Subclaims¶

q3 i? The distribution of the 839 coded teacher support actions differed significantly between groups, with more actions in the EG. → Fan Chen 2026 q3 i? Hypothesis & Planning and Procedural Scaffolding were more frequent in the EG, whereas Content Delivery and Knowledge Assessment were more frequent in the CG. → Fan Chen 2026 (2)

Fan Chen 2026¶

Fan Chen, Gaowei Chen. (2026). How a technology-augmented inquiry approach affects teacher practice and student learning in disadvantaged science classrooms. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-026-09788-1

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Frequency and chi-square analysis of video-coded teacher support actions across six recorded inquiry sessions (three per group); statistics are as printed, no effect size reported.

"A total of 839 discrete teacher support actions were coded, with a higher frequency observed in the EG ( n = 454) than in the CG ( n = 385). This difference suggests that the technology-augmented approach elicited more frequent instructional interactions. A chi-square test confirmed a significant difference in the distribution of teacher support actions between the groups [χ²(8) = 119.914, p < 0.001]"

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Comparative action counts from the video analysis (final coding at Cohen’s kappa = 0.86): A1 83 vs 14, B2 89 vs 38, and Content Delivery (C1) more frequent in the CG (156 vs 62), C2 98 vs 41. The article concludes TAIA reoriented the teacher's role toward scaffolding inquiry.

"Hypothesis & Planning (A1) occurred approxi- mately six times more frequently in the EG (83 instances vs. 14 in the CG), indicating a greater emphasis on monitoring and guiding students’ initial inquiry tasks."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• TAIA produced higher adjusted post-test scientific achievement than worksheet-supported inquiry, controlling for pre-test and ICT competency — related
• Under TAIA the teacher enacted an inquiry-centered instructional loop with repeated within-phase support sequences, identified through lag sequential analysis — related
• TAIA students perceived more teacher support for hypothesis generation and argumentation and enjoyed inquiry more; perceived experiment-related support did not differ — related
• Teachers use extracted analytics more for supervision than for guidance, with monitoring the dominant observed action — related
• Perceived teacher support in the hypothesis and experimentation phases correlated positively with post-test achievement in both groups; argumentation-support and enjoyment correlations emerged only across the pooled sample — related
