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 combined condition had higher learning gains than the individual and collaborative-only conditions, with the difference restricted to 4th grade students. → Olsen 2019
Evidence¶
Olsen 2019¶
Olsen, J. K., Rummel, N., & Aleven, V. (2019). It is not either or: An initial investigation into combining collaborative and individual learning using an ITS. International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 14, 353-381. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-019-09307-0
q3 · i? · causal · r?
In the same three-condition ITS comparison, "the combined condition had higher learning gains than the other conditions"; the article states the difference "was restricted to the 4th grade students." No effect size is printed, so no magnitude is reported.
"students across all three conditions had significant learning gains, but the combined condition had higher learning gains than the other conditions. However, this difference was restricted to the 4th grade students."
