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? The article evaluated the prototype action selection engines' capability to select rational tutorial actions that emulate the behaviors of human tutors, using simulated students because the engines were not integrated into a complete intelligent tutoring system. → R. Charles Murray 2004

q2 · i? · design · r2
Evaluation study described in the article's abstract: because neither prototype engine was integrated into a complete ITS, the authors "used simulated students" to test whether the engines select rational tutorial actions emulating human tutor behaviors. The abstract states the evaluation purpose but prints no effect size.
"For this study, neither of our action selection engines had been integrated into a complete ITS, so we used simulated students to evaluate their capabilities to select rational tutorial actions that emulate the behaviors of human tutors."
