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? An investigation of problem solving support showed students performed better in the final programming tasks, completed without help from the cognitive diagnosis, compared to ELM-PE. → Gerhard Weber & Peter Brusilovsky 2016
q2 i? Students with lower levels of previous programming knowledge profited from learning with ELM-ART. → Gerhard Weber & Peter Brusilovsky 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r?
Investigation of ELM-ART's problem solving support comparing performance in final programming tasks, attempted without cognitive diagnosis help, against ELM-PE. The article reports students "performed better in the final programming tasks" and highlights lower prior-knowledge students as profiting; no statistics or effect sizes are printed.
"An investigation of the problem solving support showed that students performed better in the final programming tasks (without help from the cognitive diagnosis) compared to ELM-PE. Especially, students with lower levels of previous programming knowledge profited from learning with ELM-ART."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Being Web-based contributed to ELM-ART's educational effectiveness: it surpassed its locally available predecessor ELM-PE despite a smaller episodic learner model — related
- ELM-ART served more than 20,000 users over more than 15 years, with more than 1000 completing the whole course — related
- Learning the first steps of programming recursive LISP functions was easier and faster with ELM-PE's cognitive diagnosis and feedback than with the same environment without that help — related
