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? The information evening increased parents' skills and literacy, and 53% of attending parents afterwards gave their children information about SNS risks. → Vanderhoven 2015
q2 i? Only 15% of invited parents attended, so information evenings may not involve all parents. → Vanderhoven 2015 (2)
Evidence¶
Vanderhoven 2015¶
Vanderhoven, E., Schellens, T., Vanderlinde, R., & Valcke, M. (2015). Developing educational materials about risks on social network sites: A design-based research approach. Ghent University. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-015-9415-4
q2 · i? · design · r3
Study 3 combined the course with a parents' evening (146 pupils, average age 12.92; 50 parents). Quantitative impact was hard to interpret because only 19 children of attending parents completed both pretest and posttest.
"53% of the parents who attended the information evening gave their children some information about the risks on SNSs and how to behave more safely after the information session"

q2 · i? · design · r3
The authors note the self-selection problem: attending parents were already involved, and characteristics of non-attending parents could not be measured.
"since only 15% of the invited parents attended the information evening, simply organizing information evenings may not be the best way to involve all parents"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Home Learning Environment — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Active parental involvement via a joint homework task improved boys' safe behavior on SNSs, with a gender interaction — related
- The initially developed SNS safety course increased awareness of contact risks but did not change attitudes or behavior — related
- Adding individual reflection to the SNS safety course produced changes in attitudes and behavior that the collaborative version did not — related
