Subclaims¶

q3 i? Evidence for the expected social-skills-to-CDA relations appears only for evidence elicitation, and inconsistently across studies. → Laura Brandl 2024

q3 · i? · associational · r2

SEM analysis of the three simulation studies showed support only for the elicitation path; the article reports paths from social skills to evidence sharing and hypotheses sharing below 0.1 in two studies, so "we do not consider Hypothesis 3b" and 3c "to be supported by the data".

"For the path from social skills to evidence elicitation, we found positive coefficients > 0.1 in two out of three studies, of which one was also statistically significant. Thus, we consider Hypothesis 3a to be supported."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Social Awareness and Relationship Skills — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Most reviewed SEL studies did not test diversity characteristics as moderators, and those that did found inconsistent moderation effects — related
• Collaboration knowledge is positively and consistently related to the quality of evidence sharing across all three studies — related
• Content knowledge is positively related to the quality of evidence elicitation and evidence sharing, but not to hypotheses sharing — related
• Effects of pre-instruction testing on untested but studied materials are highly inconsistent across experiments and materials — related
