Subclaims¶

q3 i3 A two-way ANOVA showed a significant influence of the teaching method on medium-term retention of female participants (F(1, 26) = 8.37, p = .008, η2 = .24), the only significant difference in the women's group. → Nader Haghani & Samira Kiani 2018 q3 i? Gender did not significantly affect retention performance of male participants at any of the four time intervals. → Nader Haghani & Samira Kiani 2018 (2)

q3 · i3 · causal · r1

Two-way ANOVA (2 with/without text production × 2 gender) on the women's group (CG n = 14, EC n = 14); the article reports "F (1, 26) = 8.37, p = .008" with η2 = .24 for the 24-hour retention of female participants.

"a significant influence could be observed on the medium-term retention performance of female participants ( F (1, 26) = 8.37, p = .008 ( p ≤ 0.01), η2 = .24). This is the only significant difference in the women’s group."

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Two-way ANOVA on the male group (CG n = 11, EC n = 14) found no statistically significant effects at any interval; the article reports "F (1, 23) = 1.56, p = .224" for short-term and F (1, 23) = 1.08, p = .310 for medium-term retention.

"The F-value for short-term retention is not statistically significant (F (1, 23) = 1.56, p = .224). This also applies to the F-value for medium-term retention (F (1, 23) = 1.08, p = .310)"
