Subclaims¶

q3 i? Among the exploratory moderators, only subject discipline was a significant moderator of CSCL script effects on collaboration skills. → Freydis Vogel & Christof Wecker & Ingo Kollar & Frank Fischer 2016 q3 i? Study duration showed no statistically significant dependency with effect sizes for either outcome. → Freydis Vogel & Christof Wecker & Ingo Kollar & Frank Fischer 2016 (2)

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

Exploratory moderator analyses of educational background, subject discipline, country, and time-space modes; only subject discipline significantly moderated effects on collaboration skills.

"The results showed that only the subject discipline was a significant moderator for the effectiveness of CSCL scripts on collaboration skills. Other characteristics did not turn out to be statistically significant moderators"

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

Meta-regression of effect sizes on the natural logarithm of study duration; the negative tendency for domain-specific knowledge was not significant (p = .21), and collaboration skills showed no significant dependency either (p = .85).

"For domain-specific knowledge, longer studies tended to have slightly lower effect sizes, b = −0.14; SE = 0.11; CI90% = [−0.31; 0.04]; β = −0.20. However, this tendency was not statistically significant, p = .21, two-tailed."
