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.
q3 i? The V1*V2 interaction and clicker vote main effects were not significant predictors of homework explanations, though the interaction approached significance (P = 0.055) and correct-correct students showed a tendency toward better explanations. → Dana L. Kirkwood-Watts 2022

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Generalized linear mixed model analysis of coded homework explanations (binary coding scheme, n = 9,408 total coding events) predicting explanation quality from clicker vote patterns; the article reports "an equivalence across the various clicker pat- terns (T able 3)" with the interaction approaching significance at P = 0.055 and no post hoc testing conducted.
"We did not observe significance for the V1*V2 interaction or the clicker vote main effects in the best-fit model"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Peer Discussion Improves Conceptual Understanding — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Being present for a clicker question predicts a higher likelihood of providing a homework explanation demonstrating understanding, except in the lowest quartile — related
- Students answering both clicker votes correctly score significantly higher on isomorphic exam questions than all other vote patterns — related
- Homework explanations demonstrating understanding predict better isomorphic exam performance across all quartiles — related
