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 i? Adding expertise as a predictor showed a significant effect on knowledge integration (b = 0.16) and explained 5% additional variance, while the competencies continued to show positive relationships. → Olga Vogel 2024
Evidence¶
Olga Vogel 2024¶
Olga Vogel, Marcel Hunecke. (2024). Fostering knowledge integration through individual competencies: the impacts of perspective taking, reflexivity, analogical reasoning and tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-023-09653-5
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Regression Model 2 in the same survey dataset added a single-item self-rated expertise measure. The article prints "b = 0.16, SE = 0.03, t = 5.92, p < 0.001" and ΔR2 = .05. The competencies' coefficients remained similar, supporting relevance across expertise levels; no standardized effect size is printed.
"Expertise was included as an additional predictor in Model 1 (Table 4, Model 2) and exhibited a significant effect on knowledge integration (b = 0.16, SE = 0.03, t = 5.92, p < 0.001, CI [0.10, 0.21]). Expertise explained only 5% of the additional variance in knowledge integration in addition to competencies."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Prior Knowledge — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Social Awareness and Relationship Skills — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Analogical reasoning and perspective taking are the strongest predictors of knowledge integration, followed by tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty and reflexivity — related
- Reflexivity, perspective taking, analogical reasoning, and tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty each positively relate to knowledge integration in inter- and transdisciplinary work — a broader claim this one bears on
- Experts do not exhibit higher levels of reflexivity than novices, consistent with reflexivity as a meta-cognitive competence — reports the opposite
