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? 95.65% of sciences-oriented students assimilated the optimized bubble-sort algorithm versus 73.91% of humanities-oriented students, as reflected in black-box task performance. → Katai 2020

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experiment with 48 undergraduates (25 S, 23 H) using software-registered errors and help requests during the black-box orchestration task. The article reports "95.65% of the S-students (group-Sa) assimilated the studied algorithm" versus 73.91% for H-students; no significance test is printed for this contrast.
"Analyzing the on-line reports we concluded that 95.65% of the S-students (group-Sa) assimilated the studied algorithm. In the case of H-students this percentage was 73.91% (group-Ha)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Sciences-oriented students reported significantly higher estimated understanding of the sorting strategy, while humanities-oriented students overestimated their understanding after the seeing phases until doing phases corrected it — related
- Per-topic performance varied: NP-completeness scored highest ROUGE-1 F1 (0.1285), sorting algorithms highest pedagogical quality (0.8250), and recurrence relations lowest pedagogical quality (0.6629) — related
