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 i2 A one-way MANOVA on the five MSLQ subscales showed a significant multivariate difference based on students' textbook format choice, with eta squared = .08. → Amanda J. Rockinson-Szapkiw 2013

Amanda J. Rockinson-Szapkiw, Jillian Wendt, and Rebecca Lunde. (2013). Electronic Versus Print Textbooks: The Influence of Textbook Format on University Students' Self-Regulated Learning Strategies, Motivation, and Text Anxiety. American Journal of Distance Education, 27(3), 179-188. https://doi.org/10.1080/08923647.2013.796230
q2 · i2 · associational · r1
Omnibus one-way MANOVA comparing the two self-selected format groups on five correlated MSLQ dependent variables, with alpha set at .025 and Pillai's trace used due to homogeneity violations. The printed effect size was eta squared = .08 for Pillai's trace = .08, F(4, 532) = 8.6.
"Results of the MANOVA demonstrated that there was a significant difference in university students’ MSLQ scores based on their choice of textbook format, Pillai’s trace = .08, F(4, 532) = 8.6, p > .001, eta squared = .08."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- University students who choose e-textbooks report greater use of cognitive strategies than students who choose print textbooks — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- University students who choose e-textbooks report greater self-regulation of learning than students who choose print textbooks — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Cluster membership showed a strong multivariate effect on standard text-similarity metrics (Pillai's trace = 0.85, F(12, 248) = 15.31, p < 0.001) — related
