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? There was a statistically significant difference between the EETAM group and the comparison group in epistemological belief post-test scores (p=.034). → Kızkapan 2021
q3 i? There was no statistically significant difference between TAM and comparison (p=.860) or between EETAM and TAM (p=.107) in post-test scores. → Kızkapan 2021

q3 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study with 98 7th graders in three intact classes (TAM, EETAM, comparison). Post-test ANOVA pairwise (Tukey) comparisons on the epistemological belief scale showed "a statistically significant difference between EETAM group and comparison group (p=.034<.05)"; the other pairs were not significant. No effect size was printed.
"While there was a statistically significant difference between EETAM group and comparison group (p=.034<.05), there was no statistically significant difference between TAM and comparison group (p=.860>.05) and between EETAM and TAM group (p=.107>.05) in terms of posttest scores."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Epistemic Beliefs — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Post-test ANOVA on epistemological beliefs showed a statistically significant overall difference among the three groups (F(2,95)=3.593, p=.031) — related
- The authors interpret the six-week intervention length as insufficient for a significant TAM-versus-EETAM difference in epistemological beliefs — related
- Interviews found epistemological belief change themes only in the EETAM group (certain knowledge, omniscient authority, innate ability), with no epistemological findings in the TAM group — related
