Subclaims¶

q3 i? Differences among play-, scene-, and scriptlet-level script subgroups on domain-specific knowledge were not statistically significant. → Freydis Vogel & Christof Wecker & Ingo Kollar & Frank Fischer 2016 q3 i? Differences among the three script level subgroups on collaboration skills were not statistically significant. → Freydis Vogel & Christof Wecker & Ingo Kollar & Frank Fischer 2016 (2)

Evidence¶

Freydis Vogel & Christof Wecker & Ingo Kollar & Frank Fischer 2016¶

Freydis Vogel & Christof Wecker & Ingo Kollar & Frank Fischer. (2016). Socio-Cognitive Scaffolding with Computer-Supported Collaboration Scripts: a Meta-Analysis. Educ Psychol Rev (2017) 29:477–511. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-016-9361-7

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

Moderator analysis across play-level (d = −0.06), scene-level (d = 0.28), and scriptlet-level (d = 0.19) subgroups per Table 1; no significant differences, with low post hoc power (15.7%).

"The differences among the effects of the three script level subgroups on domain-specific knowledge were not statistically significant, Q(df = 2) = 1.27, p = .53. Post hoc power analysis showed that the statistical power of this test was 15.7 %."

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r?

Moderator analysis for collaboration skills across script levels (play d = 0.62, scene d = 0.63, scriptlet d = 1.47 per Table 2); not statistically significant, post hoc power 11.3%.

"Regarding the effects on collaboration skills, the differences among the three script level subgroups were again not statistically significant, Q(df = 2) = .78, p = .09."
