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? Of 206 linkages, only 8 used Knowledge Forum referencing features; most links were to Web pages, suggesting low competence with the idea-linking features. → Jan van Aalst 2009
Evidence¶
Jan van Aalst 2009¶
Jan van Aalst. (2009). Distinguishing knowledge-sharing, knowledge-construction, and knowledge-creation discourses. Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-009-9069-5
q2 · i? · design · r2
Frequency analysis of the Linking code over all groups: 206 linkages, of which 106 were to Web pages, 66 verbal links to earlier notes, and only 8 uses of Knowledge Forum features such as referencing one note from another.
"This finding suggests that the level of competence with features of Knowledge Forum designed to support linking ideas was low, and may explain the lower than expected A TK index for linking"
