Subclaims¶

q2 i? There is no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught light and sound waves using GITM, F(1,48) = 0.656, P = 0.413. → Ekomaye 2019 q2 i? Male and female students in the experimental group performed almost equally at post-test (75.19 vs 74.52). → Ekomaye 2019 (2)

Evidence¶

Ekomaye 2019¶

Ekomaye, D. G. (2019). Effect of Guided Inquiry Teaching Method on Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Light and Sound Waves in Abuja, Nigeria. Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 6(2), 82-87. doi:10.20448/journal.509.2019.62.82.87

q2 · i? · causal · r2

ANCOVA of post-test LASWAT scores by gender within the experimental group (male N = 25, female N = 23), covariate pre-test. The article reports F(1,48) = 0.656, P = 0.413 > 0.05, so H02 was not rejected; no effect size is printed.

"Table 5 shows that there is no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of male and female students taught light and sound waves using GITM. This is evidenced in the calculated F -value of 0.656 and with probability value of 0.413"

Ekomaye 2019 (2)¶

Ekomaye, D. G. (2019). Effect of Guided Inquiry Teaching Method on Secondary School Students’ Achievement in Light and Sound Waves in Abuja, Nigeria. Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 6(2), 82-87. doi:10.20448/journal.509.2019.62.82.87

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive results in Table 4 for the experimental group: male post-test mean 75.19 (SD 10.200) versus female 74.52 (SD 11.156); the article states "both male and female students performed almost equal at post-test when exposed to GITM".

"However at post -test, male students in the experimental group had a mean score of 75.19 with a mean gain of 54.77 while female students in the same experimental group had a mean score of 74.52 with a mean gain of 55.74."
