Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 Experimental 2 students outperformed experimental 1 students on originality, fluency, and flexibility in the second individual phase. → Farrokhnia 2024
q3 i? No significant difference in persistence was found in the second individual phase. → Farrokhnia 2024
Evidence¶
Farrokhnia 2024¶
Farrokhnia, M., Noroozi, O., Baggen, Y., Biemans, H., & Weinberger, A. (2024). Improving hybrid brainstorming outcomes with computer-supported scaffolds: Prompts and cognitive group awareness. Computers & Education 227 (2025) 105229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2024.105229
q3 · i3 · causal · r2
Individual-level ANCOVAs on the second individual phase (n = 32 vs 33), controlling for group outcomes. Originality: F(1,60) = 10.86, ηp² = 0.15; fluency: F(1,60) = 11.17, ηp² = 0.16; flexibility: F(1,60) = 4.30, ηp² = 0.08; persistence not significant.
"The results revealed significant differences between experimental 1 and 2 conditions in the second individual phase for idea flexibility (p = .04), average originality (p = .002), and fluency (p = .001), but no significant difference for idea persistence (p = .25)"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Creativity — outcome: instruction changes it
- Executive Function — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Sharing individually generated ideas during the group phase (cognitive group awareness) increases the originality of collaboratively generated ideas — related
- Flexibility mediates the effect of cognitive group awareness on originality in the subsequent individual phase, acting as a complementary mediator — related
- SCAMPER prompts marginally increase persistence of individually generated ideas in hybrid brainstorming — related
