Subclaims¶

q3 i1 In a randomized controlled trial, children in the interactive condition outperformed children in the non-interactive condition on the science post-test by 0.32 standard deviations (p < .001), controlling for age, baseline science knowledge, and language proficiency. → Ying Xu 2023

q3 · i1 · causal · r2

Preregistered between-subjects RCT; regression analyses covaried age, baseline science knowledge, and language proficiency. The printed standardized effect size is 0.32 standard deviations: "children in the interactive condition scored 0.32 standard deviations higher than those in the non-interactive condition (p < .001)". Descriptive accuracy was 63.13% interactive vs 55.69% non-interactive.

"the findings indicated that children in the interactive condition scored 0.32 standard deviations higher than those in the non-interactive condition (p < .001)"
