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 articulated intersections between their crafting and computation, describing loops in weaving and coding in fabric manipulation. → Anna Keune 2022

Anna Keune (2022). Material syntonicity: Examining computational performance and its materiality through weaving and sewing crafts. Journal of the Learning Sciences. https://doi.org/10.1080/10508406.2022.2100704
q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Semi-structured crafting interviews with each student at least once per unit. One participant stated "I did loops," and a fabric manipulation student said it was "almost like coding your hands to do something rather than an actual computer," linking bodily performance to computational concepts.
"When asked, students articulated intersections of weaving and computation, providing pointers toward whether and how weaving can become a context for computational learning. For example, one of the participants stated “I did loops,” directly connecting their crafting with the computational concept of loops."
