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.
q3 i? The multimedia group scored significantly better on the first knowledge exam, but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups on the second exam. → Lauc 2020

q3 · i? · causal · r2
In the same field quasi-experiment, the experimental group (N=97) scored higher on Exam 1 (M = 37.33 vs 34.60, t = 2.902, p = .001), but on Exam 2 the groups did not differ significantly (t = 1.195, p = .232); "there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group of students on the second exam".
"Also, there was no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group of students on the second exam (Table 2)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Multimedia introductory activities are rated as more interesting and instructive than fun, while traditional activities are rated similarly on all three features — related
- Multimedia motivational introductory messages produce better immediate knowledge-test outcomes than traditional teaching aids in elementary Nature and Society lessons — related
- The multimedia learning module advantage over the textbook persists on a retention test administered two weeks after the lessons — reports the opposite
- MLM-script presentations fall between the other two groups: above the Textbook group but below the MLM group, as multimedia learning theory predicts — related
- Positive motivational assessments of introductory activities correlate weakly with learning outcomes on near-in-time tests but not with distant exam results — related
