Subclaims¶

q2 i? In the experimental (discussion) group, boys' posttest mean (29.98) exceeded girls' (25.58), a significant difference (t cal = 3.621 > 2.000 at P 0.05). → Efe M.Omwirhiren 2015 q2 i? In the control (lecture) group, boys' posttest mean (25.87) exceeded girls' (20.67), a significant difference (t cal = 4.906 > 2.000 at P 0.05). → Efe M.Omwirhiren 2015 (2)

Evidence¶

Efe M.Omwirhiren 2015¶

Efe M.Omwirhiren, Esq. [Ph.D]. (2015). Enhancing Academic Achievement And Retention In Senior Secondary School Chemistry Through Discussion And Lecture Methods: A Case Study Of Some Selected Secondary Schools In Gboko, Benue State, Nigeria. Journal of Education and Practice, Vol.6, No.21. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1079117

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent t-test on posttest CAT scores of 32 boys and 27 girls taught with discussion method (df = 57). Mean gains were 14.23 for boys and 9.13 for girls; the article reports the gender difference as significant.

"The results showed that t - test of post test scores for boys and girls in the experimental group is significant because 3.621 is higher than 2.000."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
