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? The dominant coded reaction in WOZ II transcripts was using the hint directly after reading it (N = 32). → Sandra Schulz · Bruce M. McLaren · Niels Pinkwart 2023
q2 i? Neutral reactions also occurred, including reading but not discussing the message with the partner (N = 11). → Sandra Schulz · Bruce M. McLaren · Niels Pinkwart 2023 (2)

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Qualitative transcript analysis of video-recorded WOZ II lab sessions in which 6 students in pairs received hints from a hidden wizard via Slack. Positive reactions were coded when students “read out the message and started directly with the suggestion” (N = 32).
"One positive reaction was coded in the sub-category “use the hints directly” when the students read out the message and started directly with the suggestion ( N = 32 ), as in Example 2."

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Same WOZ II transcript analysis: the “neutral reactions to the wizard” category includes “reading but not discussing the message” (N = 11), which the authors explain by the students' lack of collaboration skills.
"The category of “neutral reactions to the wizard” encompasses, for instance, the subcategory “reading but not discussing the message” ( N = 11 )."

- In WOZ I, students reported the cognitive-model-based wizard feedback as helpful for understanding and solving robotics problems — related
- Confusion and frustration followed incorrect solution submissions and preceded hint requests, while coding was the central activity surrounding all affective states — related
