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? Triads in the experimental condition, in which each participant displayed a concept map representing their own knowledge to collaborators, proved more efficient in collaborative problem solving than triads without such access. → Gerry Stahl 2010

The editorial describes the Engelmann and Hesse experiment investigating how information about what group participants each know can be introduced into shared group understanding through CSCL technology, using concept maps displayed by each participant in the experimental condition. It reports that "Triads with access to each other's concept maps proved to be more efficient in their collaborative problem solving."
"Triads with access to each other's concept maps proved to be more efficient in their collaborative problem solving."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Concept mapping improves learning over most comparison conditions by a moderate average amount, but not over time-matched retrieval practice — a broader claim this one bears on
- Constructive learning beats active and passive learning — a broader claim this one bears on
- Graphic organizers such as concept maps improve comprehension and retention with a medium average effect; that novices benefit more rests on a few small subgroups — a broader claim this one bears on
- Self-constructed collaborative concept maps trigger more deep exploratory talk and less non-dialogic talk than completing or sorting maps, which yield mostly superficial exploratory talk — related
- An ICAP theory article reports, second-hand and without describing the design, a study in which concept mapping with a peer enhanced learning more than concept mapping alone — related
