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? PF students did not report higher perceived authenticity or situational interest than DI students at the end of the OSL visit, contrary to hypotheses H1 and H2. → 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 · r2
Quasi-experimental study of 152 10th graders (PF n=80, DI n=72, whole classes assigned) in an out-of-school lab; a MANCOVA with individual interest as covariate found no significant condition effects on perceived authenticity or situational interest (catch or hold). The authors state the study was "against our H1 and H2, but in line with the findings of our first study".
"Thus, against our H1 and H2, but in line with the findings of our first study, the authenticity level of the learning activity did not affect students' perceived authenticity nor their situational interest."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Students who collaborated (in collaborative and combined conditions) reported higher situational interest in the fractions activity — related
- Students' perceived authenticity of the learning activity correlated with their situational interest but not with their knowledge acquisition — related
- PF students did not outperform DI students when learning social science research methods in two quasi-experimental studies with 10th graders, failing to replicate the STEM-domain PF effect — related
- Students' individual interest in social sciences correlated with their situational interest during the OSL visit (catch r = .27; hold r = .26) — related
