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 i1 The gender × time × condition interaction on utility value was supported, χ²(4, N = 23,329) = 2.93, p = .020. → Rudmann 2023 q3 i1 At Time 3 the standardized gender gap was β = -.15 in the Jigsaw condition versus β = -.35 (Business-as-usual) and β = -.20 (Resource independence), a 50% and 25% reduction. → Rudmann 2023 (2)

Rudmann 2023¶

Rudmann, O., Batruch, A., Visintin, E. P., Sommet, N., Bressoux, P., Darnon, C., ... Butera, F. (2023). Cooperative Learning Reduces the Gender Gap in Perceived Social Competences.

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Model 3 tested the three-way interaction on utility value of social competences; the increase in gender differences was more pronounced in the two control conditions than in the Jigsaw condition.

"our third and focal experimental hypothesis, which focused on the three-way interaction between the conditions, gender, and time, was also supported, c2 (4, N = 23,329) = 2.93, p = .020 (see Model 3)."

Rudmann 2023 (2)¶

q3 · i1 · causal · r2

Comparison of standardized gender differences at Time 3 on utility value; the Jigsaw gap (β = -.15) was 50% smaller than Business-as-usual (β = -.35) and, per the article, 25% smaller than Resource independence (β = -.20).

"The gender gap at Time 3 was reduced by 50% in the Jigsaw classroom condition (β = -.15, SE = .05, p = .002) when compared to the Business-as-usual condition (β = -.35, SE = .05, p < .001)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Gender — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group
Social Awareness and Relationship Skills — outcome: instruction changes it
