Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Fifth graders taught with the computer-based learning package scored significantly higher on the corrected achievement post-test than the traditionally taught control group, with η² = .174. → Serin 2011

Evidence¶

Serin 2011¶

Serin, O. (2011). The effects of the computer-based instruction on the achievements and problem solving skills of the science and technology students. The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, 10(1). https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ926568

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

ANCOVA in a pre-test/post-test control group experiment with 26 experimental and 26 control fifth graders. Corrected post-test means were "Experimental =66.433; Control=58.336", in favour of the experimental group; the printed effect size is η² = .174, as the article reports "the 17.4 % of the variations in the achievements post tests can be accounted for due to being in different process groups".

"there is a statistically significant difference between the means of the post test achievements scores of the pupils in the control and the experimental groups corrected according to the pre test (F(1,49)=10.312; p<.05)"
