Subclaims¶

q2 i? ANOVA showed mean problem-solving ability differed significantly by training method (p = 0.000). → Robabeh Puran 2017 q2 i? Tukey's test showed the active method resulted in better performance than the traditional and heuristic methods, which performed similarly. → Robabeh Puran 2017 (2)

Evidence¶

Robabeh Puran 2017¶

Robabeh Puran, Mohamad Hasan Behzadi, Ahmad Shahvarani, Farhad Hosseinzadeh Lotfi. (2017). The Effects of Training and Other Factors on Problem Solving in Students. European Journal of Contemporary Education, 6(3): 448-460. https://doi.org/10.13187/ejced.2017.3.448

q2 · i? · causal · r1

ANOVA (Hypothesis 4) on 81 students from three second-grade classes assigned to traditional, active, or heuristic training in combinational mathematics; between-groups p = 0.000, so mean problem-solving ability differed by training type.

"The results of table 7 show that the p-value (0.000) was less than 0.05; therefore, the mean problem-solving ability of students receiving various types of training were different."

Robabeh Puran 2017 (2)¶

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Tukey's post-hoc test (Table 8, Fig. 1): active group mean 13.8 (n = 34), traditional 11.9 (n = 23), heuristic 9.5 (n = 24); active differed from the other two, which were in the same Tukey group (p = 0.699).

"Based on results of table 8 and the p-value, there was a clear difference between the acti ve, traditional and heuristic teaching methods. The active method resulted in better performance than the other two methods, which had similar performances."
