Subclaims¶

q2 i? Pre-post differences were significant for deductive reasoning (F=54.706), inductive reasoning (F=30.638), practical reasoning (F=75.592) and decision-making (F=91.590), all p=.000. → Carlos Saiz 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r?

Repeated-measures ANOVA results for the four factors named, reported in the Results section for both groups combined. The article reports the F and p values printed here; no effect size is given in this sentence, so impact is null.

"significant differences were observed in the total and in all the factors: ( FTOT (1,164)= 130.213, p = .000; FDR (1,164)= 54.706, p = .000; F I R (1,164)= 30.638, p = .000; F P R (1,164)= 75.592, p = .000) (FDM (1,164)= 91.590, p = .000 and F PS (1,164)= 4.150, p = .043)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The ARDESOS-DIAPROVE intervention significantly improved critical thinking skills, with higher PENCRISAL medians after intervention in the total score and all five factors — related
• The group-by-time interaction was significant only for inductive reasoning, where the DIAPROVE group improved more than the ARDESOS-only group — related
• Students taught with the DIAPROVE methodology outperformed the ARDESOS-only group in deductive reasoning — related
• A critical thinking instruction program (ARDESOS-DIAPROVE) improved students' metacognition, with significant pre-post gains in the metaknowledge total and most MAI dimensions — related
• The same intervention significantly improved learners' problem-solving, with a medium practical effect (d = 0.6) — related
• The ARDESOS program produced a significant pre-post improvement in overall critical thinking scores — a broader claim this one bears on
• The two intervention groups were equivalent at baseline except in practical reasoning, where group 1 scored higher — related
• Problem-solving showed a significant pre-post effect although post-treatment means were slightly lower than pre-treatment means — related
