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? A low proportion of variance in self-study topic scores could be predicted from student-generated learning issues, so other factors influence what students study. → Dolmans 1994
Evidence¶
Dolmans 1994¶
Dolmans, D., Schmidt, H. & Gijselaers, W. (1994). The relationship between student-generated learning issues and self-study in problem-based learning. Instructional Science: An International Journal of Learning and Cognition, 22(4), 251–267. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00891779
q2 · i? · associational · r1
Correlational comparison at the University of Limburg between the percentage of faculty objectives identified per problem and Topic Checklist scores of actual self-study. The article reports "a low proportion of variance of TOC scores could be predicted" from the learning-issue measures.
"Comparisons between the procedures revealed that a low proportion of variance of TOC scores could be predicted from the percentage of faculty objectives identified for each problem and the direct match between learning issues and TOC scores."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Multiple factors besides learning issues may shape PBL students' self-study decisions — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Deliberate practice research is largely correlational with large unexplained variability in accumulated practice hours — a broader claim this one bears on
