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? In the 2x8 mixed ANOVA on Kahoot performance, the group-by-time interaction and between-group effect were non-significant, while time affected scores for all students. → Daniell DiFrancesca 2025

q3 · i? · associational · r1
A 2 (Competitiveness Group) X 8 (Time) mixed ANOVA of Kahoot scores for HC (n = 29) and LC (n = 25) students showed the interaction and group effects were "non-significant" while a within-group time effect emerged (η2 = 0.09).
"Both the interaction effect, F(5.52, 287.18) = 0.16, p =.98, and between group effect, F(1, 52) = 2.80, p =.10, were non-significant. The within-group analyses showed a significant effect of time, F(5.52, 287.18) = 5.33, p <.001, η2 = 0.09."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Absolute monitoring accuracy showed a mixed, inconsistent group-by-time interaction rather than a stable competitiveness difference — related
- Students across competitive-preference levels reported enjoying the Kahoot activities consistently throughout the semester, with no detectable wear-out effect — related
- Metacognitive monitoring bias during competitive Kahoots did not differ by competitive preference, though bias shifted across time — related
- The relationship between Kahoot performance and quiz scores differed by competitiveness only on the first quiz, and was not replicated later in the semester — related
- Most motivational and self-regulation measures did not differ by competitive preference, though overall interest in educational psychology declined over the semester — related
- Monitoring accuracy score does not moderate the effort–monitoring correlation — related
