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? Two articles directly compared supplement versus replacement integration and suggested both ways may have equivalent effectiveness. → Jing Chen 2026
Evidence¶
Jing Chen 2026¶
Jing Chen. (2026). A systematic review of using tablet games to promote early math learning in preschool settings: effectiveness and influencing factors. Educational technology research and development. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-026-10626-x
q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
School-level factor synthesis: the review reports that only two of the included articles directly compared supplement versus replacement integration, and both suggested "equivalent effectiveness"; most other studies adopted one mode without comparison.
"Notably, two articles directly compared the two ways of integration, suggesting that using tablet-based games as either a supplement or a replacement may have equivalent effectiveness (Outhwaite et al., 2017, 2019)."
