q2 i3 Repeated-measures ANOVA showed a significant pre-post improvement in total PENCRISAL score, with a printed Eta2 partial of .443. → Carlos Saiz 2016

q2 · i3 · causal · r1

Repeated-measures ANOVA on the PENCRISAL total score for both instruction groups combined, pre- vs post-treatment, from Table 4. The row reports F = 130.213, p = .000, and the printed effect size Eta2 partial = .443. Means rose from 28.08 to 33.71.

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 same intervention significantly improved learners' problem-solving, with a medium practical effect (d = 0.6) — related
• Problem-solving showed a significant pre-post effect although post-treatment means were slightly lower than pre-treatment means — related
• Both instruction groups improved significantly in deductive, inductive and practical reasoning and in decision-making after the ARDESOS-based intervention — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Students taught with the DIAPROVE methodology outperformed the ARDESOS-only group in deductive reasoning — related
