q2 i2 Among SI-PASS participants, the number of meetings attended correlated positively with exam performance (r = .28). → Puttaert 2025

Evidence¶

Puttaert 2025¶

Puttaert, N., Dachet, D., Baye, A., Quertemont, E., Leduc, L., Nyssen, A.-S., & Verpoorten, D. (2025). Effects of SI-PASS on a high-risk course – A randomized controlled trial. Learning and Instruction, 95, 102042. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2024.102042

q2 · i2 · associational · r1

Correlational analysis within the experimental group relating number of SI-PASS meetings attended to final exam grades. The regression "exhibits a positive correlation (r(90) = .28, p = .007)", a printed effect size of r = .28, shown in Fig. 1 as a trend where higher engagement tends toward better performance.

"The linear regression calculated on participation in SI-PASS meetings exhibits a positive correlation (r(90) = .28, p = .007) between students' attendance at SI-PASS meetings and their exam performance (Fig. 1)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• SI-PASS participants did not engage more with online exercises than controls in the RCT, but attendance correlated with online exercise engagement — related
• Students needed to attend at least five SI-PASS meetings before their exam performance significantly improved — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• In a randomized controlled trial, SI-PASS participation did not significantly improve final exam performance compared to a waiting-list control group — related
• A quasi-experimental comparison of SI-PASS participants with non-volunteering enrolled students shows significantly higher exam performance, contrasting with the null RCT result — related
