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 i1 Practical innovation ability (B category) is most significantly enhanced (SMD = 0.453), followed by creative thinking (A category, SMD = 0.386) and creative personality and psychology (C category, SMD = 0.283). → Hou 2022
q3 i2 The A+B category combination is most substantially affected (SMD = 0.757), indicating the robotics curriculum bolsters creative thinking and practical innovation ability. → Hou 2022

Moderator analysis across the study's three creativity categories (A creative thinking, B practical innovation ability, C creative personality and psychology). C category was "moderately improved (SMD = 0.283, P < 0.001, 0.21 ≤ SMD ≤ 0.50)"; the A+B combination reached SMD = 0.757.
"student practical innovation ability (B category) is most significantly enhanced (SMD = 0.453, P < 0.001) by robotics education, followed by student creative thinking (A category) (SMD = 0.386, P < 0.001)"
