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? Chang et al. (2011) found simultaneous presentation of lecture notes, a worked example, and instructor explanations facilitated understanding of a programming language on pre- and post-tests; Cheng et al. (2015) found students receiving temporally contiguous instruction reported lower perceived cognitive load. → Marjorie Ceballos 2022

q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative review attribution covering two studies: Chang et al. (2011) on split-attention in learning a computer programming language using pre- and post-tests, and Cheng et al. (2015) using a cognitive load pre- and post-test. Perceptual and test-based outcomes; no effect sizes printed.

"Cheng et al. (2015) found that students who received instruction attending to temporal contiguity reported a lower perception of cognitive load."
