Subclaims¶

q3 i1 In ordinary classrooms robotics teaching yields a significant effect (SMD = 0.485, P < 0.001), while in laboratory environments the effect is larger (SMD = 0.578, P < 0.001). → Hou 2022

Evidence¶

Hou 2022¶

Hou, H., Zhang, X., & Wang, D. (2022). Can educational robots improve student creativity: A meta-analysis based on 48 experimental and quasi-experimental studies. Best Evidence in Chinese Education, 11(1):1449-1454. https://doi.org/10.15354/bece.22.ab001

q3 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r2

Teaching-location moderator analysis within the meta-analysis. The classroom effect was "SMD = 0.485, P < 0.001"; the authors say this highlights "the relevance of strengthening laboratory environment construction".

"In the laboratory environment, the creation of learning situations and interaction with educational robots significantly improve the effect of robotics education on student creativity (SMD = 0.578, P < 0.001)"
