q3 i? Providing snapshots of critical steps of the system had opposite effects by learning setting: marginally beneficial when studying individually, significantly detrimental when studying in dyads. → Rebetez 2010

Rebetez 2010¶

Rebetez, C., Betrancourt, M., Sangin, M., & Dillenbourg, P. (2010). Learning from animation enabled by collaboration. Instructional Science, 38(5), 471–485. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-009-9117-6

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Reported finding of the same three-factor experiment, which manipulated the presence of "snapshots of critical steps of the system". The article flags this result as contrary to its expectations; it prints no effect sizes or test statistics in the available text.

"Contrary to our expectations, the snapshots were marginally beneficial to learners studying individually and significantly detrimental to learners studying in dyads."
