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? LE studies link materials/tools and technology more strongly than HE studies (50% vs. 42% use both). → Valentina Nachtigall 2022

Valentina Nachtigall, David Williamson Shaffer, Nikol Rummel. (2022). Stirring a Secret Sauce: A Literature Review on the Conditions and Effects of Authentic Learning. Educational Psychology Review (2022) 34:1479–1516. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-022-09676-3
q2 · i? · review · r3
ENA difference graph for cognitive effects (Fig. 7): the review reports LE studies make slightly more connections between materials/tools and technology than HE studies, with the printed percentages.
"Specifically, while 50% of the LE studies (i.e., eight out of 16 studies) use both materials and technology in order to design for authenticity, only 42% of the HE studies do so (i.e., 11 out of 26 studies)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Combining authentic assessment with collaborative learning activities characterizes high-effectiveness cognitive studies and is absent from low-effectiveness studies — related
- Most reviewed studies pursued real-life-experience authenticity, and no study combined all four intentions of authenticity — related
