Subclaims¶

q3 i? Differences in dispositional self-concept across hand-raising conditions were not statistically significant, including the extreme contrast (β = −0.01, p = 0.894). → Lisa Hasenbein 2024

Evidence¶

Lisa Hasenbein 2024¶

Lisa Hasenbein, Ulrich Trautwein, Jens-Uwe Hahn, Stephan Soller, Richard Göllner. (2024). An experimental test of the Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effect using an immersive virtual reality classroom. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-023-09646-4

q3 · i? · causal · r3

In the randomized IVR experiment, regression of dispositional computational-thinking self-concept on the hand-raising conditions found no significant differences for any contrast; the article prints only test statistics (80% vs. 20%: β = −0.01, p = 0.894; 35%: p = 0.078; 65%: p = 0.739), so equivalence was not tested.

"the hand-raising conditions were not associated with significant differences in dispositional self-concept (β = −0.01, SE = 0.07, p = 0.894 for 80% vs. 20% hand-raising classmates)"

Learner Variables¶

• Academic Self-Concept — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• A high proportion of high-performing classmates lowers sixth-graders' situational academic self-concept, an experimental BFLPE at the extreme contrast — related
• Students who perceived the class performance level as higher reported lower situational self-concept in the IVR classroom — related
• Higher proportions of hand-raising virtual classmates raise sixth-graders' perceived class performance level and register more hand-raisers in an IVR lesson — related
• Experimental conditions did not affect felt presence or perceived realism, which were high across all IVR configuration conditions — related
• Students' perceived class performance level fully mediates the effect of classmates' hand-raising behavior on situational self-concept — related
• Sixth-graders' mathematics self-concept and individual interest both decline over one school year — related
• Reading comprehension, self-concept and interest were collected prior to learning only to ensure comparability of conditions — related
