A great deal of prior research has asserted that SVPs improve student engagement and learning.
“Although a great deal of prior research has asserted that SVPs improve student engagement and learning (Anderson, 2018; Beattie & Rich, 2018; Scarparolo & Mackinnon, 2022; Toshalis & Nakkula, 2012; Voight & Velez, 2018; Zeldin et al., 2018)”
From How teachers’ student voice practices affect student engagement and achievement: exploring choice, receptivity, and responsiveness to student voice as moderators (2025) · cites this paper as Anderson, 2018
The Elements of Participation section (page not provided) says improved engagement is often cited as a potential outcome of increased student participation. The Convergent Validity section also reports positive associations between participation and engagement. The cited passages do not establish that participation improves learning, so that part of the claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
