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 i1 Frequency of postings (Total and Reply counts) correlated r = .17 (p < .05) with grade, though other quantity measures (words, sentences, paragraphs) did not. → Jaebong Yoo & Jihie Kim 2014

Evidence

Jaebong Yoo & Jihie Kim. (2014). Can Online Discussion Participation Predict Group Project Performance? Investigating the Roles of Linguistic Features and Participation Patterns. Int J Artif Intell Educ. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-013-0010-8

q2 · i1 · associational · r1

Correlation analysis (Table 7, N = 173): Total messages r = .17 and Replies r = .17, while words (−.09), sentences (−.10), and paragraphs (−.08) were not significant. The article notes controversy on whether such measures are effective.

"Surprisingly, the simple statistical information such as frequency of postings (Total and Reply) was related to the learner 's performance."
