Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 The 360° VR video group reported significantly higher interest/enjoyment than both the TV group and the poster group (Partial η2=.23). → Araiza-Alba 2020
Evidence¶
Araiza-Alba 2020¶
Araiza-Alba, P., Keane, T., Matthews, B., Simpson, K., Strugnell, G., Chen, W. S., & Kaufman, J. (2020). The potential of 360-degree Virtual Reality videos to teach water-safety skills to children. https://www.lsv.com.au/vr
q3 · i3 · causal · r2
One-way ANOVA on the IMI interest/enjoyment subscale across the three randomly assigned conditions found a significant difference ("Partial η2=.23"), with post hoc tests showing the 360° VR group exceeded both TV (p <.001) and poster (p <.001) groups.
"a one-way analysis of variance test indicated that there was a significant difference in the average level of enjoyment across different conditions (F(2, 167) = 18.602, p <.001, Partial η2=.23)."
