Evidence¶

Obiekezie and Timothy 2015¶

Eucharia Obiageli Obiekezie & Alexander Essien Timothy. (2015). Fostering Ethnic and Religious Harmony through Classroom Language Experiences. Journal of Education and Practice, Vol.6, No.25. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1078506

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Independent t-test comparison of post-test ethnic prejudice between randomly assigned control (mean 24.3) and experimental (mean 27.2) groups of 38 students each; higher scores mean less prejudice. The article reports "a calculated t of -2.407 and a p – value of 0.0185". No effect size printed.

"The result as shown in table 3 indicated a calculated t of -2.407 and a p – value of 0.0185. Therefore, there was evidence that students exposed to the Generalisation Assessment Game had significantly less ethnic prejudice than those not exposed."
