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 Experimental-group students improved on the SLA-D (t(33) = 5.51, p < .05, d = 3.62) whereas comparison-group students did not improve significantly (t(32) = 1.25, p > .05). → Gülüzar Eymur · Pınar Seda Çetin 2024

q3 · i3 · causal · r2
Paired-samples t-tests on pre- and post-SLA-D scores reported in the Results. The article states "the overall gain for experimental group was large" (Table 4: means 7.61 to 11.4 for experimental; 7.57 to 8.60 for comparison).
"the comparison group students, t(32) = 1.25, p > .05 did not develop a better understanding in understanding of the role of science, scientific thinking and doing, science and society, science media literacy, and mathematics in science, the experimental group students did at the end of the study, t(33) = 5.51, p < .05, d = 3.62"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Eighth graders experiencing ADI instruction scored significantly higher on the post-test of demonstrated scientific literacy (SLA-D) than students experiencing structured inquiry
- ADI students' item-level gains concentrated on items about determining variables for a research question and on scientific inquiry questions
- Interviewed ADI students reported engaging in scientific practices such as identifying variables, finding patterns in data, and developing methods, while no comparison-group students did
- ADI students scored significantly higher than structured-inquiry students on the personal epistemology of science subscale, but not on value of science or self-efficacy subscales — related
- Scientific literacy post-test scores, critiquing performance, and inquiry performance were closely related — related
