Subclaims¶

q2 i? In an elementary school study of dyads constructing photosynthesis diagrams, awareness prompts did not have the expected positive effect on drawing quality, although they stimulated discourse about more of the concepts. → Gerry Stahl 2013

Gerry Stahl, Nancy Law & Friedrich Hesse. (2013). Reigniting CSCL flash themes. Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning 8:369–374. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-013-9185-0

q2 · i? · causal · r?

The editorial summarizes the study by Gijers, Weinberger and colleagues, in which dyads in scripted, awareness, or control conditions built individual and shared diagrams; drawing quality was operationalized as the quantity of lesson concepts appearing in the drawing.

"Even using this reified measure, the awareness prompts did not have the expected positive effect on the drawing quality. Interestingly, it did stimulate discourse about more of the concepts, but this did not translate into the anticipated effect on the shared drawings."
