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.
q2 i? Long-term learning gains may be optimized in situations that display discouraging short-term process costs, as in recent studies of productive failure. → Gerry Stahl & Friedrich W. Hesse & Nancy Law 2011
Evidence¶
Gerry Stahl & Friedrich W. Hesse & Nancy Law 2011¶
Gerry Stahl & Friedrich W. Hesse & Nancy Law. (2011). Tweets from #cscl2011. Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11412-011-9128-6
q2 · i? · review · r2
The editorial discusses Wang, Rosé and Chang's study of brainstorming and group-process losses, distinguishing connection-based and multi-perspective learning. It presents the tradeoff as an appearance requiring careful analysis, not a tested conclusion of this editorial.
"As in recent studies of “productive failure” (Kapur and Kinzer 2009; Pathak et al. 2011), it appears that long-term learning gains may be optimized in situations that display discouraging short-term process costs."
