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? No significant differences between Stringent and Idiosyncratic conditions were found for sociability or social presence, ruling out lack of social affordances as an explanation. → Pieter J. Beers 2007
Evidence¶
Pieter J. Beers 2007¶
Pieter J. Beers, Paul A. Kirschner, Henny P. A. Boshuizen, Wim H. Gijselaers. (2007). ICT-support for grounding in the classroom. Instructional Science 35, 535–556. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-007-9018-5
q2 · i? · causal · r2
Questionnaire measures of sociability (a = .86) and social presence (a = .86) from Kreijns' scales, compared between conditions (Table 4). The article reports only that "No significant differences were found with respect to social aspects of NTool"; equivalence was not tested and no effect sizes are printed.
"No significant differences were found with respect to social aspects of NTool (see Table 4)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Experimental conditions did not affect felt presence or perceived realism, which were high across all IVR configuration conditions
- Contrary to expectation, common ground after collaboration was highest in the low-coercion (Idiosyncratic) NTool groups, not the Stringent groups — related
- Cognitive load did not clearly increase during group work under high coercion; a three-way interaction of session time, cognitive load and coercion emerged, with a marginal main effect of coercion — related
- High-coercion (Stringent) NTool increases explicit negotiation activities in secondary vocational collaborative problem-solving, though the verification effect was stronger in morning sessions — related
- Psychological safety is positively associated with negotiation activities (verification, clarification, agreement) in ICT-supported collaborative problem-solving — related
- Human embodiment in video: perceived social presence benefits learning ratings, but instructor-face inclusion shows no significant learning-performance difference, and learners prefer human over robot presenters with mixed recall — related
- High levels of induced social presence during non-interactive teaching can impair learning relative to restudy (a double-edged sword) — related
- Social presence from social cues can improve task performance (social facilitation) but may impair performance on complex tasks (social inhibition) — related
