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.

q3 i? Within superficial processing, observational learners read and filtered significantly more than hypermedia learners, while hypermedia learners checked significantly more solution steps than self-explanation-based learners. → Tessa H. S. Eysink & Ton de Jong 2012

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Bonferroni-corrected Mann-Whitney pairwise comparisons on the two superficial subcategories from the think-aloud experiment, showing distinct superficial-processing profiles across the instructional approaches.

"learners in the observational learning environment read and filtered signifi- cantly more than learners in the hypermedia learning environment ( Z = –2.88, p < .008). Furthermore, learners in the hypermedia learning environment checked significantly more solution steps than those in the self-explanation-based learning environment (Z = –2.81, p < .008)."
