Subclaims¶

q2 i? Video analysis of tutorial groups identified four distinct patterns of student physical behavior, and independent coders with little training achieved 90% agreement classifying 5-second segments into one of four clusters. → Rachel E. Scherr and David Hammer 2007

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Observational video analysis of student tutorial groups in an introductory physics course. The authors report that the four co-occurring behavior clusters are distinct and that "independent coders achieve 90% agreement in classifying 5-second video segments into one of four clusters."

"These clusters of co-occurring behaviors stand out clearly; having had them described, and with very little training, independent coders achieve 90% agreement in classifying 5-second video segments into one of four clusters."
