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? There was a trend in the data suggesting that correctly matching the goal orientation of the child to the goal orientation provided by the system improved learning gains. → Rosemary Luckin & Benedict du Boulay 2016

q2 · i? · review · r2
Empirical evaluation study with learners aged between 9 and 11 years using moEcolab (mastery goal orientation) and poEcolab (performance goal orientation) versions providing self-referenced or norm-referenced assessment respectively.
"An empirical evaluation study with learners aged between 9 and 11 years found evidence that performance goal oriented feedback provided by the system affected the way children interacted and learned from the system, in particular there was a trend in the data that suggested that correctly matching the goal orientation of the child to the goal orientation provided by the system improved learning gains."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
