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? Significantly more Sharing (SHAR) tags were noted in cohorts III and IV compared to cohorts I and II, attributed to increased need for remote teaching materials. → Zahava Scherz · Asaf Salman · Giora Alexandron · Yael Shwartz 2023
q2 i? After the outbreak there was no significant change in Sharing volume between cohort III and cohort IV, indicating Sharing became a norm in the L-PLC. → Zahava Scherz · Asaf Salman · Giora Alexandron · Yael Shwartz 2023 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Chi-square comparisons of coded sub-category frequencies across the four cohorts found significantly higher Sharing tags in the pandemic cohorts; the authors attribute this to the increased need for remote teaching materials during COVID-19.
"A significantly higher number of Sharing (SHAR) tags — which refers to shares in teaching and learning materials, instructional apps, and information of scientific contents — was noted in cohorts III and IV, as compared to cohorts I and II."

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Follow-up comparison between the two pandemic cohorts showed the high volume of Sharing remained relatively steady between cohort III and cohort IV, which the authors interpret as Sharing having become a norm in the L-PLC.
"After the outbreak, the high volume of Sharing was relatively steady, with no significant change between cohort III and cohort IV; indicating that Sharing became a norm in the L-PLC."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- COVID-19 accelerated professional knowledge exchange (CK and PCK) in the L-PLC WhatsApp discourse, with tags significantly higher in pandemic cohorts — related
- Requests for and sharing of technological knowledge rose sharply during COVID-19 (TK from 9 to 206 tags; ASK-TK from 6 to 82 tags between cohorts I and III) — related
- Positive Feedback tags peaked significantly in the first pandemic cohort, interpreted as socioemotional support during a time of crisis — related
