Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Learning-interest mean scores differed significantly between groups, t = 3.82, p < 0.05, favoring the VR group (μ = 4.46 vs 4.03). → Friday Joseph Agbo 2023

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Post-questionnaire comparison of learning interest (instrument adapted from Hwang and Chang, 5-point Likert scale, Cronbach's alpha 0.78) between the experimental group (μ = 4.46) and control group (μ = 4.03).
"were statistically significant, (t = 3.82, p < 0.05), suggesting that the students in the experimental group who played iThinkSmart VR mini games have a higher interest in learning CT concepts compared to the students that do not use the educational game to learn CT concepts"
