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? The model categories can be annotated in a reliable way and the model components showed empirical validity. → Thomas Daniel Ullmann 2019

q3 · i? · design · r2
The article reports that empirical tests of the theoretical model, built on crowdsourced annotations of student sentences, showed the categories "can be annotated in a reliable way" and that the components showed empirical validity — unlike prior reflection models, for which no such evidence had been reported.
"The empirical tests of the theoretical model show that the model categories can be annotated in a reliable way and the model components showed empirical validity."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Machine learning detects five of eight reflective-writing categories with substantial or almost perfect reliability and three with moderate reliability (Cohen's κ .53–.85) — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Prior machine learning research on reflection detection covers only partial models with no evidence of empirical validity and mostly no reported inter-rater reliability — related
