When all of a teacher's students had access to Equatio, teachers leveraged it in more robust workflows such as assessments, digital submissions, and timely feedback — related
- Lasting pedagogical change is more likely when teachers try out strategies, receive feedback, and iteratively improve across multiple workshops — a broader claim this one bears on
