Subclaims¶

q2 i? Experimental-group boys scored significantly higher than control-group boys on the posttest criterion test (means 77 vs 64). → Maheswari and Ramakrishnan 2015

Evidence¶

I. Uma Maheswari, N. Ramakrishnan. (2015). EFFECTIVENESS OF CAI PACKAGE ON ACHIEVEMENT IN PHYSICS OF IX STANDARD STUDENTS. i-manager's Journal on School Educational Technology, Vol. 10 No. 4. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1097442

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Subgroup t-test on posttest CTWPE scores for the 40 boys (20 experimental, 20 control). The article reports the "'t' value ... is 3.170" with significance at 0.01 and 0.05 for df 38, and experimental mean 77 exceeding control mean 64.

"the 't' value between the experimental and control groups' boys in their mean achievement on Criterion Test Work, Power and Energy is 3.170. It is significant at 0.01 and 0.05 level for the df 38. The mean of Experimental group (77) is higher than the mean of control group (64)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group

Related Claims¶

• Learning the physics unit Work, Power and Energy through a CAI package produced significantly higher posttest achievement than traditional teaching among IX standard students — a broader claim this one bears on
• The CAI package on Work, Power and Energy significantly improved physics achievement for girls in the IX standard experimental group, significant at the 0.05 level only — related
• Boys outperformed girls on physics post-tests in both the practical-work and conventional groups, and the experimental group's improvement was larger for boys — related
