q2 i? Motivation to learn out of class differed less between classes (3.73 vs 3.33) but varied more within the experimental class (SD 0.97 vs 0.46). → Deng 2018

Lijun Deng. (2018). The Project-Based Flipped Learning Model in Business English Translation Course: Learning, Teaching and Assessment. English Language Teaching, 11(9). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v11n9p118

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Questionnaire motivation domain from the post-experiment survey; the article reports means of 3.73 (experimental) and 3.33 (control) and interprets the within-class spread as role-related. Descriptive statistics only.

"the higher standard deviation of 0.97 of the experimental class, as compared to 0.46 of the control class, might suggest that the sharpened difference of motivation within the experimental class is caused by the different roles of different student groups."
