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? Models built to predict transfer-shallow predict PFL-shallow with A′ 0.75, and models built to predict PFL-shallow predict transfer-shallow with A′ 0.73, suggesting the two constructs are substantially related. → Gowda 2013

Evidence

Gowda, S. M., Baker, R. S., Corbett, A. T., & Rossi, L. M. (2013). Towards Automatically Detecting Whether Student Learning is Shallow. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-013-0006-4

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Cross-application analysis applying each shallowness detector to the other construct's labels. Kappa degraded more, dropping to 0.27 for transfer-shallow models predicting PFL-shallow and to 0.41 in the reverse direction, still substantially better than chance.

"When the models built to predict transfer-shallow are applied to predict PFL-shallow, they have very minimal degradation in terms of A ′, achieving an A ′ of 0.75, almost as good as a model trained to predict PFL-shallow."
