Philip Pavlik Jr. University of Memphis
Step by Step In Vivo Experimentation Lecture 3 for the IV track of the 2012 PSLC Summer School Philip Pavlik Jr. University of Memphis
2
So, you want to run an in vivo experiment?
What is in vitro? Self-explanation (Chi, Bassok, Lewis, Reimann, & Glaser, 1989) What is in vivo? Example take from: Booth, Siegler, Koedinger & Rittle-Johnson (2008)
3
Step 0 Become an expert in a content area (e.g., electrodynamics).
Find a textbook Talk to an expert (Potentially the most time consuming step.)
4
Step 1 Hypothesis Self-explanation: A self-generated explanation of presented instruction that integrates the presented information with background knowledge and fills in tacit inferences. (from pslc wiki) Correct examples Facilitate construction of high-feature validity knowledge components. Incorrect examples Weaken low-feature validity knowledge components.
5
Step 2 Select a domain Select a LearnLab site Talk with instructors
Algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, Chinese, English Select a LearnLab site Riverview High School Central Westmoreland Career & Technology Center Talk with instructors Collaboratively identify “hot spots” in curriculum.
6
Step 3 Develop materials Stimuli Tutor implementation Assessments
7
Corrective self-explanation
explanation of incorrect worked example
8
Typical self-explanation
explanation of correct worked example
9
Self-Explanation of Correct Examples
Step 4 Design Study Self-Explanation of Correct Examples No Yes “As-is” Control Typical Corrective Typical + Corrective (half of each) Self-Explanation of Incorrect Examples
10
Step 5 Formulate a Procedure – the steps with which the design is executed Pretest Two forms of the assessment Intervention Solve problems with Cognitive Tutor Algebra Post-test Take alternate form of assessment Get IRB approval
11
Step 6 Run experiment Send Log Data to DataShop Collect log files
Collect paper-based assessments Send Log Data to DataShop Test Hypotheses
12
Step 7 Report your results to the scientific community
Create a wiki page Give a conference talk Write a journal paper
13
Number of correctly answered problems
14
Number of conceptual errors
15
Goto Step 1 Using the results from your in vivo experiment:
Replicate with a new population Replicate with a new domain Replicate and Extend in a lab experiment
16
Summary Step: Goto Step 1 0. Become an expert
Generate a hypothesis (in vitro => in vivo) Select domain, site, instructors Develop materials Design study Formulate a Procedure Run experiment & log to DataShop Report your results Goto Step 1
