Subclaims¶

q2 i? Before PCRI, 18 experimental and 20 control teachers preferred summarizing the text rather than reviewing it. → Karabay 2015 q2 i?

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Pre-test preference data collected before implementation, with participants free to choose summarizing or reviewing. Descriptive frequencies show summarizing was the majority choice in both groups; no test statistic is attached to this comparison.

"Before the PCRI, 18 of the pre-service teachers in the experimental group and 20 in the control group preferred summarizing the text, whereas 10 pre-service teachers in the control group and 12 in the experimental group preferred reviewing."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Qualitative content analysis of pre-test responses to 'The Relationships of Our Politicians with Culture and Art'. Both groups largely took the surface message, treating the ironic claim as a prejudiced hypothesis; frequencies are descriptive.

"18 pre-service teachers in the experimental group and 20 pre-service teachers in the control group claimed that the message of ‘Turkish politicians read’ in the essay given as before the program of critical reading instruction that reflected the view that politicians do not read was an incorrect hypothesis that was developed by prejudiced people."
