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? The serial mediation through awareness of knowledge gaps and curiosity showed no indirect effect of condition on conceptual knowledge, and the individual paths were not significant. → Charleen Brand 2023
Evidence¶
Charleen Brand 2023¶
Charleen Brand, Christian Hartmann, Katharina Loibl, Nikol Rummel. (2023). Do students learn more from failing alone or in groups? Insights into the effects of collaborative versus individual problem solving in productive failure. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-023-09619-7
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Mediation analysis (N = 135) of self-reported gap awareness and curiosity collected after the problem-solving phase. The serial indirect effect a3d43b4 = −0.00 had a confidence interval spanning zero; conditions did not differ on either self-report.
"no indirect effect of the condition on conceptual knowledge as mediated through awareness of knowledge gaps and curiosity could be found, which was indicated by the bootstrap confidence interval, a3d43b4 = − 0.00, SE = 0.01, 95% CI [− 0.02, 0.02]."
