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.
q2 i? In a study with pre-service teachers, the style of student interactions with the Robovie-W robot was similar to that with human participants in the learning group, and adaptive learners interacted best with the robot. → Michael J Timms 2016

q2 · i? · design · r?
The paper reports, citing Oshima et al. (2012), a study of Robovie-W supporting engagement in a cooperative learning group of pre-service teachers. The paper notes the robot was largely a Wizard-of-Oz system with pre-scripted explanations and no intelligent learning software.
"They found that the style of student interactions with Robovie-W was similar to that with the human participants in the learning group and that adaptive learners interacted best with the robot."
