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 On average, groups allocated a much larger share of initial-phase time to getting to know each other than to task-related communication, d = −1.98. → Natalia Reich-Stiebert 2023

q3 · i3 · associational · r3
Paired comparison of group-level time-percentage reports collected after two weeks of collaboration; means show 50.45% on getting to know each other versus 9.07% on task-related communication, with a "significantly" larger allocation to getting to know each other, d = −1.98.
"Groups spent significantly more time getting to know each other than on task-related communication, M get = 50.45 (SDget = 17.37), Mtask = 9.07 (SDtask = 7.35), t(1524) = −77.39, p < .001, d = −1.98, indicating that, overall, during the first phase of their collaboration, students focused more on getting to know each other than on task-related communication."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- First-language heterogeneity in CSCL groups lowered online interaction self-efficacy gains, moderated by early task-related communication time — related
- Initial-phase task-related communication moderates the negative relationship between first-language heterogeneity and self-efficacy gains, while getting-to-know-each-other time does not — related
- First-language heterogeneity is negatively related to time spent getting to know each other and positively related to time spent on task-related communication — related
- Time spent getting to know each other paradoxically amplifies perceived group heterogeneity in first-language heterogeneous CSCL groups — related
