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? Theory-driven thematic analysis of the 12 most characteristic feedback texts per topic (72 texts total) assigned a coherent theme to each of the six topics, and similar constructs were found in extant SET literature. → Hujala 2020
Evidence¶
Hujala 2020¶
Hujala, M., Knutas, A., Hynninen, T., & Arminen, H. (2020). Improving the quality of teaching by utilising written student feedback: A streamlined process. Computers & Education. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2020.103965
q2 · i? · design · r2
Qualitative evaluation in which three authors applied theory-driven codes from Grebennikov & Shah (2013) and Pan et al. (2009) to the 12 most characteristic feedback texts for each topic, then compared the resulting themes with SET determinants from previous studies, finding that "each topic has a coherent theme".
"As shown, each topic has a coherent theme, and similar constructs can be found in extant literature. The main themes were good content, dissatisfaction with personnel or the course, workload, stress and good teaching methods."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- LDA topic modelling of 6,087 written student feedback responses yields six SET-related topics — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Feedback questionnaire wording affects LDA topic results, more for emotional value than content — related
- Topic 4 (dissatisfaction with workload) contradicts thematic analysis and appears invalid — related
