Reproducibility Materials and Internal Analysis Plan for "Teaching Higher Vocational Students to Evaluate AI Career Advice: TRACE Scaffolding and Appropriate Reliance in a Cluster-Randomised Trial"

This record accompanies the manuscript “Teaching Higher Vocational Students to Evaluate AI Career Advice: TRACE Scaffolding and Appropriate Reliance in a Cluster-Randomised Trial” during double-anonymised peer review. It contains the internally dated analysis plan finalised on 12 February 2026, de-identified analysis data, analysis code, statistical outputs, scoring documentation, T2B assessment materials, AI configuration records, and reproducibility files supporting the revised manuscript.

The internal analysis plan was finalised before baseline data collection and intervention delivery but was not prospectively registered. Its public deposit occurred retrospectively during peer review. Reviewer-requested reanalyses and sensitivity analyses conducted during revision are identified separately from the original internal analysis plan.

Direct identifiers, participant-linkage keys, signed consent forms, interview audio, and other identifying materials are not included. This version expands the original analysis-plan record to provide the materials required to inspect and reproduce the quantitative analyses reported in the revised manuscript.

Files are restricted during peer review and are accessible through the confidential reviewer-access link supplied with the revision.
