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? Model-tracing tutors demonstrated superior ability to provide targeted, high-quality remediation compared with constraint-based tutors, with the advantage growing as goal-structure complexity increases. → Viswanathan Kodaganallur 2005

q2 · i? · design · r2
Findings from the authors' side-by-side construction and evaluation of a model-tracing and a constraint-based tutor for statistical hypothesis testing: model tracing "demonstrates superiority with respect to the ability to provide targeted, high-quality remediation".
"model tracing demonstrates superiority with respect to the ability to provide targeted, high-quality remediation; this superiority increases with the complexity of the solution process goal structure."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The extra development effort of model tracing stems from additional design requirements that are responsible for its improved remediation — related
- Pointing during multimedia learning leads to superior comprehension and increased attentional focus compared with tracing or no hand movements — related
- Two characteristics of the problem domain are key in distinguishing which tutoring paradigm is appropriate for a given domain — a broader claim this one bears on
