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? In math, the ANCOVA showed no effect of cognitive style (F=1.79, p=0.17) and no GROUP by cognitive style interaction, suggesting the benefit of cooperative learning was equivalent for field dependent, intermediate, and field independent students. → Mery Luz Vega; Christian Hederich M 2015
Evidence¶

Mery Luz Vega; Christian Hederich M. (2015). The Impact of a Cooperative Learning Program on the Academic Achievement in Mathematics and Language in Fourth Grade Students and its Relation to Cognitive Style. New Approaches in Educational Research 4(2), 84-90. https://doi.org/10.7821/naer.2015.7.124
q2 · i? · causal · r1
In the math ANCOVA (Table 1), the COGNITIVE STYLE factor was non-significant (F=1.794, p=0.175) and the GROUP*CS interaction non-significant (F=0.215, p=0.807). Because style differences present at pretest disappeared at post-test, the authors conclude the benefit was "equivalent for all three style groups".
"With regards to cognitive style, the tests did not show any effect of this factor (F=1,79, p=0,17) nor of its interaction with the treatment either."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Learning-Style Preferences — moderator: an effect differed by reported style in this study; matching to style is not supported overall
Related Claims¶
- In language, a significant methodology-by-cognitive-style interaction emerged, apparently favoring field independent students — related
- The cooperative learning program showed no significant effect on language achievement in fourth-grade students — related
- A cooperative learning program produced significantly higher mathematics achievement than traditional teaching in fourth-grade students — related
- Before intervention, mathematics performance differed by cognitive style, with field independent students scoring highest and field dependent students lowest — related
