Abstract
This evaluation of the intervention shows promise. At post-test, the children who had received the intervention, by comparison to the control group who had not, showed significant gains in their scores on the Test of Pragmatic Skills (p = .009, effect size r = â.42), a significant improvement in their performance on the computer game (p = .03, r = â.32) and significantly greater use of high-quality questioning during collaboration (p < .001, r = â.60). Furthermore, the children who received the intervention made significantly more positive statements about the game and about their partners (p = .02, r = â.34) suggesting that the intervention increased their confidence and enjoyment.
