Pre-post comparison of the 21-student experimental group's EFL learning attitude scale after six weeks of daily Edmodo interaction, analyzed with Mann-Whitney U. The article reports the difference "in favor of the latter"; no effect size is printed.

"The results show that there is a statistically signi ficant difference between the mean rank score of the pre-performance attitude scale (13.76) and that of the post performance attitude scale (29.24) in favor of the latter."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The attitude gains from Edmodo use held for liking, difficulty and integrative values but not for instrumental values of EFL learning — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Saudi female secondary EFL students who used Edmodo alongside traditional teaching showed more positive EFL learning attitudes than a control group after six weeks — related
• Experimental students' perceptions of Edmodo were highly positive, ranking pedagogical purposes highest and social interaction lowest — related
