Subclaims¶

q2 i? Students taught with computer simulations showed significantly higher posttest chemistry achievement than students taught with lecture method (F = 100.756, p < .05). → Okwuduba Emmanuel Nkemakolam; Offiah Francisca Chinelo; Madichie Chinyere Jane 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group study of 78 SS2 students in two coeducational schools; ANCOVA on posttest scores controlling for pretest. Mean gain was "42.26" for the simulation group versus 26.35 for the lecture group.

"The result in Table 3 indicates that the probability of obtaining the F -value (100.756) is zero (0.00), which is less than the 0.05 level of significance. The null hypothesis therefore is rejected, which means that there is a significant difference between the mean achievement scores of students in chemistry taught with computer simulation and those taught with lecture method in favor of experimental group with high mean score."
