Subclaims¶

q2 i? Considering individual test questions, tasks referencing linear masses were better solved by the experimental group and tasks referencing hollow masses by the control group; the authors suggest the design criteria of the virtual space play a role. → Thomas Keller 2019

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Item-level analysis of the random sample tests in the field experiment. The conclusion section reports the differential effectiveness between linear and hollow measures as a trend from the data analysis, attributed to virtual-space design criteria.

"The effectiveness of the VR learning unit differs between linear measures and hollow measures. Linear measures performed better than hollow measures. The assumption suggests that the design criteria of the virtual space play a role here."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Measurement — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

Related Claims¶

• Students in computer-based inquiry environments still held misconceptions about force and energy after instruction — related
• VR learning units do not per se lead to better learning success; quality and design of the unit are decisive — a broader claim this one bears on
