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 main effect of contingency on appreciation of support was significant (small effect size), with no interaction with occasion or independent working time. → van de Pol 2015
Evidence¶
van de Pol 2015¶
van de Pol, J., Volman, M., Oort, F., & Beishuizen, J. (2015). The effects of scaffolding in the classroom: support contingency and student independent working time in relation to student achievement, task effort and appreciation of support.

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Multilevel analysis of the appreciation-of-support questionnaire (Cronbach's a = .90) in the experimental classroom study; the article reports "only the main effect of contingency was significant (small effect size of R 2 = .04)" and higher contingency related to higher appreciation.
"For students’ appreciation of support, only the main effect of contingency was significant (small effect size of R 2 = .04; Cohen 1992). Regardless of the measurement occasion or the independent working time, higher levels of contingency were related to higher appreciation of support"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Low contingent support increased task effort when independent working time was short; with long independent working time task effort decreased under both contingencies but less so with high contingency — related
- On the knowledge assignment, neither the occasion-by-contingency interaction nor the three-way interaction with independent working time was significant — related
- When controlling for task effort, low contingent support improved multiple-choice achievement with short independent working time whereas high contingent support improved it with long independent working time — related
