• In the frontal-instruction control lesson, teacher attention concentrated on the student at the blackboard and most students remained passive — related
• The experimental group answered achievement tests faster (6.18 minutes) than the control group (7.51 minutes) — related
• The teacher and researcher judged the individualized tablet-group students more motivated than the control group, but report this as a subjective opinion — related
