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 i2 Effects on teamwork were significantly larger for new teams (d = 0.67) than intact teams (d = 0.33; Q = 4.04, p = 0.004). → McEwan D. 2017
q3 i3 Effects on team performance were significantly larger for intact teams (d = 0.99) than new teams (d = 0.54; Q = 6.04, p = 0.02). → McEwan D. 2017

McEwan D. 2017¶
McEwan D., Ruissen G.R., Eys M.A., Zumbo B.D., Beauchamp M.R. (2017). The Effectiveness of Teamwork Training on Teamwork Behaviors and Team Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Interventions. PLoS ONE. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0169604

Moderator analysis (Table 4) of the team performance pool comparing intact versus new teams: intact d = 0.99, new d = 0.54, Q = 6.04, p = 0.02. For the teamwork pool the reverse held: new teams d = 0.67 versus intact d = 0.33, Q = 4.04, p = 0.004.
"Teamwork training was also effective at fostering team performance for both team types; however, in contrast to the findings on teamwork, the effect size for intact teams (d = 0.99) was significantly larger (Q = 6.04, p = 0.02) than that for new teams (d = 0.54)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Collaboration — outcome: instruction changes it
