Subclaims¶

q2 i? In the experimental group, the pre-to-post change in ECDL logical reasoning was not statistically significant (t(5) = 1.00; p = 0.182), with means of 12.50 before and 12.83 after. → Costa and Miranda 2019

Evidence¶

Costa and Miranda 2019¶

Costa, J. M., & Miranda, G. L. (2019). Using Alice Software with 4C-ID Model: Effects in Programming Knowledge and Logical Reasoning. Informatics in Education, 18(1), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.15388/infedu.2019.01

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Paired-samples t-Student test on ECDL scores before and after the two-month treatment in the very-low-SES experimental group (n = 6). The article reports the change was not significant; no effect size is printed.

"In the experimental group, the improvement wasn't significant (t (5) = 1.00; p = 0.182). Before the experimental treatment this group obtained the average of 12.50 (SEM = 1.565) and after the experimental treatment the average was 12.83 (SEM = 1.778)."

• Post-test programming scores after Alice with 4C-ID, adjusted for ECDL logical reasoning, did not differ significantly between a very-low-SES school group with more grade retentions and an intermediate-SES school group (n = 14) — related
