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 i? HP students' scores for SE prompts were significantly higher overall (U = 11, p = .008) and for conceptual SE prompts (U = 13, p = .014), but not for the procedural SE prompts (U = 19, p = .063). → Fabic 2019

q3 · i? · causal · r2
SE prompt answers were marked like multiple-choice test questions. HP students scored 73.83% (sd = 10.05) overall vs. LP students' 56.68% (sd = 14.36). Conceptual SE scores were 76.04% (HP) vs. 59.28% (LP); procedural SE scores showed no significant difference (p = .063).
"The HP students' scores for SE prompts were significantly higher overall, and for conceptual SE prompts, but not for the procedural SE prompts (Table 10)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Low prior knowledge students learned more from PyKinetic's Parsons problems than high prior knowledge students, especially in the experimental group with SE prompts — related
- Inhibition relates to procedural skill in secondary-school children but to conceptual understanding in adults — related
- Prior conceptual and procedural knowledge did not significantly predict tutors' proportion of knowledge-building responses — related
