Jena 2015¶

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Numerical analysis using SPSS and the Euclidean Distance Formula on the pretest misconception responses of the sixty students. The article reports the misconception rate "increased hierarchically in ascending order" across items; the printed distances are descriptive, with no effect size.

"It was resulted that misconception rate was increased hierarchically in ascending order (i.e. from item no. 1 to 15) with the increased cognitive difficulties (i.e. 000, 1.414, 3.606, 5.831, 8.062, 8.602, 11.662, 13.038, 14.422, 17.493, 18.601, 20.000, 21.401, 22.804 and .000) on ATP generation from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation."
