Comparison of grades for the No Template condition and Template condition in Study 1. Box plots showing the range of grades (converted into numerical form—where 0 is the lowest grade and 10 is the highest) and means for both conditions in Study 1, and a Pie chart showing how individual students grades changed with the Template. The figure shows that on average the mean and range are both higher for the Template condition, suggesting that the Template condition improved the quality of the experiment record compared to the No Template condition. The majority of students received an improved grade in the Template condition
