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? Cognitive involvement scores did not differ significantly between the learner control and no control groups. → Huib K. Tabbers 2010

Evidence

Huib K. Tabbers 2010

Huib K. Tabbers, Bastiaan de Koeijer. (2010). Learner control in animated multimedia instructions. Instructional Science, 38, 441–453. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-009-9119-4

q3 · i? · causal · r2

A 15-item semantic differential scale (Cronbach's alpha .88) administered after the lesson showed no group difference in cognitive involvement; the article reports "did not differ significantly", t(50) = 1.13, p = .26, d = 0.32.

"Finally, the overall cognitive involvement score was quite high: 5.2 (SD = 0.7) on a scale from 1 to 7, but the two groups did not differ significantly (t(50) = 1.13, p = .26, d = 0.32)."
