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? Students expressed strong willingness to use GAI tools (e.g., unique insights M = 4.48) but moderate worry about over-reliance (M = 3.38) and low concern about GAI limiting social interaction (M = 2.68). → Wei 2025

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Descriptive survey results from an 18-item modified scale (Cronbach's α = 0.86) administered to the experimental group post-intervention. The article reports "moderate worry about over-reliance (M = 3.38, SD = 0.98)" alongside strong willingness scores (e.g., unique insights M = 4.48, SD = 0.60).
"moderate worry about over-reliance (M = 3.38, SD = 0.98) was observed, with students acknowledging the risk of diminished problem-solving autonomy when GAI tools are heavily integrated into the DST process"
