q3 i? Contrary to Hypothesis 2b, the heuristic and algorithmic training conditions did not differ in transfer task-selection accuracy. → Raaijmakers 2018

Evidence¶

Raaijmakers 2018¶

Raaijmakers, S. F., Baars, M., Schaap, L., Paas, F., van Merriënboer, J., & van Gog, T. (2018). Training self-regulated learning skills with video modeling examples: Do task-selection skills transfer? Instructional Science, 46, 273–290. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-017-9434-0

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Mann–Whitney U test comparing the heuristic (n = 37) and algorithmic (n = 42) conditions on transfer test accuracy found no significant difference (r = .06); equivalence was not tested.

"However, in contrast to Hypothesis 2b, the heuristic and algorithmic training conditions did not differ from each other, U = 724.0, p = .602, r = .06."
