q3 · i? · review · r2

Quasi-experimental within-subjects study (six teachers in face-to-face university classes of 12 to 51 students) comparing No dashboard, Mirroring dashboard, and Guiding dashboard conditions; the article reports the data support that the dashboards "lead to more awareness amongst the teachers, and to more and more targeted interventions". No effect size is printed.

"While the data support the general expectation that the mirroring and guiding dashboard lead to more awareness amongst the teachers, and to more and more targeted interventions,"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The alerting & guiding dashboard did not increase teacher coregulation more than the mirroring dashboard (H3 not supported); mirroring increased intervention rates (non-significant) while guiding-condition interventions were rare and mostly coregulation strategies — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Mirroring dashboards improved teacher situational awareness while alerting-and-guiding dashboards reduced teacher workload and frustration — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Guiding support stimulated targeted interactions: teachers posted more messages to groups (14 vs 4) and performed more dashboard interventions than under mirroring — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• A mirroring dashboard shifts teacher attention toward epistemic over social aspects of learning, while a guiding dashboard divides interventions more equally — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Mirroring-condition teachers consulted the dashboard more often than guiding-condition teachers (137 vs 95 consultations) but missed aspects needing reaction — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Guiding dashboard support enabled teachers to perform more orchestration actions, more targeted interactions, and more class announcements than mirroring support — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Reported cognitive load was lowest in the mirroring condition (5.4), compared with no dashboard (5.6) and guiding (6.2) — related
• Without dashboard support, teachers could not make announcements about time, phase transitions, or participation and relied on perception and surveying to diagnose collaboration — related
• The alerting & guiding dashboard reduced teachers' overall workload more than the mirroring dashboard in authentic settings (H2 supported) — related
