q2 · i? · causal · r1

Single-factor quasi-experiment in one public urban kindergarten: a lower-scoring middle class received folk games activities while a parallel class served as control, with pre-, intermediate and post surveys of fine motor. The post-test general average was 1.23 versus 1.14, and the article reports the intervention class "0.09 higher than the control class".

"the post-test result (Table 3) indicated that fine motor skills level of the intervention class has gained obvious improvement with 0.09 higher than the control class, which was showed by the result of fine motor test."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The intervention class started with lower fine motor scores and remained below the control class at the intermediate test one month in — related
• Post-test gains were skill-specific: the intervention class exceeded the control class in pinching, touching, drawing and cutting, but not in folding and stringing — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Practical life materials introduced into conventional kindergartens improve children's fine motor control relative to conventional materials — related
