q3 i? Experimental group members had significantly higher post-test scores on the attitudes to mathematics scale than control group members after ANCOVA control for pre-test. → Al-Makahleh 2011

Evidence¶

Al-Makahleh 2011¶

Ahmad Abdulhameed Aufan Al-Makahleh. (2011). The Effect of Direct Instruction Strategy on Math Achievement of Primary 4th and 5th Grade Students with Learning Difficulties. International Education Studies, 4(4). https://doi.org/10.5539/ies.v4n4p199

q3 · i? · causal · r2

ANCOVA on the author-developed 20-item attitudes to mathematics scale, controlling for the attitudes pre-test, showed "statistical significant differences (F =95.13)" with experimental means of 31.07 versus 18.37 for control.

"Table 4 indicates statistical significant differences (F =95.13) among participant performances on attitudes to mathematics posttest, which is statistically significant at (α<0.05). Results demonstrate that mean scores were higher (M=31.07) for experimental than for control ( M=18.37) group members."
