Subclaims¶

q2 i? Test-takers with embedded subtitled questions scored no differently from those with questions on paper only (Mann-Whitney U = 203.500, z = -.147, p = .885, r = -0.023). → Núñez 2017

Evidence¶

Núñez 2017¶

Casañ Núñez, J. C. (2017). Testing audiovisual comprehension tasks with questions embedded in videos as subtitles: a pilot multimethod study. The EUROCALL Review, 25(1). https://doi.org/10.4995/eurocall.2017.7062

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental comparison of 22 control and 19 experimental SFL students taking two variants of the same audiovisual comprehension test; the Mann-Whitney test showed "no statistically significant difference" and the article concludes the subtitled questions "did not have any impact on test performance".

"The results revealed no statistically significant difference between the test scores obtained by the control group (Mdn= 5.500) and the experimental group (Mdn = 5.000), U = 203.500, z = -.147, p (exact, two -tailed) = .885, r = -0.023, which indicated that the subtitled questions did not have any impact on test performance."
