q3 i? Hypothesis H2 was not supported: combinations of virtual and video experiments did not have a stronger effect on conceptual understanding than learning with a virtual experiment only. → Flegr 2023

Evidence¶

Flegr 2023¶

Flegr, S., Kuhn, J., & Scheiter, K. (2023). How to foster STEM learning during Covid-19 remote schooling: Combining virtual and video experiments. Learning and Instruction, 86, 101778. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2023.101778

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Direct test of H2 in the randomized three-condition experiment (N = 154): an ANCOVA on post-test scores controlling for pre-test scores found "no effect of condition in the post-test when controlling for the students' pre-test scores". The mixed ANOVA interaction was likewise non-significant.

"The ANCOVA revealed no effect of condition in the post-test when controlling for the students' pre-test scores, F(2, 150) = 1.45; MSE = 483.43; p = .24; partial η2 = 0.02 (small effect)."

• Accuracy of experimentation shows no condition differences but a small condition effect and correlates strongly with conceptual understanding at post-test — related
• Presence versus absence of individual scaffolding types did not support the added-value hypothesis, but scaffolding combinations partly did — related
• Students' subjective appraisals of the remote inquiry lesson are comparable across conditions, and perceived cognitive demands correlate negatively with test scores — related
