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 total of 7 students (32% of the sample) never visited the navigation map during the session. → Stanton 1997
q2 i? The mean task-test score was 57.7 out of 100, and the majority of students scored greater than or equal to 50. → Stanton 1997 (2)

Stanton 1997¶
Stanton, N., Correia, A. P. and Dias, P. (1997). Efficacy of a map on search, orientation and access behaviour in a hypermedia system. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Efficacy+of+a+map+on+search+orientation+and+access+behaviour+in+a+hypermedia+system
q2 · i? · associational · r1
Descriptive result from the map-use analysis (frequency of visits and time looking at the map) in the 22-student study: "a total of 7 students (32% of the sample) never visited the navigation map".
"It is important to report that a total of 7 students (32% of the sample) never visited the navigation map."

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Task-test outcomes in the same study: the mean score was 57.7 out of 100, and the article reports "the majority of the students had a score greater than or equal to 50". Students were described as sub-efficient and seemingly disorientated.
"Data obtained from the task-test outcomes showed a mean score of 57.7 (out of 100)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Greater use of the navigation map is associated with less relevant searching in a hypermedia learning task — related
- Groups differing in frequency of map visits differed on orientation and access ratios but not significantly on task-test scores — related
