q2 i? After treatment, the experimental (analogy) group showed better performance than the control group on the post Electric Concept Test, a statistically significant difference favoring the experimental group, with no pre-test difference between groups. → Ugur et al. 2012

Evidence¶

Ugur et al. 2012¶

Gokhan Ugur, Refik Dilber, Yasemin Senpolat, Bahattin Duzgun. (2012). The Effects of Analogy on Students' Understanding of Direct Current Circuits and Attitudes towards Physics Lessons. European Journal of Educational Research, 1(3), 211-223. http://www.akademikplus.com/eujer/index.html

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent group t-test comparing post Electric Concept Test scores in a non-equivalent control group design with 51 students; the analogy group "showed better performance than control group’s students", a significant difference favoring the experimental group, while pre-test scores showed no statistical difference between groups.

"After treatment, experimental group’s students showed better performance than control group’s students. This su ccess ratio caused significant statist i- cal difference favor of experimental group (P<0.05)."
