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? Open-ended pivotal-moment reports were more frequent after the Minecraft.edu video (m = 3.6) than after the real-classroom video (m = 2.0), with peer support and teamwork noticed mostly in the gaming video. → Gandolfi 2026
Evidence¶
Gandolfi 2026¶
Gandolfi, E., Soyturk, I., Kosko, K. W., Ferdig, R. E., & Clements, R. (2026). Measuring presence in virtual world teacher education: validation of the eXtended Reality Presence Scale. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-026-10619-w
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Coding of open-ended answers (n = 78, Cohen's kappa = 0.91) against four pre-defined pivotal moments; peer support (68 vs 7) and teamwork (73 vs 6) were noticed more in the Minecraft.edu video, while disengagement and teacher intervention were reported after both conditions.
"Regarding pivotal moments, participants noticed more of them after watching the Minecraft.edu video (m = 3.6, SD = 0.7) than after the real classroom one (m = 2.0, SD = 0.6)."
