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 Ineffective CL teams showed significantly lower socially oriented engagement than effective teams (η² = 0.32), while differences in task-relevant and task-irrelevant engagement were not significant. → 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
Observational study of 8 selected CL teams (17 effective-team and 14 ineffective-team students) rated with an 18-item engagement rating list; univariate ANOVA on observed engagement. The article reports "only the difference with respect to socially oriented engagement was significant", with F(1, 20) = 9.44, p = 0.006 and effect size η² = 0.32.
"In ineffective teams task-relevant and socially oriented engagement tended to be lower and task-irrelevant engagement higher than in effective teams. Univariate analyses showed that only the difference with respect to socially oriented engagement was significant ( F(1, 20) ¼ 9.44, p ¼ 0.006, h2 ¼ 0.32)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Motivation — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- In ineffective CL teams, belongingness goals are negatively related to socially oriented task engagement, and no other goal domain relates significantly to 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
