q3 i2 Children in the four clusters differed significantly in prompts provided per scenario-protocol (Wilks'Λ = .057, partial η² = .061). → Bosma et al. 2017 q3 i? The four clusters were categorized as General prompts, Measuring prompts, Accuracy prompts and Organizing prompts, with 27, 13, 10 and 9 children respectively. → Bosma et al. 2017

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Two-step cluster analysis (Ward's linkage then k-means) on standardized prompts per scenario-protocol for 59 trained children, followed by a MANOVA confirming profile differences with printed effect size partial η² = .061. "Hence, we categorized the clusters as (1) General prompts, (2) Measuring prompts, (3) Accuracy prompts and (4) Organizing prompts."

"The results revealed, as expected (3), that children in the four clusters significantly differed in prompts provided per scenario-protocol: Wilks'Λ = .057, F(18, 141) = 13.76, p < .001, partial η² =. 061."
