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? Utterances in the semiempty concept mapping condition contained significantly more substantive historical concepts and metahistorical concepts than utterances in the summary writing condition. → Lucero 2024
Evidence¶
Lucero 2024¶
Lucero, M., Montanero, M., & van Boxtel, C. (2024). Semiempty collaborative concept mapping in history education: students' engagement in historical reasoning and coconstruction. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-024-09659-7
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Chi-square comparison of coded concept use in the same 10-dyad discourse corpus; metaconcepts were 45% of coded concept use in concept mapping versus 30.8% in summary writing. The article prints no effect size for this difference.
"In addition, we found significant differences for the use of substantive concepts and metahistorical concepts (χ2 = 10.97, p < .01). In the semiempty concept mapping condition, students actively used substantive historical concepts and more metahistorical concepts more often."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Summary-writing dyads produce more utterances overall, but most reflect mechanical dictation and copying rather than historical reasoning — related
- Students collaborating on a semiempty concept map engage more in causal explanation and argumentation, while summary-writing dyads engage more in contextualization — related
- Interaction during semiempty concept mapping shows higher transactivity: less elicitation and more externalization and integration than summary writing — related
- Concept-mapping dyads produce significantly more re-elaborations (corrections and precisions) of partners' ideas, an indicator of collaborative historical reasoning — related
- Teacher-guided whole-class discussions show more contextualization, explanatory questions, and abstract concepts than student dyad discussions — related
