Subclaims¶

q2 i? Experimental-group LD students still scored significantly lower than normal-group students at post-test, but the difference was much smaller than for the control group, which the article reads as CAI enabling LD students to cope with normal students to a considerable extent. → Sivaram and Ramar 2014

Evidence¶

R.T. Sivaram, R. Ramar. (2014). Effect of CAI on Achievement of LD Students in English. li-manager's Journal of English Language Teaching, Vol. 4, No. 1, January-March. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1068387

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Post-test comparison of 25 experimental-group LD students (mean 42.4) and 25 normal-group students (mean 51.5); Table 5 reports a t-value of 3.97, significant at the 0.01 level. The gap remains significant despite CAI.

"There is significant difference in the post-test performance between the experimental group LD students and the normal group students."
