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? Person-centered analysis identified four scaffold-use subgroups; the metacognitive and strategic subgroups solved more problems correctly, and the metacognitive subgroup had better efficacy and confidence scores than the moderate and low scaffold-use subgroups. → Joep van der Graaf 2023

q2 · i? · review · r2

The introduction reports, citing J. Zheng et al. (this issue), a person-centered study with university medical students in which scaffolds addressed conceptual understanding, strategy execution, and metacognition, and four subgroups were identified based on interaction frequency and scaffold type. No effect sizes are printed.

"The metacognitive and strategic subgroups solved more problems correctly, and the metacognitive subgroup had better efficacy and confidence scores than the other subgroups (moderate and low scaffold use)."
