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.

q2 i? Post-test marks differed significantly between the web-based group (M = 59.76) and control group (M = 46.05) for Course 553 (t = 6.94, df = 42). → Farooq et al. 2012 q2 i? Post-test marks differed significantly between the web-based group (M = 64.42) and control group (M = 49.55) for Course 554 (t = 6.29, df = 42). → Farooq et al. 2012 (2)

Evidence¶

Farooq et al. 2012¶

Muhammad U. Farooq, AbdulRahman Al Asmari & Choudhary Z. Javid. (2012). A Study of Online English Language Teacher Education Programmes in Distance Education Context in Pakistan. English Language Teaching, 5(11). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v5n11p91

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent-samples t-test comparing post-test marks of the 26-student web-based group and 18-student control group for Course 553. The article reports "t-value of comparison was 6.94", exceeding the table value of 2.021, with means of 59.76 and 46.05 respectively.

"It was observed that t-value of comparison was 6.94 at the probability level of 0.05 and the degree of freedom was 42. And t-value was greater than the table value which was 2.021. It shows the significant difference between the post-test marks of the experimental and the control group."

Farooq et al. 2012 (2)¶

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent-samples t-test comparing post-test marks of the web-based and control groups for Course 554. The article reports "the t-value of comparison was 6.29", exceeding the table value of 2.021, with means of 64.42 and 49.55 respectively.

"It was observed that the t-value of comparison was 6.29 at the probability level of 0.05 and the degree of freedom was 42. And the t-value was greater than the table value which was 2.021. It shows the significant difference between the post-test marks of experimental and control group."

Discussion¶

Control group also improved significantly from pre-test to post-test in both courses — related
Online instruction through the CMC-ELT blended model significantly improved MA TEFL students' teaching skills in Pakistan — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
A one-way ANOVA on the same data verified the t-test finding that the experimental group outperformed the control group on total marks — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
Both the experimental and control classes improved significantly from pre-test to post-test in listening — related
