Analyses of learning gains demonstrated that students who were prompted to engage in systematic self-explanation scored significantly higher than those in the unprompted condition, especially on higher-order assessment questions.
In contrast, the ten percent of visitors who exhibited the most positive change in their ER explanation scores (change group) were those whose ER explanation pre-test scores were significantly lower than average (F = 12.2, p < 0.001).
Moreover, the proportion of students who used the concept of most recent common ancestry (explanation score of one) to justify a correct evolutionary relatedness response for both questions increased from 0.00 before instruction to only 0.17 after instruction.
Whatever the explanation, scores of these dimensions should be interpreted with caution in this Arabic version.
Exposure: Did the authors show that there was no evidence of a concurrent intervention which could have influenced the results (no explanation scores zero)?
Consistent with the explanation, scores on the CiOP-SCS were now associated with rumination intrusion (r = 0.18, p<0.05) but not with sleep disturbance (r = 0.02), with CiON-SCS scores were partialled out to avoid any confounding effects.
These were: Randomisation: Was there sufficient description of a randomisation process or statistical test to show that comparability between the two groups has been adjusted for (no explanation scores scored zero)?
An integral part of supervised machine learning in this case is a large corpus of explanations previously scored by domain experts.
For explanation of scoring see material and methods and Table 2.
But the explanation for scoring high quality of life than the other domains could be that people tend to be spiritual and religious when confronted with issues that are beyond them; they engage in spiritual and religious reflections, treasuring the gifts in their lives, accepting and surrendering to the approach of their death, and facing the part they may have played in their own demise [ 29].
In sum, 2200 written explanations were independently scored for the presence or absence of evolutionary concepts by both EvoGrader and by humans.
