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? There was a significant country by test time interaction, with the U.S. site (M=0.634) higher in prior knowledge than Costa Rica (M=0.331) and the Philippines (M=0.181). → Amy Ogan 2015

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Tukey post-hoc comparisons following a one-way ANOVA on pre-test scores across the three sites; the article prints means and SDs and reports "significant country by test time interaction" without an effect size.
"the U.S. site (M=0.634, SD= 0.391) had higher prior knowledge than both other groups ( p<0.001), while the Costa Rica site (M=0.331, SD=0.297) had higher prior knowledge than the Philippines site (M=0.181, SD=0.271)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Students at all three international sites showed significant pre-test to post-test learning gains with the Scatterplot Tutor — related
- Help-seeking skill models built from ITS practice data were not transferable across Costa Rican, Philippine, and US contexts (reported by Ogan et al., 2014) — related
- Each site's help-seeking model predicted learning in its own data, with widely differing fit (Costa Rica r=0.462, U.S. r=0.350, Philippines r=0.126) — related
- Collaborative classroom practice in Costa Rica may explain why help-seeking models fail to transfer there — related
- Help-seeking models transfer above chance across sites but perform poorly on the Costa Rican data — related
- Carelessness detectors trained on Philippine students generalize to USA students without re-fitting — related
