Subclaims¶

q3 i? Contrast analyses revealed no group differences in scientific reasoning posttest scores, so H1a and H1b were not supported. → Omarchevska 2022

Omarchevska 2022¶

Omarchevska, Y., Lachner, A., Richter, J., & Scheiter, K. (2022). Do Video Modeling and Metacognitive Prompts Improve Self-Regulated Scientific Inquiry? Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-021-09652-3

q3 · i? · causal · r3

Contrast analysis of the 12-item scientific reasoning posttest with pretest as covariate: "no group differences in the posttest scores" (Contrast 1 β = 0.04, p = 0.57, d = 0.22). The article flags that posttest time on task was significantly shorter, suggesting participants clicked through quickly.

"A contrast analysis with scientific reasoning ability (pretest) as a covariate revealed no group differences in the posttest scores (Contrast 1, β = 0.04, p = 0.57, d = 0.22;"
