Nergiz Ercil Cagiltay 2015¶

Nergiz Ercil Cagiltay, Erol Ozcelik, Nese Sahin Ozcelik. (2015). The effect of competition on learning in games. Computers & Education. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2015.04.001

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Two-way between-groups ANOVA on post-test scores with gender and condition; "no signi ficant main effect of gender" (F(1,138) = 0, p = .98) and a non-significant interaction (F(1,138) = 1.29, p = .26); the authors note unequal cell sizes.

"There was no signi ficant main effect of gender on post-test scores, F(1, 138) ¼ 0, p ¼ .98. The interaction between gender and group did not reach statistical significance, F(1, 138)¼ 1.29, p ¼ .26."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
