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.
q2 i? Knowledge about the main difficulties learners have when learning from visual displays is an important basis for selecting appropriate support procedures. → Renkl 2017
Evidence¶
Renkl 2017¶

q2 · i? · review · r?
The review's first stated goal: it identifies "the main difficulties that learners have when learning from visual displays" and argues this knowledge underpins the selection of support procedures. This is the review's synthesis, not a single tested effect.
"First, we identify the main difficulties that learners have when learning from visual displays. Knowledge about these difficulties is an important basis for selecting appropriate support procedures."

- Material-oriented interventions such as complexity reduction, cueing/signaling, and text-picture integration are empirically tested support procedures for visual displays — related
- Learner-oriented interventions such as training of learning prerequisites, pre-training, and prompting are empirically tested support procedures for visual displays — related
- Higher education students struggle to identify appropriate data representations for AI model training — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
