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 i3 Among ineffective-team members, GIFI belongingness goals correlated negatively with socially oriented engagement (r = -0.75, p = 0.033); no other goal domain was significantly related to any engagement type. → Hijzen 2007
Evidence¶
Hijzen 2007¶
Hijzen, D., Boekaerts, M., & Vedder, P. H. (2007). Exploring the links between students' engagement in cooperative learning, their goal preferences and appraisals of instructional conditions in the classroom.

q2 · i3 · associational · r1
Pearson correlations between GIFI goal domains and the three observed engagement types, computed separately for effective and ineffective teams. The article reports the negative correlation r = -0.75 (p = 0.033), which "only concerned the ineffective teams" and whose direction was not as predicted.
"preferences for belongingness goals were negatively related to their socially oriented behavior ( r ¼/C0 0.75, p ¼ 0.033), implying that ineffective team members who report that belongingness goals are salient in their current life demonstrate less socially oriented task behavior"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Effective and ineffective cooperative learning teams differ significantly only in socially oriented engagement, with ineffective teams showing lower socially oriented engagement — related
- Goal profiles differ between effective and ineffective CL teams: mastery and social responsibility goals prevail in effective teams, entertainment, certificate and work avoidance goals in ineffective teams — related
- Students explain effective and ineffective cooperative learning mainly by instructional conditions: type of task, teacher, and group composition are the most frequently mentioned factors — related
