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 i2 First-time question reading is longer in the post-reading condition, consistent with more time-consuming task-model formation when relevant information is no longer active in memory. → Alba Rubio 2022
Evidence¶
Alba Rubio 2022¶
Alba Rubio, Eduardo Vidal-Abarca, Marian Serrano-Mendizábal. (2022). How to assist the students while learning from text? Effects of inserting adjunct questions on text processing. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-022-09592-7
q3 · i2 · causal · r2
Robust t-test on time spent reading each question for the first time in the randomized experiment. The post-reading condition took longer, with robust effect size dR = 0.43 ("t(53.71) = 2.01, p = .049, dR = 0.43").
"Results showed statistically significant differences between post-reading condition (M = 86.59, SD = 29.40) and inserted condition (M = 74.38, SD = 24.67), t(53.71) = 2.01, p = .049, dR = 0.43"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Application reading instructions lead students to spend longer reading the text than general or memory instructions
- Answering inserted adjunct questions with the text available produces higher delayed transfer learning than answering post-reading questions
- Post-reading-question students search significantly more text segments than inserted-question students, indicating less efficient search
- Students in the inserted-question condition spend more time reading the text initially than students in the post-reading condition — related
- Question timing interacts with relevance of rereading: inserted-question students reread more relevant and less non-relevant information than post-reading students — related
