q3 · i? · causal · r1

Omnibus one-way ANOVA on epistemological belief scale post-test scores for the 98 students across the three groups, reported in Table 6: "F (2, 95) = 3.593; p <.05". Assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance (Levene Sig. .176) were checked before the test. No effect size was printed.

"As seen in Table 6 , there is a statistically significant difference between comparison and experimental groups in terms of dependent variable (F (2, 95) = 3.593; p <.05)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Epistemic Beliefs — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• EETAM produced significantly higher epistemological belief post-test scores than the comparison group, while TAM did not differ from either the comparison group or EETAM — related
• The authors interpret the six-week intervention length as insufficient for a significant TAM-versus-EETAM difference in epistemological beliefs — related
• Interviews found epistemological belief change themes only in the EETAM group (certain knowledge, omniscient authority, innate ability), with no epistemological findings in the TAM group — related
