Evidence¶

Borchers 2025¶

Borchers, C., Fleischer, H., Schanze, S., Scheiter, K., & Aleven, V. (2025). High scaffolding of an unfamiliar strategy improves conceptual learning but reduces enjoyment compared to low scaffolding and strategy freedom. Computers & Education, 236, 105364. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2025.105364

q3 · i? · causal · r2

A mixed-effects model on self-efficacy ratings found a significant increase of about 9 percentage points from pre to post, "on average, about 9 % points (β = 8.79, p < .001)", with no significant main effect of tutoring system type.

"a significant positive effect of time indicated that students’ self-efficacy increased by, on average, about 9 % points (β = 8.79, p < .001) after working with the tutoring systems"
