Subclaims¶

q3 i3 The LiquidText Guidance group perceived the tablet as less useful than the control group, with d = 1.22. → Jordan Lombard 2021 q3 i3 The LiquidText Guidance group reported lower intention to use a tablet than the control group, with d = 1.12. → Jordan Lombard 2021 (2)

Evidence¶

Jordan Lombard 2021¶

Jordan Lombard, Ivar Bråten, Cécile van de Leemput, Franck Amadieu. (2021). Performance and acceptance when using tablets as a multiple document learning tool: do application and guidance matter? Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-021-09537-6

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

One-way ANOVA on the perceived usefulness measure (five items, α = .91) showed a condition effect, F(3, 84) = 4.43, p = .006. The guided group scored lowest, also below "the control condition (M = 6.82, SD = 1.66, Cohen’s d = 1.22)". Item example: "Using a tablet is beneficial when comparing multiple documents".

"participants in the LiquidText Guidance condition (M = 4.72, SD = 1.78) perceived the tablet to be less useful than did participants in the LiquidText Non-Guidance condition (M = 6.01, SD = 1.84, Cohen’s d = 0.71)"

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

One-way ANOVA on intention to use (two items, α = .89) showed a condition effect, F(3, 83) = 4.21, p = .008. The guided group reported the lowest intention, and there were no significant differences among the three LiquidText conditions.

"participants in the LiquidText Guidance condition (M = 3.86, SD = 2.92) scored lower than the control group (M = 6.75, SD = 2.25, Cohen’s d = 1.12)"
