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.
q3 i? Chi-square tests showed notes with openness for both components of expression of uncertainty had more follow-up than expected, notes with openness for both components of community orientation had less follow-up than expected, and notes lacking openness for building knowledge had less follow-up than expected. → van Heijst 2019

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Chi-square tests relating the four discourse acts to follow-up among the 594 analyzed units. The article reports "Notes having openness for both components of expression of uncertainty had more follow up than expected ( χ2(2) = 11.93, p <. 0 1 )" and notes open on community orientation had less follow-up (χ2(2) = 13.91). These are observational associations from chi-square tests on existing discourse; they do not show that the discourse acts cause follow-up.
"For the social dimension, notes having openness for both components of community orientation had less follow-up than expected ( χ2(2) = 13.91, p < .01), while expression of self showed no significant association with follow-up. On the other hand, for the cognitive dimension, notes lacking openness for building knowledge had less follow-up than expected ( χ2(2) = 10.93, p < .01). Notes having openness for both components of expression of uncertainty had more follow up than expected ( χ2(2) = 11.93, p <. 0 1 ) ."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Context characteristics (community type, trimester, teacher-student role) have little impact on openness; teachers contribute more social openness and receive less follow-up — related
- Social openness components transactivity and authority are associated with less follow-up, and dimension-level openness shows no significant association with follow-up — related
- In Knowledge Forum discourse, three components (connecting knowledge, transactivity, authority) dominated notes, and cognitive openness components predicted follow-up while social openness components predicted slightly reduced follow-up — related
