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? K-12 teacher communities foreground learning quality and cognitive dependency; higher-education academics foreground AI detection and deliberation; professional-programme student communities foreground career anxiety. → Pelin Yüce 2026
