Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Time task correlated positively with final marks (r = .447), a large effect. → Cerezo 2016 q2 i2 Days "hand in" correlated negatively with final marks (r = -.352), a moderate-high effect. → Cerezo 2016 q2 i1 Word forums correlated positively with final marks (r = .195), an almost medium effect. → Cerezo 2016

q2 · i3 · associational · r1

Correlational analysis of Moodle log variables against final marks in a sample of 140 undergraduates; the article reports "time task (r = .447, p <.001 d = 1)" and "days “hand in ” (r = -.352, p< .001 d = 0.75)" and "word forum (r = .195, p <.01 d = 0.41)".

"the three variables significantly related with Final Marks are time task (r = .447, p <.001 d = 1), with a large effect size; followed by days “hand in ” (r = -.352, p< .001 d = 0.75), with a moderate -high effect size; and word forum (r = .195, p <.01 d = 0.41), with an almost medium effect size."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Time and Continuity — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Greater procrastination (more days to hand in tasks) was associated with lower final marks. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• AI-tutored students spend less time on task than the 60-minute in-class lesson, with no correlation between time and scores — related
• In-class chat engagement significantly predicts higher test scores in MAIC courses — related
