q2 · i? · causal · r1

Authors' interpretation of their mixed-methods evaluation with 48 children: they state that "a plausible explanation for this can be found in the qualitative data." The qualitative findings themselves are not reproduced in the supplied text, so the specific explanation is not extractable.

"A plausible explanation for this can be found in the qualitative data. The implications of these results and improvement proposals are also discussed in this work."
