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.
q1 i? Studying worked-out external representations may lead to better learning outcomes than (co)-construction in CSCL. → Bruggen 2002
Evidence¶
Bruggen 2002¶
Bruggen, J.M.; Kirschner, P.A.; Jochems, W. (2002). External representation of argumentation in CSCL and the management of cognitive load. https://dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/16871
q1 · i? · theoretical · r2
A CLT-based theoretical argument raised as a research issue, not a tested comparison; the authors state that "studying of worked out external representations may lead to better learning outcomes than (co)-construction."
"from a CLT point of view studying of worked out external representations may lead to better learning outcomes than (co)-construction which is the standard mode of operation in CSCL."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- CSCL environments in which students share external representations share characteristics that induce considerable cognitive load — related
- Cognitive load theory may help identify mismatches between representational schemes and the execution of (sub)tasks in CSCL — related
- Constructive learning beats active and passive learning — reports the opposite
- Reducing extraneous load can also remove affordances for germane processes — related
