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.
q1 i? For three of eleven think-aloud teachers, understandability alone did not establish trust; they reported that real classroom experience with results aligning with expectations is needed. → Yael Feldman-Maggor 2025

q1 · i? · causal · r1
Qualitative think-aloud analysis. One teacher said: "The more I will experiment and obtain results that align with my expectations, the more I will trust the system." The article notes the relation between understandability and trust is not straightforward.
"For three teachers, understandability alone was insufficient to establish trust in the AI tool. These teachers reported that, for them, real classroom experience is needed to gain trust in the system."
