Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Eta square for the effect of e-Mind Maps on achievement was η² = 0.39, which the article describes as a high effect size (39% of variation attributed to the independent variable). → Afaf M. Aljaser 2017

Evidence¶

Afaf M. Aljaser 2017¶

Afaf M. Aljaser. (2017). The Effectiveness of Electronic Mind Maps in Developing Academic Achievement and the Attitude towards Learning English among Primary School Students. International Education Studies, Vol. 10, No. 12. https://doi.org/10.5539/ies.v10n12p80

q2 · i3 · causal · r1

Eta square computed from the T-value comparing the two groups of 15 on the post-achievement test. The article prints the effect size η² = 0.39, reporting that "the calculated η2 of the achievement test was 0.39" and calling it a high degree, exceeding the medium effect sizes reported by earlier studies it cites.

"Table 6 shows that the value of the calculated η2 of the achievement test was 0.39 , indicating that the effect size of the independent variable, i.e. using e-Mind Maps on the academic achievement of the fifth-grade primary female students in the English language curriculum, was 39%. It is a high degree."
