q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experiment at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University: control group (123 students) taught traditionally, experimental group (121 students) taught with ICT tools including e-mail, social media, online conferencing, and astronomy learning sites. The article reports a t-test finding that "the impact of teaching using ICT was positive at the level of scientific literacy."

"It was found that the impact of teaching using ICT was positive at the level of scientific literacy"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Academic and Critical Literacy — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Secondary students taught in an e-classroom with ICT resources significantly outperform students taught by conventional methods on post-test achievement — a broader claim this one bears on
• TAIA produced higher adjusted post-test scientific achievement than worksheet-supported inquiry, controlling for pre-test and ICT competency — related
