q2 · i? · theoretical · r2
A review the author describes as a systematic review of secondary qualitative data; it reports Hendricks (2001) second-hand, an experimental study on causality in which the control group received abstract lecture instruction and the treatment group followed the Brown, Collins and Duguid situated model with modeling, coaching, scaffolding, and reflection. No effect size is printed.
"The results demonstrated that students in the treatment group outperformed the control group on a posttest administered at the end of the instruction."

Related Claims¶
- Chicago classrooms with high-quality authentic intellectual assignments showed greater one-year ITBS gains than classrooms with low-quality assignments — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- In one experiment with 256 undergraduates, computer-based lesson versions that included practice produced significantly higher posttest scores than versions without practice — related
- Structured CAI with spaced practice and spaced review produced better recall and retention than unstructured CAI — related
