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? Students in the collaborative learning setting obtained significantly higher post-test overall scores compared to individual learners. → Kolloffel 2011

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Between-subjects experiment with 61 dyads and 95 individuals in a simulation-based inquiry environment; ANCOVA with math grade and time-on-task as covariates showed "significantly higher post-test overall scores" for the collaborative setting, F(1,201)=17.33, p<.001.
"It was found that students in the collaborative learning setting obtained significantly higher post-test overall scores ( F (1,201)=17.33, p<.001) compared to individual learners."
