Subclaims¶

q3 i? Game mode elicited statistically significant differences in question types, with more basic information questions and fewer off-topic, incomplete or nonsense questions than the basic version. → Peter Reimann 2021 q3 i? Children and teens or the whole group were more often mentioned as question generators in the game version, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. → Peter Reimann 2021 (2)

Evidence¶

Peter Reimann 2021¶

Peter Reimann. (2021). Socio-technical configurations for productive talk. Intern. J. Comput.-Support. Collab. Learn (2021) 16:301–306. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-021-09354-6

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Large-scale authentic-setting comparison of basic and gamified question-generating mobile apps involving more than 5600 visitors to two museums in 614 natural groups randomly assigned to the basic and 925 groups to the gamified version, with post-visit questionnaires on question generation. No effect size is printed.

"Significant differences in types of questions were found, with game mode eliciting more basic information questions and fewer off-topic, incomplete or nonsense questions than the basic version."

q3 · i? · review · r2

Null result from the same two-museum randomized comparison: question-generator attribution favored children and teens or whole groups in the game version but the difference did not reach statistical significance; equivalence was not tested.

"With the game version, children and teens or the whole group were more often mentioned as the question generators than was the case for the basic version, but this difference did not reach statistical significance."
