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? Onrubia and Engel's analysis, using coding and frequency counts in an exploratory case study rather than statistical generalization, suggests that what matters for collaborative learning outcomes is the classroom orchestration of a macro-script by the teacher rather than the design of the script alone. → Gerry Stahl 2012

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

Stahl reports Onrubia and Engel's study relating patterns of teacher assistance, forms of collaborative student-group work, and group performance under a macro-script, concluding that what is important is not simply the design of a macro-script, but the teacher's classroom orchestration that enacts the script in unpredictable teaching situations.

"Something like skillfully making rounds is needed."
