q3 i? Students in the collaborative learning setting obtained higher intuitive knowledge scores than individuals. → Kolloffel 2011 q3 i? Intuitive knowledge is enhanced by collaborative learning and not by constructing representations per se. → Kolloffel 2011

Evidence¶

Kolloffel 2011¶

Kolloffel, B., Eysink, T. H. S., & de Jong, T. (2011). Comparing the effects of representational tools in collaborative and individual inquiry learning. Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 6, 223–251. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-011-9110-3

q3 · i? · causal · r2

ANCOVA on intuitive conceptual knowledge (max 8, covariates math grade and time-on-task) showed a large setting effect, F(1,201)=70.46, p<.001, favoring dyads over individuals.

"The ANCOV A showed that students in the collaborative learning setting obtained higher scores with respect to intuitive knowledge (F (1,201)=70.46, p<.001)."
