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? Among code-modifying sessions, actions per session (7.88 vs 8.64) and time per session (322.62 vs 365.06 seconds) did not differ significantly (both p>0.1). → Gallego-Romero 2020

q2 · i? · associational · r2
t-test restricted to sessions where learners changed the base code (339 anonymous, 135 registered) in the same Codeboard log analysis. The article reports t=-0.92 for actions and t=-0.96 for time, both p>0.1; equivalence was not tested.
"Table 4 shows the number of actions per session in which the code was changed and the time per session for both anonymous and registered learners and in this case, there are no significant differences."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Registered learners modify the teacher-provided base code more than anonymous learners, both in share of sessions and in Levenshtein distance — related
- Registered learners perform more actions and spend more time per Codeboard working session than anonymous learners — related
- Registered learners have a higher ratio of compilation errors to total compilations, consistent with deeper code modification — related
- Registered learners in programming MOOCs using Codeboard show greater engagement than anonymous learners, compiling and executing code more times per access — related
