Expósito 2020¶

Expósito, A., Sánchez-Rivas, J., Gómez-Calero, M. P., & Pablo-Romero, M. P. (2020). Examining the use of instructional video clips for teaching macroeconomics. Computers & Education, 143, 103705. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2019.103709

q3 · i? · causal · r2

The authors report that "the gender variable does not show any significant effect" and retained it as a control variable to offer more robust results.

"though findings show that the gender variable does not show any significant effect, we have considered to include it in the analysis as potential factor to control for, thus offering more robust results."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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