Subclaims¶

q2 i? The authors state, in their abstract and discussion, that the textbook affects student character and increases students' encouragement to learn from people with good character; the quasi-experiment's reported outcome is thematic-learning achievement, and although observation is among its data-collection methods, it reports no character measure or character result. → Wuryani 2018

Evidence¶

Wuryani 2018¶

Wuryani, M. T., Roemintoyo, & Yamtinah, S. (2018). Textbooks thematic based character education on thematic learning primary school: An influence. International Journal of Educational Methodology, 4(2), 75-81. https://doi.org/10.12973/ijem.4.2.75

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Authors' interpretation in the discussion of a quasi-experiment whose reported outcome was thematic-learning achievement (pretest and posttest); the abstract states the textbook "also affects the character of students." Observation, interviews and student responses are listed among the data-collection methods, but no character measure, observation result, statistic or effect size for character is reported, so the study does not test this claim.

"The integration of the character education values in the textbook also increases students' encouragement to learn to people with good characters."
