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? With content-specific external representation, learners used more appropriate knowledge resources. → Frank Fischer 2005
q3 i? Content-specific external representation did not lead learners to share more knowledge after collaboration. → Frank Fischer 2005

q3 · i? · causal · r?
Experimental manipulation of external representation type (content-specific vs. content-independent) with 64 university students. The article reports learners "used more appropriate knowledge resources without sharing more knowledge after collaboration." No effect size is printed in the available text.
"With content-specific external representation, learners used more appropriate knowledge resources without sharing more knowledge after collaboration."
