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? Qualitative analysis showed both human coaches modeled and faded assistance, with the teacher more directive and the graduate student adapting scaffolding to each group. → Lajoie 2001
Evidence¶
Lajoie 2001¶
Lajoie, S. P., Lavigne, N. C., Guerrera, C., & Munsie, S. D. (2001). Constructing knowledge in the context of BioWorld. Instructional Science, 29(2), 155-186. http://www.jstor.org/stable/41953546
q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Qualitative analysis of audio/video-taped verbal dialogue from the two coached conditions: both coaches started directive, modeling what to look for, and later faded directives. The teacher constantly guided and served as a metacognitive aid; the graduate student varied directiveness by group.
"A qualitative analysis of the verbal data from the two coached conditions demonstrated that a cognitive apprenticeship approach (Collins, Brown & Newman, 1989) to instruction was used by both teacher and graduate student."
