Subclaims¶

q2 i? Experimental group students reported encountering problems particularly in B and A layers, mostly about organizing information and not knowing where to find material-related information. → Koc Akran 2019 q2 i? Students most often solved these problems through the collecting-information step of problem solving. → Koc Akran 2019 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive and content analysis of interviews with 10 voluntarily chosen experimental students, plus student and researcher diaries. Problems clustered around "organizing information" and not knowing where to find material-related information.

"Experimental group students encountered problems particularly in B and A layers during the period they performed Layered Curriculum activities."

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Qualitative descriptive analysis of the 10 interviews: 9 students solved problems via collecting information (research from different sources f=7; help from acquaintances f=4) and 6 via identifying the problem.

"descriptional analysis of interviews with 10 students shows that, 9 students tried to solve encountered problems through “collecting information” [research from different sources (f=7) and getting help from acquaintances (f=4)]"
