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.
q3 i? Perceived authenticity was positively associated with situational interest, replicating prior OSL findings, but showed no association with knowledge-test performance. → Valentina Nachtigall 2021
Evidence¶
Valentina Nachtigall 2021¶
Valentina Nachtigall, Nikol Rummel. (2021). Investigating students' perceived authenticity of learning activities in an out-of-school lab for social sciences: a replication study. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-021-09556-3
q3 · i? · causal · r?
Reported association in the 152-student quasi-experimental OSL study. The article states "students' perceived authenticity correlated with their situational interest but not with their knowledge acquisition"; the printed article text available here does not include the correlation coefficients, so no effect size is reported.
"Furthermore, students' perceived authenticity correlated with their situational interest but not with their knowledge acquisition."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Prior OSL research shows highly inconsistent cognitive and motivational effects of authentic setting features, and few studies measured perceived authenticity — a broader claim this one bears on
- In an out-of-school lab for social sciences, the authenticity level of the learning activity (Productive Failure vs. Direct Instruction) did not affect students' perceived authenticity or situational interest — related
- Students' individual interest in social sciences correlated with their situational interest during the OSL visit (catch r = .27; hold r = .26) — related
- The review describes effects of authentically designed settings on motivational outcomes and learners' perceived authenticity alongside cognitive outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
