q2 i? Experimental-group LD students achieved significantly higher post-test scores than control-group LD students, with a much higher rate of progress (109.9 percent versus 12.62 percent). → Sivaram and Ramar 2014

Evidence¶

Sivaram and Ramar 2014¶

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 · r1

Post-test comparison of the two matched LD groups (25 each); Table 3 reports means of 42.4 (experimental) versus 23.2 (control) with a t-value of 9.23, significant at the 0.01 level. Groups were matched at baseline (t = 0.62).

"the rate of progress shown by the experimental group LD students taught through computer-assisted instruction is 109.9 percent, while the rate of progress made by the control group LD students is 12.62 per cent."
