Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Both experimental groups working with the learning environment outperformed the control group on the near transfer task, with large contrast effects (d = 0.99 and d = 0.76). → Wagner et al. 2013

Kai Wagner, Martin Klein, Eric Klopp, Thomas Puhl & Robin Stark. (2013). Effects of Instruction-Supported Learning with Worked Examples in Quantitative Method Training. Higher Education Studies, 3(3). https://doi.org/10.5539/hes.v3n3p1

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Experimental field study with 70 educational science students randomly assigned to three groups; 1-factorial ANOVA with a priori contrasts on the near transfer task (theoretical maximum 12 points). The contrasts favouring both experimental groups over control were large (d = 0.99 and d = 0.76), described as "significant and large effect of the learning environment".

"we found a significant and large effect of the learning environment ( F(2,67) = 4.06, p = .022, ηp² =.89, power = .70). As expected, the a-priori contrasts showed that both the experiment al group with and without elaboration intervention outperformed the control group ( t(67) = 2.77, p = .007, d = 0.99 and t (67) = 2.22, p = .03, d = 0.76)"
