q3 · i? · associational · r2

Quartile-level exploration of the homework-completion effect from the same mixed-model analysis (Table 2: homework completed P < 0.001); the abstract states that "completing the follow- up homework assignment modestly boosted exam question performance."

"Conversely, stu- dents across different quartiles experienced moderate but even benefits of submitting homework explanations (Fig. 2C; see also T able S3)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Timely feedback on homework increases learning, and computer platforms providing immediate feedback help teachers adapt — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Clicker participation and homework completion each significantly predict performance on isomorphic exam questions, with no synergistic interaction — related
• Homework explanations demonstrating understanding predict better isomorphic exam performance across all quartiles — related
• Any clicker participation outperforms absence on exam questions, but the lowest quartile sees no significant benefit — related
• Individualized homework outperforms non-individualized homework in achievement, attitudes, and conduct — related
• Classroom quizzing delivered by clickers, computer software, or paper improves student performance on classroom exams in middle school and college courses — a broader claim this one bears on
