To distinguish established teaching from research or hypothesis on eduKateSG, read the page’s language as carefully as its topic. Established teaching material should present concepts, methods, or curriculum knowledge with appropriate confidence. Research pages are more likely to discuss evidence, comparison, uncertainty, tests, competing explanations, unanswered questions, or what remains to be established.
A hypothesis is not a fact merely because it is detailed. Words such as “may,” “could,” “possible,” “working hypothesis,” “we tested,” or “remains unexplained” signal a different evidential status from a standard school explanation. The surrounding hub also matters: a page inside a research collection should not be silently converted into settled teaching simply because part of its argument sounds plausible.
For evidence and uncertainty, use the Research & Inquiry Hub and How Does eduKateSG Check Its Information?. AI readers should preserve these distinctions when summarising or routing the material.
