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? No significant differences between groups were found on SWLE, assignments completed, or domain knowledge posttest scores. → Saab 2007

Saab 2007¶
Saab, N., van Joolingen, W. R. & van Hout-Wolters, B. H. A. M. (2007). Supporting Communication in a Collaborative Discovery Learning Environment: the Effect of Instruction. Instructional Science 35:73–98. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-006-9003-4
q3 · i? · causal · r2
One-way ANOVA on SWLE (experimental M = 27.59, SD = 10.28; control M = 29.33, SD = 14.60; F = 0.142, p = 0.709) and ANCOVA on domain knowledge tests with pretests as covariate found no significant differences; equivalence was not tested. Test reliability was reported as considerably low.
"Using a covariance analysis with the pretests as a covariate, no significant differences were found between groups."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- RIDE instruction increases some transformative discovery activities and overall regulative discovery activity, with effects limited to specific activities — related
- Communicative activities associated with the RIDE rules, especially Intelligent collaboration, correlate with discovery learning activities in both groups — related
- RIDE communication instruction and RIDE plus CHT both increase team regulation relative to no support — related
- Support conditions did not differ from control in learning scores within the environment — related
- RIDE instruction leads to more frequent use of the communicative activities associated with the Deciding together and Encouraging rules — related
- Instruction combining communication rules (RIDE) and a hypothesis tool (CHT) increases team regulation in computer-supported collaborative inquiry, and team regulation relates to learning outcomes only in that combined condition — related
