Subclaims¶

q2 i? In a year-long quasi-experiment with grade 7-9 learners, the experimental group taught with biographic material showed a different distribution of emotional-component levels than the control group at post-test, confirming the alternative hypothesis at the 0.05 significance level. → Korsun 2017

Evidence¶

Korsun 2017¶

Korsun, I. (2017). Expediency of Study of the Scientists' Biographies in Physics Course. International Journal of Instruction, 10(2), 229-244. http://www.e-iji.net/dosyalar/iji_2017_2_15.pdf

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental pedagogical experiment in grades 7-9 (five control classes, 122 learners; five experimental classes, 120 learners) during 2015-2016, with pre- and post-test questionnaires. Pearson's criterion analysis at significance level 0.05 confirmed the alternative hypothesis; no effect size is printed. Post-test percentages showed EG low 15.0 vs CG 26.0 and EG high 31.0 vs CG 24.0.

"Thus, analysis of pedagogical experiment confirmed the alternative hypothesis: the difference between theoretical and empirical values of Pearson's criterion has occurred with not accidental, but with essential reasons (implementation of the method of study of the scientists' biographies)."
