q3 i3 Learning scores improved massively from pretest to posttest after studying one video modeling example (no no-video control) (gp 2 = .807). → Vincent Hoogerheide 2016 q3 i3 Near transfer scores also improved significantly from pretest to posttest (gp 2 = .495). → Vincent Hoogerheide 2016 (2)

Evidence¶

Vincent Hoogerheide 2016¶

Vincent Hoogerheide, Sofie M. M. Loyens, Tamara van Gog. (2016). Learning from video modeling examples: does gender matter? Instructional Science, 44, 69-86. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-015-9360-y

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Mixed ANOVA (Test Moment within; Gender Model and Gender Observer between) on learning items in a 2x2 experiment with 163 secondary students remaining after exclusions, 162 of them in the test-performance analyses (one left during the posttest). Posttest learning (M = 5.56) far exceeded pretest (M = 0.30), with a large printed effect size "gp 2 = .807". The experiment manipulated model and observer gender; every condition studied a video, and there was no no-video or alternative-instruction control, so the gain shows improvement after the study phase rather than an effect of the video itself.

"The scores obtained on the test items that measured learning showed a significant main effect of Test Moment, F(1, 158) = 658.79, p \ .001, gp 2 = .807. Participants performed significantly better on the Posttest (M = 5.56, SD = 2.55) than on the Pretest (M = 0.30, SD = 0.64)."

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Same mixed ANOVA on the two near transfer items: posttest (M = 1.85) significantly higher than pretest (M = 0.28), with large printed effect size "gp 2 = .495". No gender main effects or interactions were significant. With no no-video control, the gain cannot be attributed to the video itself.

"With regard to near transfer, the main effect of Test Moment was significant, F(1, 158) = 154.96, p \ .001, gp 2 = .495. Per- formance was significantly higher on the Posttest ( M = 1.85, SD = 1.66) than on the Pretest (M = 0.28, SD = 0.54)."
