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.
q2 i? Although summary dyads produced nearly twice as many utterances, off-analysis utterances dominated in the summary condition (69.3%) versus the concept mapping condition (34.3%), a significant difference. → Lucero 2024

Lucero 2024¶
Lucero, M., Montanero, M., & van Boxtel, C. (2024). Semiempty collaborative concept mapping in history education: students' engagement in historical reasoning and coconstruction. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-024-09659-7
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Utterance counts from all 10 dyads across two tasks; the discussion attributes most summary-condition utterances to "dictating sentences from one of the summaries, which the partner merely repeated and copied". No effect size printed.
"In total, we coded 1,788 utterances (taking the transcripts of the 10 dyads for the two tasks together). In the summary writing condition, students produced more utterances (1,141; 63.8%) than in the semiempty concept mapping condition (647; 36.2%)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Students collaborating on a semiempty concept map engage more in causal explanation and argumentation, while summary-writing dyads engage more in contextualization — related
- Concept-mapping dyads produce significantly more re-elaborations (corrections and precisions) of partners' ideas, an indicator of collaborative historical reasoning — related
- Semiempty concept mapping dyads use substantive historical and metahistorical concepts more often than summary-writing dyads — related
- Interaction during semiempty concept mapping shows higher transactivity: less elicitation and more externalization and integration than summary writing — related
- Teacher-guided whole-class discussions show more contextualization, explanatory questions, and abstract concepts than student dyad discussions — related
