q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Student self-reports across the five sites in post-surveys and focus groups; the majority "reported that the tool helped them recognize areas for improvement in their writing." Perceived improvement, not measured writing quality.

"The majority of students reported that the tool helped them recognize areas for improvement in their writing."

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Classroom observation at School A during implementation; one student's rubric "Compare" and "Contrast" scores rose "from 0 to 2" after CyberScholar feedback and revision. A single observed case, not a measured outcome.

"during classroom observation, it was possible to visualize that Student 2 - School A improved the following items from the rubric “Compare” and “Contrast” score from 0 to 2."
