Subclaims¶

q3 i2 Correct submission frequency differed significantly across the four performance quartiles with a medium effect size (η² = 0.07), and the high-performing group had significantly more correct submissions than the mid-high, mid-low, and low groups. → Hou 2025

Kruskal-Wallis analysis of trace event frequencies across the four quartiles of 482 biology students found correct submissions differed across groups, η² = 0.07, a "medium effect size (Richardson, 2011)". Post-hoc tests showed the high group significantly exceeded the other three groups.

"A Kruskal-Wallis test (Table 5) showed a statistically significant difference among the groups in the frequency of their correct submissions, c2(3) = 38.89, p <.001, h2 = 0.07, with a medium effect size (Richardson, 2011)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Frequency of incorrect quiz submissions differs across performance quartiles, with low performers submitting incorrect answers most often
• Process mining shows low performers access solutions more and transition to hints after incorrect submissions more than high performers
• Low-performing students access solutions more often than higher-performing students, while hint access does not differ across quartiles
• Exam scores correlate positively with correct submissions and negatively with incorrect submissions and solution access — related
