Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Using the aggregate of all camera doctor question components, there was no difference in performance between the DAA First and Lecture First sequences. → Dalrymple 2013
q3 i? On the post-hoc analysis of the description component alone, DAA First students performed significantly better than Lecture First students. → Dalrymple 2013 (2)
Evidence¶
Dalrymple 2013¶
Dalrymple, O., Sears, D. A., & Evangelou, D. (2013). The Relative Pedagogical Value of Disassemble/Analyze/Assemble (DAA) Activities. Advances in Engineering Education. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1076105
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Independent t-test on the aggregate camera doctor (defect diagnosis) scores: DAA First M ± SD = 6.07 ± 1.78 versus Lecture First 5.97 ± 1.73. No significant difference; equivalence was not tested. Measure alpha was .551.
"the independent t-test revealed that there was no difference in performance between the students in the DAA First sequence and the students in the Lecture First sequence, t (323) = .538, p = .591"

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Post-hoc analysis of only the description-of-malfunction component (maximum aggregate 3): DAA First M ± SD = 1.26 ± 0.90 versus Lecture First 1.06 ± 0.87. No effect size printed.
"The independent t-test revealed that students in the DAA First sequence performed significantly better on these questions than students in the Lecture First sequence, t (323) = 2.026, p = .044"
