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 meta-analytic effect of CSCL scripts on collaboration skills is statistically significantly larger than their effect on domain-specific knowledge. → Freydis Vogel 2016
Evidence¶
Freydis Vogel 2016¶
Freydis Vogel, Christof Wecker, Ingo Kollar, Frank Fischer. (2016). Socio-Cognitive Scaffolding with Computer-Supported Collaboration Scripts: a Meta-Analysis. Educ Psychol Rev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-016-9361-7
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?
Between-outcome comparison within the meta-analysis testing the difference between the pooled collaboration-skills effect and the pooled domain-specific-knowledge effect; the printed test is zDiff = 3.24, p < .01, two-tailed, with no effect size for the difference itself.
"The effect of learning with CSCL scripts on collaboration skills was significantly greater than the effect of learning with CSCL scripts on domain-specific knowledge ( zDiff =3 . 2 4 ;p < .01, two-tailed)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- CSCL collaboration scripts substantially improve domain-specific and collaborative-skill outcomes compared with unstructured CSCL — a broader claim this one bears on
- CSCL scripts have a small significant positive effect on domain learning compared to unstructured collaborative learning — related
- Whether a CSCL script prompts transactive activities does not significantly moderate its effects on domain-specific knowledge, and for collaboration skills the difference runs opposite to the expected direction — related
- Learning with CSCL scripts yields a large positive effect on collaboration skills compared to unstructured CSCL — related
- The script level a CSCL script mainly targets does not significantly moderate its effects on domain-specific knowledge or collaboration skills — related
- Subject discipline significantly moderates CSCL script effects on collaboration skills, while study duration and measurement level do not significantly moderate effects — related
- The degree of additional content-related support does not significantly moderate CSCL script effects on either outcome — related
- Measuring outcomes at the individual versus group level did not significantly moderate CSCL script effects — related
- The editorial reports that CSCL scripts show positive effects on domain learning and collaboration process skills, and that scaffolding single versus combinations of collaborative activities affects script impact — a broader claim this one bears on
- CSCL scripts have a medium significant positive effect on collaboration skills compared to unstructured collaborative learning — related
