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? Learning from video with navigation features was not more successful than learning without them, with Bayes factors supporting the null hypothesis for retention and comprehension. → Beege 2025

Beege, M., & Ploetzner, R. (2025). Learning from interactive video: the influence of self-explanations, navigation, and cognitive load. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-024-09693-5
q3 · i? · causal · r2
In the 2×2 experiment with 128 university students learning about thunderstorms with time capped at 12 minutes, the MANOVA showed "no significant main effect for navigation features"; Bayes factors BF10 = 0.19 supported the null for both outcomes. Equivalence was not established beyond these Bayes factors.
"A MANOV A with retention and comprehension scores as depended variables revealed no significant main effect for navigation features ( Wilk' s Λ = 1.00, F(2, 123) = 0.04, p = .962). Bayes factors indicated support for the null-hypothesis regarding retention ( BF10 = 0.19)"
