However, focused Dutch secondary Hence, it is questionable what extent results regarding learning be generalized other contexts subjects. Therefore, this conceptually replicated et al.-study education (problem-solving physics, French) university (scientific reporting statistical information). Students’ performance after intervention were measured. showed that method did not impact any samples. Some differences between conditions found quantity content but these findings original limited extent. Explanations implications role conceptual replications are discussed.
