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? Situational interest significantly positively predicted perceived learning engagement (β = .471, p < .001). → Joseph T. Wong 2026 q2 i? User experience significantly positively predicted perceived learning engagement (β = .227, p < .001). → Joseph T. Wong 2026 (2) q2 i? The overall regression model was highly significant (F(2, 291) = 99.84, p < .001) with R² = .407. → Joseph T. Wong 2026 (3)

Evidence¶

Joseph T. Wong 2026¶

Joseph T. Wong, Jessica Cai, Isabelle S. Lerner, Jiwon Lee, Lindsey Engle Richland. (2026). Supporting children's engagement through learning experience design, situational interest, and user experience: implementing a blended learning math experience in the classroom. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-026-10637-8

q2 · i? · design · r2

Multiple regression with PLE as outcome in the elementary blended math survey study; the article reports a significant positive effect of students' SI on their PLE with β = .471, p < .001. No standardized effect size beyond the coefficient is printed.

"The regression results indicated a significant positive effect of students' SI on their PLE (β = .471, p < .001)"

Joseph T. Wong 2026 (2)¶

q2 · i? · design · r?

The same multiple regression analysis reports a significant positive effect of students' UX scores on PLE with β = .227, p < .001; no separate effect size is printed.

"a significant positive effect was observed for students' UX scores on PLE (β = .227, p < .001)"

Joseph T. Wong 2026 (3)¶

q2 · i? · design · r2

The regression model combining SI and UX accounted for 40.7% of variance in PLE (R2 = .407); the ANOVA showed the overall model was highly significant (F(2, 291) = 99.84, p < .001).

"students' SI and UX accounted for 40.7% of the variance in PLE, as indicated by the model's R-squared value (R2 = .407)"

Learner Variables¶

Interest — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
